Robert wants Chino to be 150,152 at fightnight.

No way, that's too low for Maidana. 157 should be the target if Garcia wants him lighter and faster. Rehydrate 10 pounds, nothing less. Exactly what I was thinking. Make it an even 10 pound cut and I think he'd be good. Chino needs to focus on cardio cardio cardio! Get a bigger gas tank! Everybody and their mother knows that Mayweather is going to come into this rematch breathing fire! Chino better be ready to go a full 12 rounds, con ganas!

he wants chino to be able to sustain the kinda pressure and pace he had in the first few rounds for longer so he wants him carrying less weight ... don't think he'll come in that low though ... high 150s should siuffice. imo floyd doing so well in the later rounds was at least as much to do with maidana flagging off as it was any alterations that floyd made. Exactly. Good post.

Way too light and won't happen.

Ariza already confirmed Maidana's fight night weight was bogus, they weighed him with clothes and shoes on. Stephen Edwards say in a mailbag awhile ago that you'd be surprised that that's what the networks usually do, weight you with your stuff on

Maidana has floyds number. Cant wait to hear the excuses that floyd lost on purpose or Let him hit him again for the fans. Dont respect pillow fist floyd and mix your boxing with fighting And floyyd is on the ropes again in fight two with more energy to chop him down

Sounds unrealistic to me and even if it's possible I'm not sure it's healthy and/or a good idea.

His only advantage was the weight so dont know why they would want him coming in lighter

i believe ariza said maidana was around 156 the first time

If it improves his stamina - yes. I dont think Chino can KO floyd, even if he will be at fight night like 170 lbs, so coming in to the fight too heavy doesnt make sense for me.

H didnt look bad for someone that weighed in at 165 on fight night for the first fight. Would he feel better if he is lighter? who knows but as long as he doesnt drain himself too much.

If he came in that light, he would be drained. Seriously bad idea. U don't just make guys shrink and think there wont be consequences. Maidana isn't built to he that type of fighter.

maidana coming in at 150 or 152 is a bad mistake , his weight advantage is all he has , i think floyd hurts him bad if he comes in weighing like that .

I think it's a good idea. That was the heaviest Chino ever came into a fight if I'm not mistaken. 155-160 would be ideal IMO Agreed, anywhere between that is where he needs to be.

Nope. Robert and maidana know this 1.maidana is stronger either way and hits harder and he can take floyds shot better then floyd can take his 2.no fear of floyd , no butterflies, knows his speed and timing . 3.they want and need more stamina and are making proper adjustments. 4.floyd is trying to play mind games with team maidana instead of showing respect and going to work. He is known to be insecure when he speaks to much. The fans wanted this fight not him. We pressured him into making him think he possibly lost (I had it 6-6 draw) 5.floyd payed him to change his gloves (1.5 million) Whats next he has fight bare foot or with constrution boots and 16 oz sparring gloves. TBE TBE TBE (but wear these gloves doe)

Being heavy is what allows Chino to absorb just about anything that Floyd throws at him. 150-152 seems too light, maybe 160.

150,152 is far too low I think. The weight/strength advantage is key for Maidana. He should come in to the ring at the high 150s/low 160s.
