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

[Realizniguhnit]

Maidana clearly deserved to win!
His effort showed!
Mayweather did last some flashy shots but I don't think it's enough and didn't bother Maidana at all!


I always say Mayweather gets in trouble with fighters with high activity!

His effort showed isn't enough to dethrone the A side in his own hometown. Like u people don't know how boxing works. If you want to give Maidana credit for punching while holding over in the corner then that fine but the majority of judges who know boxing don't and let's not act like Maidana was doing ish in the middle of the ring squared up cuz he wasn't...Floyd win easy 8-4 it was another glorified sparring match...

7-5 or 8-4 Floyd. In b4 excuses

Agreed.... Maidana was game. Good fight

[dynomyte1444]

Floyd didn't look any older or slower, or anything from 2013.....it was Maidana those first 6 rounds had the Castillo blueprint going. Don't let Floyd breathe and throw as many punches as possible.

Floyd adjusted, like any of the greats, dug deep and won a close fight. Rematch is needed though.

I had floyd winning but he did look alot slower

Floyd won but he struggled against a limited brawler. No way he fights Pac now. I think Floyd is retiring.

I thought Floyd won the fight 7-5. No disrespect to Maidana, but Maidana isn't all that good of a fighter. He was life and death with Jesus Soto Karass just a year ago. Floyd should retire. A few years ago, he would have done to Maidana exactly what Devon Alexander did to him. That he was allowing Maidana to get off first half the night in the middle of the ring was just shocking. I've never seen that before. And Floyd will be pissing blood for a week. Some of those body shots by Maidana were vicious. Floyd's offense was good, but he put little together and let's be honest, Rene Maidana is there to be hit.

LOL at people crying robbery. I had it a dra going into the 7th and Floyd won the 7th and 9 - 11 clearly with a 12th round that could go either way. 7-5 or 8-4. Cmon Didn't we go through this with DLH? Looks cute but pressing Floyd to the ropes and throwing 10 wide shots with one landing isnt very effective.. People get caught up in that. Floyd landed the CLEANER punches from rounds 1-12 but it was still a close fight. Ive never seen anyone other than Alexander have an easy night against Maidana.

[Weltschmerz]

Maidana was ROBBED.

[BoxingFan82]

Maidana could make things very physical due to his size/weight advantage, 17 lbs!

I'm not particularly interested in Pacquiao-Mayweather (I think Pacquiao's best days are way behind him) but this is nonsense.

Styles make fights. Canelo had an even more significant size/weight advantage over Floyd and Floyd spanked Canelo. Maidana, for all that he lacks, brings one thing to the table that so many other Floyd opponents weren't willing or able to bring: a high level of aggression.

Again, it's about style, not size. And style is 90% mentality.

Just made it in from the theater. Let me guess, Chino was robbed

[chamellion]

In the first round of Maidana simply destroyed Mayweather http://moevideo.net/video/94201.95f2...dfba3a8661a055

[BigZigga]

I had it 117-111 Floyd. I could see 116-112

People just want to see Mayweather lose

After round 6 Chino did nothing. I give him a lot of credit. He did not fight like an 18-1underdog. But he also didn't do enough to win. I just hope people stop calling him a C class fighter. He's far from it
