Originally posted by aaron.king View PostYes, actually. I never said that I thought Maidana necessarily won the fight or that Maidana landed a bunch of clean scoring blows. But Mayweather took a pounding all over his body last night, including dozens and dozens of non-scoring punches to the back of the head, the kidneys, and his ballsack. If he were 31, I'd say it was a non-issue. But given the slight degradation in his physical tools in the past several years (which is only natural) and the fact that he's pushing 40, he may have a harder time than usual bouncing back from all those shots to the sack and back of the head.
mayweather is 37...

Originally posted by aaron.king View PostYeah ... fair enough. Still, a 37-year-old taking sustained body punishment like that is more likely to show a few lasting effects. He's been in tough a couple of times now, and maybe at his age, it starts showing up.

Originally posted by The Raw Dog View PostI'm not talking about his speech, I'm talking about his ability to be cognizant of how the fight will be perceived, what he intended to accomplish in the fight, and his overall summarization of the event. Floyd didn't take a lot of punishment in that fight, it was a easy fight to score.
I'm still not sure what you're point is regarding his comments at the press conference.

Originally posted by aaron.king View PostThose are two different things, which is entirely my point. Even if we all agree that Floyd got the rightful decision, you can't deny that Floyd took a lot more punishment than he ever has before. Those thudding shots that land but don't score or land but are partially blocked, after 12 rounds, they add up -- especially for a 37-year-old body.
