LOL @1:03 Chino low blowed right in front of the refs face thats crazy, Chino really had that attitude of IDGF.

I get it, you can't complain about Maidana's dirty fighting but you can complain all day about a request to change gloves and how the judges scored the fight...

This was one of the most dirty fights Ive ever witnessed and I watch all the fights more then once, this guy was trying to maul Floyd, knee, hitting on the break, all those clubbing punches behind the head, Floyd is lucky none of those did not floor him, I was impressed with the fact that for the most part, he stayed composed...

Whats really ****ed up to me, Garcia said countless times on all access, Chino needs to fight dirty, so he had intent and from the last 2 fights, Floyd got 114-114 witch tells me someone is investing in im losing...

One thing I notice, Floyd dont react well to cuts, he was acting strange for 2 full rounds, seemed like he wanted to quit...

Also if you look at the pre fight mitt work, Floyd put zero force and turned south pah for a few, Paulie caught that and said he only recalls Floyd doing that wen he hurt his hand...


If i was Floyd I would never do business with anyone from Garcia's camp, from the shady gloves to all the dirty stuff, these people dont deserve ****, bunch of cheaters!!!

That's a hell of an eye by Paulie.

great post, maidaina was lame throughout the fight..people giving him credit because he's latino..

It doesn't have anything to do with race. These ass clowns on here just hate Floyd. I mean, absolutely nobody inside of boxing thinks Maidana won. Yet these f.ucktards filled 50+ pages the night of the fight screaming' robbery. These folks around here are lamer than lame. I mean, you got a muf.ucka that calls himself "Thuggery" that runs to the admins snitchin' and reporting post

Is an attempted foul something you can get penalized for? I don't know the answer to that but I doubt it. In football if you attempted a late hit on the quarterback but missed, you wouldn't get penalized. I assume the same is true in boxing--that if you try to foul but fail you aren't penalized. Maybe that explains why the knee wasn't called.

Yes, it is totally something you can get penalized for. An attempted foul, whether failed or successful, warrants a penalty or at least a warning. The knee didn't even receive a warning, when really it deserved a point deduction.

And it wasn't just knees that received no penalty, but also low blows and a host of other things. Like this...

Unfortunately i can't name the fight off the top of my head but there was a match when a fighter got penalized for attempting to headbut but missed. Certain blatant attempts at fouls warrant a penalty.

Botha sides had their fair share of dirty tactics but Maidana was the main offender.

It was def fun to watch though.

Floyd turned southpaw against Cotto.
