Out-boxing Maidana

[-PBP-]

Khan and Devon used their feet and got off first. They didn't let Maidana get set. Devon got off first and either smothered or wrapped him up. Rinse and repeat.

1. Maidana's a better fighter since he got with Garcia

2. Floyd's well beyond his prime unlike those guys.

Mixture of both.

And Floyd did outbox Maidana in many instances especially the second half of the fight.

Because people here don't really understand boxing. There's a reason mayweather has made numerous roadblocks for the fight to be made. Ill leave you with malignaggi's analysis way back on pac-mayweather.

“Ever since I watch Floyd Mayweather he gives you a defense where he locks up. And a lot of the time obviously it works for Floyd. Floyd is very hard to hit, regardless of the fact. But I always thought that somebody with fast hands – that throws punches in bunches and throws them in flurries – might not land on Floyd – because he locks up so well – he has the ability to leave Floyd there.”


“And what I mean by that is, move your hands, step out, you leave him there. Throw punches, step out. Before you know it, Floyd, if he’s giving you all this, he never gets the chance to get back off. Because you’re in and out. And that costs you rounds. Through the course of Mayweather’s career, he’s always been faster than most of his opponents. But the fast guys that he did fight did show glimpses of it. Oscar showed glimpses of that. Zab Judah showed glimpses of that – that you can do that to Floyd. The problem is you very rarely will hit him clean. So I think these guys get frustrated and get away from that. But in the meantime, what they don’t realize is that they’re probably winning rounds because Floyd is not getting off. Pacquiao doesn’t have to change anything about himself. He fights that way naturally.”

pacquiao on strategy to beat Floyd. go to 4:20. Trust me man Floyd's defensive mentality would work against him against a combination puncher like pac.

nicely put

Styles make fights.

Anybody think that the times Broner managed to out-box Maidana, he did a better job than Floyd?

[TOBYLEE1]

Maidana has improved. Just look how he was jabbing last night and those random punches are not so random.

Floyd could had made this a much more boring fight and decided to stand in front of his guy and back himself at times towards the ropes

[The Problem Child]

Last night was the FIRST time in floyds career he has faced a real MAN. And he lost!! Boxing fans know that he lost last night as you could tell by the reactions in the arena with thunderous boos.

MAYWEATHER GOT OUTBOXED by Maidana. Imagine if Maidana wasn't using sparring gloves. IT WAS ****ING AWESOME TO WATCH LOL!!!!! WAR MAIDANAAAA!!! WE DID ITTTT!!!!!
