Running, clinching, Floyd's pal constantly shouting "stop! stop! stop!" Eating punches while trying to look like the Floyd of old.
So this is what we're supposed to call boxing now? A guy running all night long in a race track sized ring?:lol1:
lost a lot of respect for my favorite ref last night...not a single warning for all that holding...people at the fight party actually started mingling and stopped paying attention by the 6th round..it was pretty sad
bayless over reacted to the biting incident. he kind of protected floyd after that.
Showtime got themselves into some deep shyt with their 6 fight deal. Too much money for a non entertaining fighter. This shows you that networks shouldn't go in for multi fight deals in the fight game.
i'm sure Showtime was really happy cuttin a $32mil check for a C- performance which consisted of 20 clinches per round
Show time needs to say we ain't paying you boy now get to stepping and don't let the door hit you on the way out
I just watched the fight on you tube and I think the clinching Mayweather did is exaggerated somewhat. I expected to see more than I did. He didn't really clinch excessively except for a few of the later rounds. Kell Brook clinched far more against Porter. I didn't think Bayless did a bad job.
But it was not an eventful fight. I would not say Floyd dominated the fight. Maidana landed more of the better shots. I thought Maidana did bite him on the palm part of the glove where there isn't a lot of padding. Although it probably didn't hurt him significantly because there was the mouthguard and some material in between Maidana's mouth and his hand.
But I don't think Floyd fights are PPV worthy now. He can't KO anyone and seeing him feint, move and potshot is not that exciting. I knew it wouldn't be worth it. I think for a 37-year fighter he still is good, but he has lost some of his quickness and reflexes. He's not great.
They should add to compubox mileage statistic, i think Floyd did like 20 miles, a true TBE.
Last time you were saying his legs were shot lol you haters are trash .
Floyd put on a clinic yesterday. A lesson on how to use your legs and take a punch. Look how good he looked after the fight swollen lip bruises. An all time great marcos may not have had any external damage but I bet he had a broken rib or internal bleeding. Great fight from floyd tho, imagine if clinching was scored wow this fight would be even better for floyd.
:lol1::lol1:
For the last time it wasnt clinching..it was veteran crafty technique!!!!!
didn't Floyd say he was going to go for the ko?
Someone should tell him hed have a better chance if he spent less time hugging and clinching Maidana.
You can't KO your opponent by running and hugging. It's impossible. TBDE is a huge joke in boxing.
The hugging was terrible and the blatant running at times reminded me of a wounded Khan but Floyd proved a couple things:
A) His legs are not shot
B) He can take a punch
floyd fought a great fight, you cant blame him for the refs mistakes. if anyone is at fault (other than the ref himself obviously) its garcia for disrespecting him in the lead up to the fight, that was just dumb.
why shouldnt floyd clinch if it benefits him and he can get away with it? the movement wasnt excessive except for in the last round when he had the fight won. for the first 11 rounds he merely put on a great display of footwork.
people always criticize though. ive seen more so called running from ali, leonard, pep and robinson. yet people do the whole "this is what boxing has come to" crap. this is what boxing has been for nearly 100 years, not exclusively but in part.
just be real people. you tune in to see floyd lose, if he doesnt lose you will be dissapointed and take it out on floyd. if he does lose you will say he was trash all along. cant you starts some forum dedicated to your crap and let real boxing fans discuss boxing in peace?
it was a dispicable fight from floyd and i cant believe how the *****s wanna call it masterful and exciting etc. Give me a break, floyd could screw their mother and theyd call it masterful
Come off it already marcos ONLY gave floyd a busted lip and bruises. Maybe and I mean maybe he wobbled floyd in round 3. But did you see floyd's clinches just masterful I don't think I could break from his arms if he clinched me and i'm allot larger than him.

That's because you dont understand a mastermind chess player TBE fighter like Floyd. Floyds plan was to outrun Maidana in the ring, so much that Chino would fall unconscious due to dehydration and exhaustion. TBE!TBE!

Guess Floyd's face didnt get the Compubox memo because it looked pretty fuked up while Chino looked as if he had gone jogging for the last hour, which he kind of did. :lol1:
Wait, so we're not scoring side hopping and hugging? Fuk me! You mean you're supposed to punch people in boxing?
Just open your freaking mind man imagine the damage marcos may have that we don't know about. The strength of a hug from mayweather especially at that frequency could cause some serious internal damage. Floyd was a craftsmen in the ring. If you think otherwise you probably don't understand the african american experience.

Ya but boxing is not about facial damage and who takes the biggest beating. Its a chess match, I mean come on look at mickie bays face and he won.:boxing:

Algeris eye was closed for a week after the ruslan fight. So ruslan won right? No **** china hits harder. He still only won 3 rounds max lol, in his prime. Put the blame on everyone except china and Roberts gameplan and his terrible conditioning
