Comments Thread For: Mayweather Repeats, Decisions Maidana in Las Vegas

[White_Knight]

I actually thought it was an interesting fight - entertaining even. I didn't anticipate either fighter fighting the ways they did.

It annoys me, however, when coaches try to transform sluggers and brawlers into boxer-puncher types, as was the case with Maidana. It would have been better had he employed the same gameplan as in the first fight, although with Bayless as referee I can't be sure of that.

Despite his crap gameplan, Maidana nailed Floyd with a fair few peaches in this fight; I think Floyd was rocked a few times.

Hopefully Floyd's next fights aren't wasted on Brook or Khan. Those guys suck anushole. Thurman would be a good opponent.

Thats true...however
No, You said Floyd did adjustments, i didn't see them, onlything different this time was Bayless. He still was backed up and cornered into the ropes, even more so in this fight, DIFFERENCE is that Bayless bailed him out the ropes everytime he was backed up with no where to go. Almost every clinch he initiated was because Maidana was successful in putting him there, and those were ALOT, only difference is that Bayless did his work for him by stoping the action as soon as Mayweather opens his arms, and turning a blind eye at the excessive clinching Mayweather was doing.

IF you dont get that, i dont know what to say.

So mayweather never got off the ropes unless bay less helped hi
Is what your saying? Had nothing to do with floyd getting out of there himself huh?

Another robbery. Floyd hugged all night, how can you fight if someone hugs you? Floyd was hurt and wobbled, his mouth was a bloody mess, Maidana chased him all night despite Floyd having all the advantages. Boxing is making me sick, glad I didnt pay for this snooze fest. props to Maidana and Floyd is a disgrace to the sport and to manhood.

LOL @ comparing what Pac did to Brandon to what Floyd did to Maidana lol... go luck at Pac's punch stats against Rios... he didn't hold Rios..he kept turning Rios and attacking from all angles... Floyd went the John Ruiz route for this fight... Who are you BSing?

Pac was moving a lot more than usual. Yet when Floyd moves he's running. When he lays on the ropes he "got his ass wooped."

Watch the first rounds and how Floyd approached them, in the first fight Floyd was content to let Maidana get after him early, which helped Maidana gain confidence that helped him all fight long. In this fight Floyd never let Maidana get started like that which changes a lot about the flow of the fight.

Floyd fought that fight a lot differently that included more clinching and more movement, which is usually effective on wild guys like Maidana who need room to really operate and to be set.

If you can't tell how Floyd approached these two fights differently, then what is there to really talk with you about here? If a guy can't deal with a ref calling a fight a certain way then that is their problem for not being good enough, which was exactly Maidana's issue tonight once again.

[Ham Porter]

Fraud used a lot of clinching four months ago; difference tonight was, he had a referee that immediately broke them whenever Mayweather initiated a clinch. Even when Maidana had a hand free and was attempting to work, he still broke them.


Classic case of having to compete against both the opponent and the refereee.

LOL more Floyd-hypocrisy. Vlad clinches you complain, Floyd does it and it's OK. Clinching is illegal, you do realize that right? If Floyd clinched that much in Fight Night, he would have been DQd. Floyd obviously did need to clinch or else he wouldn't have done it.

Clinching is illegal. Thus, Floyd is a dirty fighter.

Find a post where I complained about Wlad clinching.

Mayweather won, big deal. Maidana was fighting Floyd and his bodyguard Bayless. Floyd looked a little slower as the fight progressed and did alot of clinching. Garcia should of complained but did not between rounds about the excessive holding. Maidana tried to box more which I feel was really really dumb, I blame Garcia for that. Mayweather at the end interview seemed like he knew that was a C- performance. But that C- performance was still good enough to beat Maidana. Bayless should be investigated for the blind eyes to the softcore **** Floyd was doing. I am sure it bombed on PPV numbers i hear alot of people streamed it, which was a smart thing. The British guys are so biased at times when it comes to Floyd.
And if you did not know Mr. Larryxxx said Floyd should retire....omg

Easy fight. People complaining about holding because of paulie. A smart boxer grabs an aggressive fighter to disprupt his forward momentum. Floyd working that body. Straight rights and left hands landing while moving away from the ropes. Sure at 37&1/2 he looked a bit sharper in the first fight but he still easily carried it. Hopefully PAC wins and May and arum can negotiate a fight that should have happened a few years ago.
