For those of you who said Floyd didn't choose to go toe to toe..
He told you what he was gonna do. He does but only cause Marcos made him LOL. K
Agree. Floyd could have boxed and moved, but he wanted to make it interesting.
Mayweather would have won easy if he boxed, instead of fighting toe-to-toe?
He didn't go toe to toe. It's an excuse.
Who you think won? How did you score it?

Floyd didnt have a chose. Maidana would not let him box.
True to a certain extent, but he could have kept him off with a consistent jab. Then set up some punches.
No way he go toe to toe!!!!!!!...he tried to outbox but he couldn't
115-113 for maidana I scored
Well not toe-to-toe but he stood in front of him, instead of moving. What rounds did you give him?

Nah not done but it's only downhill from here.
I don't see him retiring undefeated if he does have 3 more fights.
Who is he going to lose to? Do you think he loses to a better opponent or father time, or both?

I thought Mayweather won 116-112.
:cool3: What did you think of his performance?

Thought it's the worst I've ever seen Floyd. IMO.
Woah, Do you think he's done?

Maidana had aggression and activity, but Mayweather had accuracy and precision. It only looked like Maidana was doing something was because he was constantly smothering Floyd. He never really landed anything significant, except some good body shots. Mayweather clearly landed the cleaner, harder and effective shots, that's why he won the fight.
Maidana made it so Mayweather COULDN'T box as much. That's what made Maidana very successful until he started slowing down and let Mayweather get the later rounds.
Mayweather didn't DECIDE to go toe-to-toe, he had NO CHOICE in the matter. Maidana kept pressuring him throughout the entire fight.

No, Marcos forced him to fight. Floyd wins the easiest way he can, nothing about his personality, and safety first attitude would lead credence to him choosing to stand trade.

When Floyd stood in the center of the ring, he ate Chino up...Chino couldn't answer to Floyd boxing him..but once Floyd went to the ropes, Chino was able to set punches, though majority he missed!..he stayed busy, and had a higher work rate..this is where Chino was able to capitalize off perspective!
Even when Floyd stood in front of Chino in the center, Chino wasn't connecting..
Exactly :boxing:

If Floyd snapped out his jab more consistently in those early rounds, it would have stopped alot of Maidana's momentum. I was wondering why he wasnt using it so much. Possibly to avoid Maidana timing it with a big right over the top but i would think floyd would of still been way too fast for that.

Maidana forced him to fight, to the ropes.
He doesn't have the legs anymore to evade that kind of pressure for 12 full rounds without having to either be forced inside or forced to the ropes. Another reason why I said it will be a tough fight.
In his prime, he still went to the ropes too often, he's comfortable there defensively but it's difficult to get the better of the man there.
He get's hit a lot more on the ropes now though at his advanced stage of his career.
Guererro and Canelo aren't pressure fighters so he could afford to do what he wanted with them. Maidana's a whole different fighter style wise.
Who you think won? How did you score it?

What's ironic about this whole thing is, no matter what gloves Maidana wears, he may not touch Mayweather much with them #boxing #theMoment

Molina trying his best to do something but his power is not making Broner step back as he did in the Maidana fight.

Another Broner rd in the books. A lot of pot shots from him in this rd. Molina’s lack of power is the story of the fight here....

Love is definitely doing better this round, but could it be desperation? Love might feel he needs to either earn respect or win the fight quickly before the later rounds, when he'll be too tired to box.
