Comments Thread For: Mayweather Warns: Rematch Would Be Totally Different!

[tank17211]

Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s 46th victory didn’t come easy as hard hitting Marcos “Chino” Maidana put on an immense amount of pressure and made it a rough fight. Despite the physical nature of the fight, Mayweather was able to adapt and came out on top as he was awarded a majority decision victory.

The reigning pound for pound king had promised he would not move and stay in front of Maidana and was forced to deal with the relentlessness Maidana is known to bring. Many are already calling for a rematch and Mayweather assures if they do fight a second time, things will be a lot different.

Floyd didnt have a choice Maidana was bullying him to the ropes.

The more i watch the fight, the more punches Maidana misses, 117- 111 is looking more accurate right now. Floyd washed him at his own game . Floyd is about to cash in on dumb fans and triple what he made on a pointless worthless rematch. Lol people actually think maidana won. I had it 115-113 on fight night, but now its wider maidana did NOT win.

I agree. I dont believe Floyd willingly did a Tim Bradley. The guy is just too safety first. Its just a **** excuse he came up with to save face.The reality is Maidana walked through his punches like I said he would and punished his defensive shell on the ropes. Floyd couldnt dance around because Maidana wouldnt let him. A rematch goes much the same. But.. time is on Maidana's side. He comes to a rematch in even better shape coming out of a longer training camp and 2 1/2 total camps with Ariza. Meanwhile Floyd trained as well as he can for Maidana.. I dont see Floyd coming to a rematch in any better condition... but I can definitely see Maidana doing that.

Add in the glove element and I could actually see Maidana doing BETTER... not worse.

Both guys provided what was an exciting competitive fight. Don't know why Mayweather is saying Chino knows he lost, using the 12th round as proof (although I actually scored the 12th round for Maidana). If Floyd is saying Chino took his foot off the gas in the 12th - fighters do that when they think they've won.

I scored the fight 114-114. I felt like Chino won 4/5 of the first 5 rounds, and Mayweather performed better once he had time to feel Maidana out. I still gave Maidana one other mid/late round (can't remember which) and the 12th, making it 114-114 from my perspective.

I think a rematch is warranted.

Totally different? How so? You'll force Maidana to fight with his feet tied together? Health n Safety first. What a warning - like ***** trying to warn *****.

[Lords]

You people are serious considering a rematch? Floyd only has so many fights left till he retires and you want him to waste one on fighting Maidana again?

[kingfaze19]

Of course he walked through his punches at 165 pounds...on the ropes Maidana was dirty and missing, Floyd would box his ears off in a rematch, in the middle of the ring Maidana got smoked and he had no answer for the lead right, u people seriously calling for a rematch lmaoo. get ready for floyd - guerrero 2.

Floyd swept 10, 11 and 12 .. Man what are you people looking at, Maidana did nothing those three rounds, Floyd boxed his socks off. No way he won. Putting somebody on the ropes doesnt score points, missing with wild swings doesnt score points, picking the aggressor apart with sharp counter does score points.

Floyd always says he "chose" to fight that way when he's in a tough fight. Maidana imposed his will on Floyd and forced him to fight that way. Floyd clearly won, but he didn't opt to stand in the pocket.

As for a rematch, I don't think it would be much different. Maidana might be a lil more confident and Floyd will be a lil older. That fight Sat had Jones-Tarver I feel to me. P4P King for the first time showing that his best days are clearly behind him. And that his reign on top is gonna end sooner rather than later. Is Maidana the man to end the reign? Not sure. If he wants to do a rematch with Chino, fine. I don't see the point. But I thought Floyd clearly won. If Floyd wants to erase all doubt, fair enough. But after that, he needs to come down off his high horse and get the Pacquiao fight done. With him showing vulnerability the other night, the Pacquiao fight is once again intriguing. Plus, stylistically Manny will be a lil easier for Floyd to deal with than a couple young lions like Porter and Thurman. I would actually pick Porter to beat a Floyd. Gotta see Thurman in with some better fighters before making a judgement on him.
