Comments Thread For: Mayweather is Tested, Overcomes Maidana To Unify

[4Corners]

Close fight. I had Maidana up 4-2 after six, he was putting in good work. Floyd took over from round 7 on though. Even when Maidana had him on the ropes the 2nd half, he kind of smothered his own work and/or was clinched by Floyd. Meanwhile Floyd was landing counters off the ropes, to the body and head, and controlling most of the rounds from the middle of the ring, or landing those quick left hooks.

115-113. I'd like a rematch though. Maidana gave him the toughest fight since Castillo, hands down. I could see it being a draw if you scored one of the later rounds for Maidana, though Floyd did the much better work still.

People are letting their hate for Floyd cloud their judgement. Floyd landed the better punches the last 6-7 rounds, and took a couple of the early rounds with some sharp counters and smothering Maidana's work.

Floyd will give Maidana a rematch. The only time a decision for Floyd was remotely in jeopardy was Castillo, and he got an immediate rematch.

Mayweather clinch clinch clinch....age is looking closer and closer. Looked sloppy, tired and worried...had it 114-114. Rematch won't happen, he'll find an excuse!!

You *****es crying that he's going to run all night ,and then he sits here trades punches with a 80% KO guy and then people wonder why his fights are boring. Floyd could have won each and every round if he didn't listen to the public.
I saw so many maidana mistake its beyond crazy and a rematch would be a waste of time.

46-0 STILL THE KING.

Am I the only one who didn't think this was close? Floyd did all the clean work throughout.

It wasn't close. I have no idea how the Showtime commentators called the fight but the UK commentators gave Maidana 3 or 4 rounds and I actually thought that was generous.

I guess since Floyd doesn't have an opponent for September, they had to give the impression that this was close.

How was Maidana robbed when Floyd landed more punches? Floyd clearly landed the cleanr punches. Floyd was the better fighter from round 4 on.

By this logic Castillo won against Mayweather because he landed more punches.

I agree with the other post How can you say Maidana Won but Cotto didn't when Cotto had the cleaner work and actually bust Mayewather nose with PUNCHES AND NOT HIS HEAD


I know some are desperate to see Mayweather but lets be real here

lol no man the cotto fight wasn't even close

There seems to be a consensus around the net that it was basically a draw. I could see Either fighter winning by 1-2 rounds.

That 117-111 crap... Classic boxing

[badass316]

Close fight. Maidana landed some good shots in that fight, especially to the body. If there is a rematch I'd like to see Maidana get to use his actual gloves not extra padded BS.

Lol Floyd has been EXPOSED.
