Comments Thread For: Garcia: Maidana Has Perfect Style To Upset Mayweather

[TRTboy]

I agree with Garcia. Maidana's style is going to give mayweather problems.

[killamoneymike]

No he doesn't. If anything he has a similar style to other guys May has beaten with the least effort. I will be rooting for Maidana but he has maybe a 1/10 chance because of the horrible style matchup.

Someone like Khan has the right style to beat Mayweather but Khan himself is too flaky and gets too anxious/excited when he's doing good.

You just hit the nail on the head about khan. I'd say that's his biggest problem worse than his chin.

No he doesnt if he did have the style to beat mayweather he would not be fighting him.Just look at him never fighting Pac,Now he has the style to beat mayweather, the only fighter that will give Mayweather problems are an elite ,ELITE lefty not a ****ty one. or its going to at least take a right hander whom is a converted lefty like JLC or Cotto or Delahoya, and JLC really beat mayweather in their first fight. Mayweather doesnt fight guys that have the style to beat him that's the damned truth.

Apart from having no jab, slow feet, slow hands, and poor stamina I think he might be right.

Trainer Robert Garcia is confident that his fighter, WBA welterweight champion Marcos 'Chino' Maidana, has the perfect style to score an upset victory over heavily favored WBC champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 3rd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Garcia says Maidana possesses a style that Mayweather has never gone up against in the past and he feels the undefeated boxer will experience difficulties in dealing with Maidana's awkward punching style.

Garcia is spot on. That's exactly what many boxing fans don't understand: It's about stylistic mispatches more than who is better than who. Spot freaking on.

And that's a huge part of why I think it will be an all out war, and Floyds biggest threat.

[LoadedWraps]

pressure, pressure, pressure, yea floyd's never seen that style.

That's not a style, it's just pressuring a fighter. How about you display some actual boxing knowledge? There are many, many forms of pressuring an opponent, genius.

[radiotracer]

I agree with Garcia. Maidana's style is going to give mayweather problems.

wishful thinking. Floyd has defeated much better fighters.

[megadeth]

He was wrong about Duran/Leonard though. Duran beat Leonard not because of his style, but because Ray fought the first fight with his balls and not his brain.

[Flabble Scrote]

No ****, floyds bigger and better, the point is maidana outsmarted broner and showed a new side, I think khan on his best form would be a decent fight for mayweather but it will be interesting to see if maidana and garcia have something cooked up, on past form youd say this is a shutout for mayweather

[Convicted_Felon]

Throwing overhand rights (with his head down) will get Maidana slipped and countered with a sweet ass uppercut and a good good body shot. Maidana has the style to get his butt kicked by a brilliant fighter. Easily too.
