Comments Thread For: Marquez Saw a Draw or Close Win For Mayweather

[Weebler I]

I agree with Marquez, that's how I saw the fight. Floyd close, or a draw.

People focus too much on how much Maidana "missed." Connect percentage doesn't win fights. Carrying the rounds wins fights. Maidana carried more rounds and the rounds Maidana won he won more decisively. Mayweather did nothing to earn any of the first 6 rounds. Hanging on the ropes and pot shotting a few times doesn't win rounds.

Additionally, after reviewing the fight in slow motion, I now realize that compubox numbers are misleading and just false. I counted the punches for round 2. Mayweather didn't even throw the number of punches he was credit with throwing let alone landed the number of punches he was credit with, and Maidana landed more shots than counted. If Maidana hits Mayeather's arms and body..those shots should be counted as landing, shouldn't they?

I had Maidana winning the fight 7-5.

Floyd won rounds 2,3,7 and swept 9 through 12. Maidana gassed out, he wasn't being as reckless in the final rounds, he was eating stiff jabs to the stomach and lead rights. 7-5 Floyd. Chino landed 9 rabbit punches in round 1 alone plus a blatant low blow, shoulda been DQ'd.

Boxing is annoying as its all subjective.
Maidana won 7-5. He threw more than double punches of Floyd and its a bit of a stretch to say he missed all those punches. Floyd threw less punches by a long way so spent all the fight defending, and you cant win a fight by defending, fights are not won by defending.
All defending does is stop you getting ko'ed which Floyd is good at. It don't win you fights though.
Historically when a fight is close, the judges favour the man who pressured, but FLoyd is given a pass yet again.

More of a wrestling match is right, Maidana was shooting with a ******* on a rifle range with all those misses.

Floyd didn't win a wide decision. 115-113 or 114-114.

Your now one of like 2 or 3 people in NSB who thinks Floyd won some wide decision. What does that tell you?

It tells me most here have an agenda. Unlike Marquez you so call fans of boxing have the option and free time to rewatch the fight. I said this many times if someone watching the fight live felt it was as close as draw then I see no problem but if they are still arguing that it's a draw days later sun up to sun down then they are not a good source of boxing knowledge.

Also your neg is welcomed. I already know your agenda is to promote Pacquaio as a dangerous opponent or match up for Floyd but anyone who pays attention knows Paxquaio will not have success and wouldn't even meet expectation except "Floyd won because he washed up". It's still a useless fight buddy.

All this arguing who won. If Floyd loses a fight don't you want it decisive? It'd be a damn shame if Floyd was beaten controversially.

2 people who got humiliated by him....... floydiots

Maidana lost ...PAC hasn't Ko anyone dive allegation and lost 3rd and 4th fight against Marquez but they gave him 3rd fight because it was close same type if fight here...Floyd landed more real shots maidana landed harder...but you PAC idiots think that only works for PAC roid....pacs a fake ...he can't even Ko lightweights now and Floyd been the same for 17 years ...he could always beat PAC but Thurman may kill him at 37

[junior gong]

The fight was a Maidana type of fight and Maidana still lost, get over it!!
