Comments Thread For: Canelo: Maidana Complicated Things For Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LOS ANGELES --- Saul "Canelo" Alvarez had his unbeaten streak snapped when he dropped a majority decision to Floyd Mayweather last September, so he was a very interedted observer of last weekend's Mayweather-Marcos Maidana fight.

Alvarez, who faces Erislandy Lara on July 12 at the MGm Grand in Las Vegas on Showtime PPV, believes Mayweather deserved to get the decision.

I guess Canelo didn't learn anything from Maidana.

Floyd didn't "stand there". Maidana chased him and swarmed him. Floyd took over when Maidana got too tired to give chase and stood at range getting hit with jabs and crosses.

Canelo just stood there at range the whole time. With aggressive swarmer footwork like Maidana he would be a total bully.

Canelo is spot on about Mayweather making adjustments then taking over in the later rounds.

Canelo's dumbass should've fought more like Maidana instead of thinking he was going to outbox him in the center of the ring.

But hilarious that TBE May Vinci code was cracked by a club fighter

So you really think in a rematch Maidana would be able to do that again, so Floyd all of the sudden forgets how to use his legs, be real, he made that fight interesting by staying in the pocket. In a rematch Maidana would be deducted points for rabbit punching taking away his secret weapon. What can he do after that...nothing but be a punching bag.

Yeah Floyd the heroic brawler let Maidana hit him on purpose
(this is the same guy who nearly cancelled the fight if Maidana wore MX or Cletos)

Shhhhh

Maidana knocked out Broner because he moves forward very quickly and while he didn't knock out Floyd the same thing allowed him to keep cornering him

Canelo has no footwork

From the opening round Floyd went to the ropes and pridefully wanted to prove that he was the sharper inside fighter. He normally goes to the ropes in the 8th round to rest. No matter how many times Marcos hit him, he stayed their.

Floyd has fought opponents WAAAY better, faster, stronger, bigger, better footwork than Marcos He overpowered Canelo and actually walked him down. I knew he would be too strong for Marcos.

Marcos didnt fight that Floyd. This Floyd was weak, no pop, flashy soft punches. Against Nelo he buckled him with a stiff jab in the 4th round and I have doubts Marcos can last 4 rounds with Nelo. Btw, I called this fight a draw. No way did Floyd win, but Marcos didnt completely dominate. So I aint biased.
