Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. Hints at Body Battering on Maidana

[LoadedWraps]

Maidana will walk through everything Floyd's got while he's throwing sledgehammers.

KO to the body, right. On his bike potshooting for 12 rounds as always.

Why is everybody complaining now about maidana and don't hype him up .. at least a khan fight would have been more exciting... Khan heart,skills and **** talking would have got on floyd's nerves and we might have seen floyd take a lot of chances due to khans chin. well see how chino fares tho. this fight will likely put freddie roach to sleep the 3rd time watching a mayweather fight. maidana will be a lively dog for three rounds and then mayweather adjusts and throws counters for 9 rounds

I see Mayweather fighting Maidana he fought Baldimir.
Pot shot his way to a UD victory.
Wonder if people will boo again?

[SugaROIDS]

I expect from this fight the same repertory.. Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab, Jab form round 1 through 12

Maidana does get hurt in the body a lot but I doubt Floyd is going to be brave and try to land them. That means getting close

What are you talking about?

Floyd has fought a large amount of his recent fights in the pocket, Guerrero is the only one where I thought he really used his legs which are slowing down. Maidana might give FLoyd problems for 3 rounds with his right hand thats he clubs from a high angle but Floyd will figure it out and beat Maidana comfortably. Mayweather hasn't avoided hitting the body in his recent fights and I expect him to do the same.

Floyds biggest problem would be a guy with length, tall, rangy able to consistently throw jabs and right hands over the top like Hearns, maybe Martinez. The only guy at 154-147 who I see giving him real problems is Lara.

Floyd can do whatever he wants to Maidana
still remember him almost getting stopped in 1 by Khan on a bodyshot
Floyd is quite capable of killing him downstairs or upstairs
sloppy as Maidana is, he tires on his own
mix in some body work and he's ripe to be KO'd

You missed the Gatti & Canelo fight, huh? Not to mention, Floyd has fought a lot harder punchers than Maidana and stood right in front of them.

Yes, he did with nice straight punches and occssional body shots. Not a sustain body attack. I don't tag Floyd as a runner as most ppl do

I mean Floyd having a sustained body attack. He will mixed his punches up but I never seen him just have his plan around attacking the body more. Floyd does land good body punches when he actually goes for it.

Simply is not what Floyd is known for and the more body punches you attempt especially with hooks and uppercuts the closer you have to get.

It'll likely be a combination of pot shotting and body work inside. We tend to forget but Floyd had quite the vicious body attack some time ago. Look for that jab to the body to be a big factor as well. This fight has me thinking this will look like the Gatti or Baldomir fight...

That jab to the body is ****** and guys counter him on it all the time.
