For a boxing genius...I'm not too sure why Mayweather elected to lean on the ropes and trade with this awkward dirty brawler. When we all know Maidana can not fight going backwards for the life of him. Mayweather walked him down a majority of the second half of this fight as if he couldn't do that the whole time? Come on now. You idiots are going to feed in to this crap and have him get another 32 million. All he has to do is make sure the next referee breaks them up the moment Maidana moves forward. You guys can fall for the hype all you want. Nice bait the swarm and beat a winded man tactic. Maidana will never have the stamina to succeed with this game plan. If you want chino to get knocked the **** out then go ahead and start co signing this rematch. Counter punchers learn from previous fights. He will know which punches to sit on and already know what is coming back. This was Maidana only chance to win and it didn't happen. It is what it is. Let it go. Go destroy Broner again please lol.

Floyd was the only one that landed any decent punches, and deserved the win by a very narrow margin. madaina doesn't have anything else if a rematch was to take placeComment

Maidana used the Everlast Protech......made of pure foam.........the gloves that virtually gave CletoReyes a lock on fighters below MW.Originally posted by MDPopescu View Post
In 2009, they developed an answer to the 'puncher's glove' with the Everlast MX aka MXican made in Mexico, similar to the old school Everlast and closer to the Reyes. They didn't let Maidana use those despite the commission approved a pair of Red MX but not the Blue. Who knows what payoff he got to wear the padded gloves, but I doubt he'll agree again.
The MX are a mix of horse hair and foam. They aren't Reyes but feel like rocks compared to the ones he wore tonight. They are the single biggest reason for Everlast making a comeback in the smaller weights.
I don't think Maidana won. I thought he did everything he had available and came damn close. Mayweather was great too but if ever there was a fight where he should have stepped on the gas and knocked an opponent out, this was it. Maidana was shot after 8........one reason why I personally will not consider Mayweather 'TBE'........he doesn't have to knock everyone out, but this wasn't a 10-2 11-1 fight where it would have been best to stay safe. He should have finished it. The check hook was laser-beamed in early. He could have finished that fight with that shot but didn't throw it as much late. Even if no KO......he could have got the KD, which would have made it much clearer.
Guys I watched with were so excited by Maidana's activity they thought I was crazy saying Mayweather landed the cleaner, harder shots. But both guys will be sore.
Mayweather appeared a bit over-trained. A little sluggish at times and definitely not like he was in his recent fights where he barely lost a minute in a couple rounds........
Maidana was the toughest fight of Floyd's career. Yes I've seen them all....... Castillo was tough but not 828 punches thrown tough. Mayweather landed the same number with half the amount thrown. It could have gone to Maidana if he's have had the right draw on judges........I think it was even after six but Floyd won 5 of the last six.
But I still will take a rematch over Khan any day.......

How original of you taking a line from Floyd after him commenting on Bradley and Pac both looking like amateurs....Originally posted by handsome1-1 View Post
You're clearly of 'that special short bus' type of Pac fan.......nothing new here. Continue to show you know NOTHING about how fights are scored....
