Man... Mayweather has slowed down A LOT.
The body punches Mayweather ate in the early rounds were BRUTAL. Cringe inducing, really. I'm rewatching it in a calm state, and I'm seeing it for what it is.
His boxing skills saved him. And he has some dog in him. That saved him too.
I'm not trying to take anything away from Maidana's performance, but Money Mayweather is discernibly slower.
And his power is low to mid tier.
I think Mayweather should retire.

One thing nobody has mentioned is that in Floyds other fights, when his opponent comes at him with a combo, Floyd usually nods his head as if to say "you can't hit me", then he smiles. You didn't see that one time Saturday night. Those body shots, took a huge toll on him as well as all of the rough housing by Maidana. Another thing, Floyd dictating to Tony Weeks on how to ref the fight needs to be investigated. Every time floyd turned to complain, Weeks jumped in like his mother. Completely unacceptable for a veteran ref.
That was fooking disgraceful.

Floyd threw alot of jabs to the body. He has a tell when he does it
If theres a rematch, I would tell Maidana to work on throwing a straight right when he does it
maidana did catch him with a quick left uppercut at one point, but yea, the whole time i was thinking he should look for the straight when floyd is doing that, but he was more busy just defending the jab to the body by jumping back or leaning forward

I'm watching pac/marquez 4 for the 2nd time.
Pac wins clearly IMO
Another floydcunt smears faeces all over himself. The thread has nothing to do with Manny or Marquez, yet here comes the retard!:lol1:
Watched it 3 times too, that body work was just punishing. Floyd's conditioning is truly amazing. I don't think Floyd has slowed it was Maidana's style and head movement at times that caused problems.
Of course Ward is gonna say Mayweather won eight to four; he's a boxer therefore he's somewhat biased against brawlers and favors a boxing style.
Yer in a sport called BOXING its a valid point......
his power was less than normal and he was slower than he's been in the last couple of fights because he was brutally broken down, it was as early as round 1 that maidana laid a beatdown on him, after some vicious body shots from maidana floyd would throw a punch back that looked just awful, looked like his entire frame was still vibrating from the punishment
he was broken down and slightly intimidated
anyone see maidana reading into mayweather pull counter and feeding floyd a brutal straight right hand to the chest as maidana ducked his head and avoided floyds right, foyd ran right into that shot, rd 10 i believe
I was thinking...of all the theories I've seen about why Floyd looked the way he did, nobody has mentioned he is 37 AND has fought 3 times in the past calendar year. This is a guy who was fighting once a year for 5 years or so. There are so many possible factors and all might actually have some truth to them.
"Probably 8-4, give or take," remarked undefeated super middleweight king Andre Ward. "It's one thing to throw 'em; another thing to land them...it wasn't what the fans tried to say it was," stated world-class trainer Virgil Hunter, who gave his post-fight

IMO body punches hurt more. They don't go away. I bet Mayweather is gonna be sore for weeks.
Absolutely. No mani pedi or massage for Floyd for a couple of weeks. He'll be soaking in ice baths.
Floyd is a tough guy and body punches don't put him down, but Maidana was wearing pillows on his fists.
I wanted to see if Floyd would do as well as Broner did. But I cant fairly gauge as Broner didn't request pillows on Maidanas fists. I think Broner did equally as good as Floyd actually.
:rofl:
That made me LOL.
I can sleep at night knowing we won the fight EASILY 8-4
Watched it twice now.
People who scored it for Maidana obviously don't like clear punching because he only landed 3 ALL fight lmao.
"Ohhhh did you see all the brutal body punches".....absolute bull****, floyd was still moving like he was 18 years old and maying maidana look 48 in the process.
Whos "we" :rofl: you Fruad Team clown.
You are literally the only person on this forum who thinks Floyd won that fight easily. He looked 37 in there and had no real answers for Marcos. Floyd is probably pissing blood.
Taken life and death by MARCOS MAIDANA :lol1: TBE my ass

Yes, but were they "quality" brutal punches? i think not. When Fraud punched Maidana, sure, it barely slowed him down, but that was "quality", now when Chino fked up his face, that wasnt quality punching, ugly mean punching that lacke quality.
Was a fun fight. Maidana put it on him early and Mayweather really had to fight him off to take over and win.
Maidana never let up. And keep in mind Maidana doesn't have to land clean to do damage.
Marcos had a brilliant back attack. The way he attacked FMJ elbows, forearms, and gloves were just brutal. I never seen Floyd hit flush in the back soo many times....yea guys he is really slowing down. BUT HE WON DOE lmao
