Sorry if this has already been posted but this is a nice video on how Maidana used jabs and feints to consistently put Floyd on the ropes.



Sorry Money May, nobodies buying that you made this a brawl 'for the fans' You just came up against educated pressure and struggled (not for the first time).

Personally I scored it 115-114 (one round even) for Mayweather but there were many close rounds. I can see anywhere from 8-4 Mayweather to 7-5 Chino being acceptable, but to be honest I thought Mayweather probably deserved the win. I didnt score when I first watched and thought Mayweather won more comfortably (that what winning championship rounds does i guess) but when i watched and scored I realised just how many of those early rounds Maidana picked up of off pure aggression and workrate. If Chino had elite stamina he would have won that fight imo

Good fight, not sure there will be much difference in a rematch but I'd watch it again. Bailed GBP/Floyd out because September was becoming a tricky date to fill!

Great video. I think this is a great illustration of why Duran would have been so tough for Floyd. Duran was an absolute master of the sort of work Chino is dong here.

'Maidana used jabs' has to be on the list of words a lot of people thought they'd never have to say just a few years ago... I've seen about 1000 variations of 'Maidana' and 'jab' in recent days, and I smile every time.

How about the words 'Maidana feinted Mayweather out of position'

Typical overreaction to one of Mayweathers pitty pot shots.

Two counterd shots? lol. Maidana used his jab magnificently, he tagged Floyd with it, controlled him with it, and was making Floyd miss.

the shostats doesn't reflect the fight, imo. floyd landed eye catching counters as usual but he was missing many punches also. the jab, feints, and defense from maidana bothered him throughout the fight. mayweather was expected to tee off on a tailor made opponent with little defense... that never happened. it wasn't the "toe to toe" fight he had in mind.

Ummm did you watch the fight because that did happen,especially in the last 4 or 5 rounds when Floyd took over and dominated him with counters.
