Just To Be Clear. Alexander Didn't Outbox Maidana...

[shenmue]

I have to disagree..Broner started to get into a grove and come back on Maidana before the 2end KD..I had it 8-4 Maidana..Of course Maidana won rds big,that does not mean Broner won no rds..Not to mention most rds were close and then Maidana would land a very telling shot that would swing the rd in his favor..Anyway we are getting off track..

Lopez Broner Karass..You wanna know what all these fighters had in common??They all stood directly in front of Maidana..If you stand in front of Maidana,yes he can make things difficult..No doubt..Do you know what every fighter who beat Maidana have in common??They move and do not stand in front of him..Simple bro,movement is a solid weapon against Maidana..It also allows you to see everything from him coming..

There was a thread which ask why was Maidana not able to KO Khan if Garcia was able to..Now I understand Khan did fight Garcia a bit differently then he fought Maidana..Yet the reason is,because Khan seen everything coming..When you show Maidana movement his punches are not hard to see..Not to metnion his feet are very slow..

I'm not knocking Maidana for taking this fight..Yet there is no question bro,Mayweather Maidana is a mismatch..Alexander did outbox Maidana..

I honestly believe after watching both fights numerous times if Khan had fought Maidana the same way he id Garcia, he would have got dropped and stopped within 6 rounds, he showed Garcia power no respect, trading with him in the middle of the ring, MAidana caught him while he was by the ropes running, you can see the ropes actually keep Khan from dropping.

On to Maidana, yes he struggles with movement, to have any chance vs Floyd he will need to **** of the ring better than he has ever done, he has to get him on the ropes like cotto did, MAidana can do damage on the ropes IMO.

The mismatch thing keeps getting mentioned and Floyd might make it look that way, Canelo, JMM, RG all ended up being mismatches but i see MAidana causing Floyd problems with his aggression and tactics of not trying to outbox Floyd, it might not work and i'll look foolish post fight but i believe Maidana will have some success, enough to win we shall see but i think he gives Floyd a decent fight, better than those 3 i mentioned.

What annoys me Rome, is i do admire your posts and predictions but hope you have this one badly wrong, i think you tipped Broner to beat Maidana and Brad to beat Pacman?, so there's hope ha. (Yes broner is **** compared to Floyd, i know ha)

I picked Broner to beat Maidana..I also said that if Broner does not move his feet he will lose..I also did pick Bradley to beat Pac,1-1 not bad..I hope I'm wrong to,cause like you I'll most likely be ordering this fight..I don't have high hopes for it tho..May is just a different animal..I do think Maidana mentality is the one ya have to use on Mayweather(all out aggression,to hell with trying to win a boxing match)yet I see Maidana being to slow to effectively do it..Like ya said,I might be wrong..All we can hope for is a good fight..

All fair points Rome, remember though Maidana does usually land even though he is "slow" so i hope for the best and yes i hope for an entertaining fight. Recent Floyd fights have ended up being a bit low key after the first bell. I want some excitement and its partly why i'm wanting Maidana to do well as i actually like Floyd but Maidana doing well we make this exciting i feel.

Devon put that midwest skills on Maidana, lets be real whenever some clinches you over 100 times that takes hard work and dedication.

Indeed, and by the 10th time he did that he should have lost a point, by the 20th he should have gotten DQ for wrestling in a boxing match. But we all know how that goes. But yes, when anyone says a clincher that has the favor of the ref. "outboxes" anyone, I just go

Just To Be Clear. Alexander Didn't Outbox Maidana. So quit saying it.

Yes, he did. He got dominated, outboxed, manhandled and shut out.

[Weebler I]

So quit saying it.

This guy gets it.

Does it matter, are we going to act like Floyd isn't going to do the same thing?

He'll clinch the hell out of him, won't attempt to fight out of the clinch and not get a single warning.

As unbearable that fight was to watch, the ref didn't do anything to dissuade alexander from using that tactic. It worked really well for him. He dominated that fight and made Maidana look like a scrub.

[punchr]

So quit saying it.

I'm a Maidana fan, but Alexander used his feet good, hugged like girl, and fought back when he was forced to.

I hate the type of boxing Alexander did. It's very upsetting. When a fighter gets too good at boxing, like Mayweather, the fights are boring. The guys need to be just under that level for the matches to be epic. Maidana is perfect. Castillo-Corrales, Gatti-Ward, Rios-Alvarado.

[sugarsmosley]

people are actually picking maidana to win?

[RowdyMind]

Maidana got swept in that fight, and he hasn't improved much
