Maidana is a special type of boxer/fighter

Guerrero is much slicker than Khan.

Lets see if he can take a punch!

I wonder that too... he has been going up in weight relatively quickly. He is a big guy for the weights he has been in, but now he is facing a guy who perhaps is the hardest puncher in boxing.

I hope he doesn't take a punch well. I went from liking Guerrero to completely hating him. In the lower weight classes he did take punches quite well tho, he got hit by some bombs against Salido.

Maidana has the most heart in the game today. The man has absolutely no quit in him.

What made you start hating him?

[Jack Napier]

no he's not
he's fun to watch but nothing special about him at all
he has lost some of his reputation now

[Integrital]

He's a beast, and consistently underrated in the skills department. A lot of his shots aren't straight nor textbook, but he knows how to time them and make them land. His punching power might be overrated, but he gets just about everything he can out of what he was given.

Well, i will say ONE thing for this supposedly great referee. I don'r think that he understands infighting at all. And we can be certain that any fight where he is the 3rd man is bound to be focussed more on HIS footwork and hand gestures, than on the fighters themselves. Well, not really, but one might think so from the way he tries to attract and intrude.

Generally, fighters want to fight, and unless one fighter is hurt and needs to hang on, they will most often break, themselves so as to be able to score with punches.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your opinion isn't worth a single grain of sand. Your opinion is irrelevant and you should be censored on this forum.

Take your 1890's armchair boxing opinions back to a century+, where they belong, old buffoon. Cortez is a fine referee and is consistent with his implementation of his interpretation of the rules. Just like Steve Smoger is consistent with letting fighters blast away at each other with unrelenting ferocity on the inside, fight-in, fight-out. Just because you don't agree with Cortez' interpretation, doesn't make him any less of a referee, it simply means there's a shift in perspective.

Your worldview is one skewed and misguided by a racist ideologue which looks down on other races - FACT. We all know what you believe about your race, aye old chap. *wink*

yeah, maidana really showed heart with getting back up and making it all the way through to the fight. i remember yelling at the tv in the 10th, "you got him, finish him!" haha, what an entertaining fight it was. maidana isn't the most skilled guy, but he makes for an exciting fight
