Comments Thread For: Maidana’s Adviser on Contract Status, Mayweather Talks

[hitking]

if it didnt matter, floyd wouldnt make a big deal about it right? remember when debating about catchweights when it comes to manny? if it didnt help him he wouldnt be asking for it remember?

A lotta A-side fighters "make a big deal" outta **** that doesn't matter. Cotto insisted that the Martinez fight take place at 159. Was that pound the difference between winning and losing?

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Yeah, why would it be Maidana... The guy that has come closest to beating Floyd since Castillo?

It's not far fetched to say that Floyd is deteriorating as a physical specimen... Meanwhile, Maidana has arguably not even reached his peak yet. They dumped Ariza, but Maidana was sparking guys out before Ariza. There are other less drama laden s&c's that will get Maidana in peak shape. It was/and is, RGBA that will take Maidana to the next level.., not Ariza.

Anyway, Maidana can do even better, depending on gloves, and the tactics he uses. Was smothering a lot of his work, needs to throw crisper combinations right from his wheelhouse. Mid range. Picture if he led with a right uppercut to the gut, then left hook, then right hand, then another left hook, or strong jab. Effective combinations is what he should work on. He can beat Floyd.

The thing is, Maidana just simply isn't fast enough and then there's the fatigue factor plays later on. The plan he used against Mayweather only just delayed the inevitable and Floyd would be more ready next time. There's a good chance that he may even dominate most of the fight (though there's also the possibility that it still won't be as easy as some people expect).

Because it "did not make contact", it's ok? By the way, Maidana didn't "threatened a knee", he did it. That makes it "dirty".

That's the most inept thing I've read today. Either something makes contact or it doesn't. Could Maidana have made contact with his knee, did he have the ability to? Yes. It's not like Floyd avoided a full blown attempt. What happened is Maidana started to, then pulled it back before impact. Not the same as what you are implying. Not even in the same realm.

It's like if I pull a gun on you, and you fall out sayin I shot you.

Maidana had enough speed in the first tilt to catch May in the center of the ring with over hands and jabs, and a nice lil left hook in the 12 th. Also he landed a nice uppercut to the gut in either the end of round 6 or 7. One of them, The other round he accentuated With a strong jab that made May reset..

I contend that if Maidana utilizes effective combinations from an effective range once he manages to make contact, he'll win going away. Like the uppercut to the gut, left hook right hand combo for instance, or throwing combinations off of the jab once he makes contact with that... Or dig to the ribs once you land the overhand.. Or throw the left hook once you land the uppercut. Ect. Throw in crisp combinations right from his wheelhouse. His bread and butter. He CAN beat Floyd.

I think this is going to happen next.

Can't complain because the first fight was a tough one and the rematch would be no different IMO.

But I would have preferred someone else.

Its the only fight that makes sense for floyd right now.

Even Chino the cheater own people say the gloves wouldn't have made a difference. Sure he's use to using gloves without padding most cheaters are. Doesn't matter either way, when Floyd beats his zza again he'll still get no credit because haters want Floyd to fight someone who walks around at 160+ pounds. Strange how people cry about Pacroid being to small and his catch weight demands shouldn't be an issue. But if Floyd won't fight some MW fans start crying he's ducking.....

But in the end, Maidana just simply couldn't overcome Mayweather's adjustments. His strategy only worked in the earlier half of the fight but he's got to keep it up longer than that to beat Floyd.

All of that is just a big "if". It's not enough to say he can beat Floyd.

Since when 900k isn't alot PPV buys? What other fight that doesn't involve Mayweather will produce close to that.



Matthyse uses powerlock Everlast he doesn't seem to have a power problem shrugs anybody who think Maidana won can't properly score a fight. He fought a tough fight but got more for not being white washed.

Quoted for actual points.

You are correct those are exact gloves Matthyse used to destroy iron chin john Molina, unless Matthyse hits exponentially harder than credited.

[Pugilist95]

Floyd needs to be on his bicycle this time around.

I don't think Floyd needs a rematch with Maidana personally it was a clear win; was it tough and competitive yes. But it this stage it wouldn't bother me either. Only thing I wish people would stop crying about the damn gloves; Maidana wasn't hitting Floyd with chin or temple shots hell he never buckled Floyd the MX Everlast gloves made no difference. He is supposed to be big puncher; but Shane Mosely in Grants damn near Ko'd Floyd and Maidana supposely hits harder than Shane. Lucas doesn't seem to have a issue putting people comatose in Powerlocks but they zapped all of Maidana's power.
