You All Are Wrong About Marcos "About Sledgehammers" Maidana

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Mayweather 120-108. Cant wait until this Maidana non sense is over with. He doesnt belong in the same gym as Floyd let alone the same ring.

Its not an excuse its a bona fide fact. What does you sitting ringside have to do with it? Maidana was fat. Even if you dont give him credit for stylistic tweaks, His conditioning and prep has improved miles and miles since before he started training at Oxnard. Dont believe me just watch


on pace to be shredded for May 3rd.

That's all fine and good, but I'm not sold that his conditioning is much better.. It was pretty clear he slowed down in the 2nd half of the broner fight and damn near let broner back into it...he didn't gas vs broner, but def was not the energizer bunny in there as well...

As others say it will be Mayweather winning this 120-108.

Maidana has slow foot speed and throws wide looping punches, Mayweather schools these type of fighters.

Maidana has a 1% punchers chance imo.

All I would like to see is Maidana going balls to the wall and do everything and anything (within the rules) possible to get that ko.

Its much better, man! You can see from the video alone he's already in better shape than when he fought Devon.

Maidana is like one of those old time fighters with too much heart and toughness for his own good so they rely on that too much instead of keeping their conditioning on point.

Against Khan he gassed.. against devon he gassed in like the first two rounds, ans didnt have the energy to WORK out of Devon's clinches. Against broner he tired, but pushed through.. thats the difference. Plus for Broner Maidana had to share Ariza and more importantly Garcia with Rios, who had a fight with Pac. Now Maidana is getting the full attention of both. Watch him flourish. His conditioning against Broner is only half the story, expect even better conditioning this time.

A maidana with A+ conditioning is a BEAST. Fatigue makes brave men cowards and champions into contenders.

If maidana shows up in the best shape of his life and comes out guns blazing then he will give Floyd hell.

What I like about this is maidana is he is a natural Wildman. He is not going to fight out of his element when he is hunting Floyd down and swinging for the fences. Canelo is a better boxer but a boxer is never going to beat Floyd. Guerrero tried to be a Wildman but he is naturally a boxer and he does not have 1/4 the power and intensity of chino. I expect Chino to give Floyd a tougher fight than canelo maybe even cotto.

Good post, I agree. I also think he will show up with margarito-esque conditioning and make it a war.

[sugarsmosley]

all i can hope is that he goes for broke and just straight bumrushes floyd with power shots. that is literally his only chance. just from the opening bell try to close the distance (i said try) and hope to land a flush right hand

I don't think u can train to have margarito type conditioning... To be like margs you have to be nearly invincible plus the mental part of the game to not care at all about the return fire... Margs was a man possessed in his prime... You can't train for that.. U either got it or u don't.. Same way with Aaron Pryor.. That's what makes those guys special..
Maidana is as tough as they come and mentally strong, I just don't think he could pull a margs... Been dropped way too many times
