Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[01samuelc]

yupp watched it again 7-5 chino and 11 could have gone either way but I gave it to Floyd to be nice lol 8-4 maidana could be the case

I scored it a draw because i gave the 11th to maidana but i wouldn't disagree with 7-5 to mayweather if you gave him that round. The 11th was tough to score because mayweather dominated early but maidana was very consistent throughout the round. I think he figured floyd out in the 12th though.

Watched the fight again:

My scorecard:

R1: 10-9 Maidana (clear round)
R2: 10-9 Maidana
R3: 10-9 Maidana (close round)
R4: 10-9 Maidana
R5: 10-9 Maidana (clear round)
R6: 10-9 Mayweather (clear round)
R7: 10-9 Mayweather (clear round)
R8: 10-9 Maidana (clear round)
R9: 10-9 Mayweather (clear round)
R10: 10-9 Mayweather (clear round)
R11: 10-10 50/50 round (close round)
R12: 10-9 Maidana

116-113 w/the 10-10 round or 115-113 if I give the eleventh to Floyd/or 116-112 to Maidana. Like I said, rounds 3 and 11 were close and can be flipped, perhaps 114-114 if we give Floyd the two close rounds. Rounds 2 and 4 I thought Maidana definitely won but not as clearly as the 'clear rounds' in bold. I could see it as 115-113 Mayweather but it just seems more feasible to score it 115-113 Maidana.

Maidana seemed to dictate the pace throughout most of the fight and landed many right hands and left-hooks throughout--the body work was impressive too, Mayweather only seemed to land good punches in spots and they were few and far between outside of the rounds he won clearly.

this is the reality of the fight.

First 5 rounds was Maidana's. he was the aggressors and had the ring generalship.

Easy to pick 2 more rounds for Maidana after the 5th.

I am seeing Pacquiao and Margarito's names being thrown around, as if they are Marcos Maidana.

This is about as bad as Calzaghe fans claiming every Hopkins win enhances Calzaghe's legacy. Why are Margarito and Pacquiao getting credit for Maidana's effort?

First, Pacquiao fights absolutely nothing like Maidana, a swarmer who throws punches even to the back of the head and is very sloppy, is his own good way. He is sloppy, but in a way that benefits him, but still sloppy. 140-147 Pacquiao is not a sloppy guy, and although he throws punches from different angles, he does not throw rabid punches and rams his head into his opponents face. Pac is also no where near being an inside fighter, like Maidana likes to do, he likes to smother his opponent, grab one of their arm and hit you with hooks to the back and side of your head with his free hand. If you grab Pac, he will stare at the ref to come and break it up.

Margarito was humiliated by Shane Mosley, lost to Santos and Williams. I don't even know why he is in the discussion. Oooooh Margarito beat a prime undefeated Kermit Cintron and Joshua Clottey, two hall of famers that proved why Margarito was one of the greatest welterweights who ever lived.

Exactly. Styles make fights. They're very hypocrite. They always play the "Floyd doesn't fight like Marquez" card when it suits their agenda, but whenever Floyd had a tough fight against a tough inside fighter, they're the first to get carried away and use the "Manny is faster, punches harder, more relentless pressure fighter" card.

They don't attack the same way when they have their opponents against the ropes. Manny has an easier attacking rhythm and pattern to predict when he has his opponent on the ropes. He'll take a step forward and backward, and then throw straight punches and then do it again when he has his opponents against the ropes, but he gives his opponents enough space to set up their counter shots. If you have good timing and reaction time, then you can timed and offset him on the way in.

It's totally different to the way Maidana attack his opponents and carries over with all of his weight and just maul them on the inside with looping overhand punches all over the top of their head and he's more rugged and harder to push off and create counter-punching space against because he leans in with his head on his opponent's chest and smoother/out-muscle them until they can tie him up for the ref to break it up.

I hate when fans try to make Manny something that he isn't to fit their agenda, then get mad when other people use it against them by comparing other fighters who have beaten and gave him in tough fights in the past to Floyd. Manny is a mid-range pressure fighter, he's not a rough inside pressure fighter where he give his opponent/s little to no choice but to fight on the inside against the ropes. Manny always want to fight on the outside and at mid-range and doesn't fight dirty. Styles make fights. Manny is an aggressive fighter, but he brings a totally different type of aggression that wouldn't consistently work against Floyd. Apples and oranges.

A true fan that understands what really happened that night.

The actor says:

Floyd got bullied. Maidana hit tons of body shots.

First 4-5 rounds was Maidana's.

I don't know man, you can't win a fight with this guy (Floyd)

Floyd got bullied. People were quiet in the front row.

[Pigeons]

I read the comments these children make and it makes me sad that I have wasted so much on this forum over the years. Children without jobs or girlfriends. Tear.

[-=Shade=-]

Well, I know what I saw (about 7-5 for Chino with my eyes) in a great, close, fight. I'm logging out for a few days just to let things settle down around here, and because I have stuff to do.

My last word is, "Clean punching, when roughly tied in number of landed punches, that fails to produce effective aggression, and fails to facilitate ring generalship, is worth less than hard volume punching that bullies the other guy, produces effective aggression, and allows for ring generalship." Round after round that's my bottom line in this fight.

[LoadedWraps]

Wow these everlast pillows are even bigger that Floyds Grants.

O_o................

maidana landing straight HAMMERS OF GOD from above jesus christ almighty i never seen such shots. are they even legal? mayweather getting annihilated

Maidana, please don't gas. Please don't gas.

1-0 Maidana

Chino punches from the sky HAHAHAHA

Chino has done more in 1 round than Canelo did in 12.

dumbass get off the ropes the HAMMERFIST OF THOR is awaiting you

Maidana 3 _0

Maidana 3-0 quite clearly

3-1 floyd.......

Floyds wants to beat Khan's holding record of the night, too bad he's doing it without throwing combos like Khan did.

HAHAHAHA "I can't see" Excuses coming already!

Mayweather will never have a point taken off. Weeks needs to grow some

O_o.;;;;;;;;;

please someone pm with a link, i feel like I'm really missing out on a great fight

I think Chino is doing enough to win rounds, wonder if the judges see it the same.

Fúcking incredible man.

Floyd should have had a point taken for all this holding. He's fighting like a gay!

This is just like Mayweather / Castillo I.

If Mayweather loses another round or two he will arguably need a KO to win

"Sit down and dig up underneath" - Floyd Sr.

Woahh, floyds in deep trouble.

Keep ducking, we see now why he ducked the prime volume punchers, he cant handle 100 punches in a single round

Rekindled what JLC did..Garcia is brilliant!

link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIVE ME A LINK!

Even fight or 4-2 Maidana so far

...... I can't believe this. Wow.

Maidana is gonna get robbed

Goddamn maidana punches sound mean af. I have no doubt Floyd will never be the same after this

5-3 for Maidana.

I must be blind forreal

Pretty even through round 10. Championship rounds coming up, whoever wins them wins the fight.

I had it 2-2 after 4, my internet has crashed and will not let me view streams from xmeforums or anywhere else. I swear I'm so ****ing pissed right now. Tomorrow I'm going to a payphone and calling the FBI on xme and getting them shut down for good. Pieceis of **** ****ed me over twice in a row.

Whoever have Mayweather winning is a nuthugger. Maidana clearly won this fight

And more gold. What a great night of boxing.

[Spoon23]

Story of the night. These vicious body shot Maidana through all through out the 12 rounds. Bringing the pain is saying it lightly. OUCHY!



Those hooks can bring a bull down.
