All Access: Mayweather vs. Maidana - Episode 1

[MindBat]

I would be satisfied if Maidana performs better than most expect him to. I also think Maidana's rangey awkward punches allow for him to be a danger in the middle of the ring as well as on the ropes. Its really about whether Floyd fights more flatfooted, as he did against certain fighters, or whether he will get on his bike potshotting early. From what little I can gather, he said Maidana "outhustled" Broner as if that was the mistake that needed to be rectified. As a result I think Floyd has in his mind to throw alot of punches to win rounds...to walk chino down in a more flatfooted fashion perhaps, as he did against Ortiz.. Mosley.. and other "big punchers". And like I said that could give wings to Chino's awkward range in the middle of the ring.

Id be satisfied with an 8-4 fight though.



I have never made such comments about any other fight.

Canelo I felt was too green. A kid that would get outfoxed. The first outfoxing move was a damn catchweight.

Cotto was too war torn.. wouldnt have endurance against counters because of a "stopped man's" mindset.

Guerrero betrayed himself and his inferior mindset with his overly sanctimonious uttering. He's david.. so Floyd is Goliath? A giant eh?.. thats a man who lost before he even set foot in the ring.

Ortiz I chalked up as not able to endure adversity enough to overcome Floyd.

Mosley Sounded good at first till I saw how he was training for the fight and I heard his trainer talk.. effectively making Mosley mentally apprehensive of what May will become when you clock him. A dragon, indeed!

Marquez too small and bad style matchup.

that covers his recent fights and what I thought leading up to each one

The clue to me is in the promotion. They are treating Maidana as tba. Floyd is exec producer or whatever and has a hand in treating Maidana as tba in promotion. They marketed Ghosts dumbass better. Part of it is Maidana's no nonsense demeanor as well... just begs someone to overlook him.



Broner is a gifted athlete as well... its his craft and intangibles that failed him.

Floyd usually has a great mindset.. has sharp craft.. and is in tip top shape.. little nuances I see suggest he's batting with 2 out of three of those for this fight.

there is an inherent element of underestimation in the very concept of giving someone the benefit of the doubt..he needs to be prepared for the possibility of his trickery not working as well this time. He needs to be ready for a war of attrition. I think his gilded halls will eventually corrupt him. Hes not soft of form or technique.. but his spirit is getting a little softer.. I feel. That which makes him a fighter and not just a boxer with nice tricks. If hes taken to the wire how will he respond. No one has taken him to the wire in a hot minute.. Mosley tried but then mentally folded.



The promotion (or lack therof) of Maidana, which Floyd has a hand in, suggests otherwise.

I think most level headed fans agree Chino is not consistent with his conditioning and development of craft throughout his career. Thats what keeps the man from p4p because he certainly has the fight and power for it. But I believe from what Ive seen of his training that Floyd is getting the best version of Chino. A beast that will be a challenge of will and heart for all 12 rounds. He's going to leave everything in the ring. Everything. Will Floyd? Can he? Can he even muster that anymore? Or have his gilded halls and spoils of war dulled his edge.... without anyone even realizing?

I think given his unique training background, experience, and being pretty much an insider of the sport via his fams, Floyd's edge has been thinking two or three steps ahead of his opponents' moves.

I wouldn't put it past him to re-watch his own fights to review what he can and can't improve for the next go-round. Then again, his approach could be the total opposite.

Man watchin the lil kids spar is always a treat. At the gym I went to these two lil mexican kids came in everyday with their dads.. lil monsters.

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

he was with his kids, he had 2 kids fight and gave them each 100 bucks, he talked about broner, he talked about that ho ms jackson.... i dont understand

[RubenSonny]

No I disagree there.

Floyd clearly respects Maidana.

He's known about Maidana since the Ortiz fight because he spoke about it in the Ortiz build up.

He's taking him very seriously as he does every fighter.

Someone said something about Maidana being a vagina and Floyd rebuked them immediately. He definitely respects him.

[KingTito]

Floyd isn't interesting and really awkward.

[milkroot]

Trust me , I'm pretty sure Floyd is taking Maidana very seriously.

You get it.

[Da Machine]

Honestly, I don't think he is taking Maidana seriously at all. Something seems off to me, like he's going out of his way to make people think he respects him.

I think he's probably training as hard as he usually does, because that's just Floyd, but as far as his mentality going into the fight. I don't see it. I think he's slipping on Maidana mentally.

[milkroot]

There's always some type of awkwardness when Floyd is around women. lol. The girl says she only sleeps in underwear's, instead of saying some fly smooth shit he goes on talking about bra's and male tights. smh lol.

Haha.. yea, that was cringe-worthy. Especially when he started talking about old man balls. Truly Cringe-worthy.

Also, I like how the All-Access writers kinda took a shot at Floyd in the open. They said something about him finally getting a "proper antagonist" in Maidana..

y'all know what the gay point of this episode? it's when out of the freakin topic he asked one of the hood rat what she wears when she sleeps. i was like "hmmm ok this ain't part of boxing but whatever some after dark series gonna go down maybe" now as soon as the hood rat started telling her shyt that she don't wear bras just her undies Mayweather then cuts it off by talking about men be wearing briefs and yaps about big loose balls. i mean wtf? why gotta cut it off with shyt like that? let the bytch talk about her nastiness.

Why are you guys hating?

Mayweather was implying that a woman should also wear a bra when she sleeps; otherwise her tits will sag when she's older. Hence, the anecdotal story of an old man's balls sagging like a bungee cord. But it is kind of gay. My boy Mayweather was checking out some old man's sack, lol.

[dc3383]

Personally I don't think Floyd is underestimating Maidana; I do think he's getting fatigued of boxing and he said it himself. So maybe Maidana is catching Floyd at the right time. I do know Floyd hates to lose so I think he will be as close to his best as possible.

90 cars from one dealership alone?

Floyd is going to be broke as **** in retirement. Sad, sad, sad.
