Jesse Vargas "I dropped maidana in sparring"

[Peter Griffin]

Fans always overrate fighters with POWER because fans (ESPECIALLY CASUAL FANS) think those guys can just go out and Knock ANYBODY OUT...sure they can...BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO LAND WITH THAT POWER...if they can't then they usually end up losing by UD

I like Maidana, he is tough and relentless...but he can be out-boxed...once again I consider him the Arthur Abraham of the 140 Division, if you can avoid his Power...YOU CAN OUT-BOX HIM EASY!

i dont think ive ever seen maidana cover himself like arthur abraham. bad comparison.

I think thread starter is BS

[William Blake]

i'll pay to see maidana fight anyone- win or lose, i love the man's wild ass style

jesse vargas...never seen him fight...however, since he's with 'mayweather promotions', i sure hope he undergrounds random blood testing right up to the day of the fight

[sdcluser]

He says he sparred with him for the Morales fight and he toyed with him, soteam maidana started putting retrictions on what kinda shots he could throw.

He also says Floyd tried to discourage him from sparring with him because he was convincedhe will land a fight with him soon....

Thoughts?

el chino will get stopped often if/when he moves up to WW.

not a bad Comparisons at all, both are probably the hardest and most powerful punchers in their division, both are very slow and robotic but they are RELENTLESS AND THEY CAN turn a fight around with 1 Punch

I think Maidana may have A LITTLE more boxing skills then he does and Abraham has better defense and stamina then he does, but considering how the depend a lot on their POWER...they somewhat similar in style

Not surprised. He has limited boxing ability and he's slow. Maidana is only going to look good against certain guys.

Jesse is a prospect on the come up. He just forced Vivian Harris to quit on his last bout. He's entertaining to watch so keep an eye out for dude.

No i dont see it either if a fighter has good skill levels and can maintain a high workrate then Abraham will hardly ever come out of his shell til the last 2 rounds Maidana is constantly getting hit or throwing punches

[-EAGLE-]

fight him without headgear and big azz gloves punk

I don’t think its a good comparison at all AA has done little to suggest he is the hardest puncher at 168lbs I don’t think AA is ‘relentless’ either in fact I would say he is far from it I mean he rarely lets his hands go at all.

Also for that reason I don’t think he has better stamina either, they fight nothing alike there styles are not similar really the only comparison to be made is AA was the hardest hitter at 160lbs and Maidana is probably the hardest hitter at 140lbs.
