What Garcia meant was to come inside but to make sure that he doesn't smother his punches by getting too too close to him. This way, Maidana can extend his arms more and get better leverage on his shots and be more accurate......
Being on the outside is crazy. Garcia would never have told Maidana to stay there!
It doesn't matter who the ref is. If they allow that much holding then it removes the advantages to the fighter that needs to fight on the inside. Go check out the Devon Alexander fight. I called it from back then about Maidana. Devon held for dear life throughout the fight and it frustrated Maidana ...... and guess who was the ref? Steve Smoger!!! Smoger didn't call all that and Devon won easily. So you see, you don't need to be Floyd to beat Maidana when the ref allows the opponent to do all that holding.
