Comments Thread For: Maidana: Maybe I am Dirty, But so is Mayweather!

[forget]

I recently watched Mayweather fight with Gatti and he stopped Gatti the same way he stopped Victor Ortiz. Cheap shot while Gatti was looking at the ref.
Mayweather has always gotten away with breaking the rules.

gatti was stopped before he entered the ring, but what floyd did to ortiz or gatti wasnt honorable however none of it was illegal in the rules of boxing, the ref did a horrible job

protect yourselfs at all times

Those pyrotechnics had Gatti shook before the fight. Took all the fight out of him. PI-YOW!

Throwing punches while your opponent is "looking at the ref" is not against the rules.

dirty boxing is usually done via the clinch guys, it involves arms/holding/pushing/hitting while in the clinch/etc... and is/was used by many great fighters including some that you all have on your ATG list and avatars...

please do not try to make us boxing fans accept low blowing, rabbit punching, and tackling as okay in the sport just because you have a personal issues with the fighter it was done to. it is not okay to purposley low blow your opponent, head butt them, hit them in the back of the head, or tackle them. we understand u hate mayweather and would love to see him lose but its time to grow up. i dont always agree with what he says or does myself but i cant support a fighter being low blowed on purpose just because i dont agree with them

Man you have got to stop crying so much. Maidana, the subject of the thread, has no reason to complain. Gatti and Mosley are not being discussed.

Shut the *** up and stop your crying about other people crying. You sound like a *****.

so u agree with low blowing another fighter on purpose? did not alot of the greats have dirty boxing in their arsenal? so u complain about them??? how can u be a boxing fan and support low blowing on purpose? outside of low blows and rabbit punching n tackling (on purpose) its all good man...

oh wait, low blows and rabbit punching n tackling (on purpose) r all good as long as its done to a boxer i personally hate... is that what u would like to hear?

Is not floyd's forearm/elbow to the face used to intentionally create space to land a punch with the free hand? Its as intentional as anything Maidana did.

Is another banned poster found the password for their old alt.

You stop crying, about me crying, about them crying.

its a technique used in boxing, its a dirty boxing/tactic brother what do u want me to do? as a boxing fan i can complain about the forearm if its excessive or swung as a weapon yes. but im not about to sit here and whine about it all damn day like u all do....because ive watched the sport for years and trained in it and understand certain tactics... have u ever seen Ali fight? ive seen floyd warned about it before maybe you should write a letter to someone so that they disqualify him next time it happens

there is nothing u can do to make me justify or agree with puposley low blowing (hitting another man in the balls) a fighter. especially after knowing how it feels

So for all of those that claim Mayweather is dirty because of his forearms and elbows. Here is a referee's take on it:
