He's a crafty cat. Chino was jabbing the f*ck out of Floyd... And landing it sometimes 2-3 in a row.
Additionally, I'm concerned. Floyd didn't show any power that indicates he could hurt Khan... He didn't even budge Maidana once. Chino was just walking through clean counters like nothing. Mayweather should have used his legs more. His style is not set up to plant his feet and fight. He can. But it's not his A game. And he showed some grit by absorbing all those body punches and still coming back.
Chino was also making Floyd miss. He's good. I'm sold on Maidana. New fan.
1:50 into the 12th round chino makes Floyd hit nothing but air 5 times in a row. 0 for 5
I don't know where Maidana learned defense but he has a good one. In the Mayweather-Maidana All Access Maidana's dad told him to move his head when he fights Floyd. Maybe he learned it from pops. lol

I don't think he could use his legs with someone that is light on his feet and contrary to popular belief Chino isn't flatfooted in the sense of a Rios, he actually kept up and closed the distance, Floyd hand no way out. Also the power might not be there, but Chino said in one of Seckbach's videos after the fight he had to be cautious and couldn't be aggressive at certain times because Floyd's a good counter puncher.
Im so lost we giving props for winning 4 rounds? If anyone deserves props its Mayweather for keeping his composure amongst all that dirty bullshyt.
C'mon GB, that was the most Floyd has ever been hit. It was one hell of a fight. I had Floyd winning but it was very close. I'll have to watch it again but I can admit I usually give most close rounds to Floyd.
As a Maidana fan, props to Mayweather; he has some dog in him I never knew he had.
I'm glad someone who isn't a Floyd fan can say something respectful about him. I'm a Floyd fan and while I don't like watching him struggle I was proud how hard he fought.
I didn't understand why few "experts" gave Chino little chance. He's one tough mofo. I look forward to watching more of his fights.
you gotta try to hurt someone if you wanna hurt someone.
bradley is not known for his power but he was able to hurt pac...because he tried.
floyd doesn't totally commit to his offense...he always shifts back to his defense after throwing a punch. that always gives his opponents a breather because there's no follow up.
For a minute there i thought i was walking away with close to $2300 but Floyd pulled it off.
Respect to Maidana. Been awhile since someone took Floyd to that level
