Comments Thread For: CompuBox Historical Review: Maidana vs. Soto Karass

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jesus Soto Karass the much busier fighter, while Marcos Maidana is the harder puncher. This should be a power punch festival, as 28 of their combined 35 punches landed per round (80%) were power shots. Maidana's opponents landed 41% of their power punches and Soto Karass opponents landed 43% of their power shots. [Click Here To Read More]

Marcos is letting bombs fly... Soto Karass has a hell of a chin, wonder how long it will hold up.

Maidana does not look good at this weight at all. He is fighting dirty too.

[Weebler I]

Stoppage win, Maidana.

Lets do this **** again , this was a good fight to watch

[TheUptownKid]

premature hate to see a close fight stopped by the ref, especially if the opponent isn't asleep

[Prince_Pugilist]

I didnt like the stoppage. Karass was still able to defend himself, I hate seeing good fighters like Karass short changed. He deserved a longer go, he deserved, in what is probably his last chance, to go out on his back if thats the way the way it had to be.

[Prince_Pugilist]

but, from Maidana's point of view, apart from the holding early on and the cheap lowblows, he seemed to be a better boxer overall. His jab was very good and he managed to defend a lot of body shots that came his way, some thing he was easily caught with in earlier fights

You are a bum! Maidana looks awesome n could easily go on to win a title at this weight!

[Prince_Pugilist]

I think he would have got stopped eventually though...maidana just got into beast mode and was letting those hands fly.

I agree, the most likely outcome was Maidana knocking Karass out but Soto was still firing back. He should have been given a chance to continue.
