Comments Thread For: Referee Admits: I Was Very Close To Penalizing Maidana

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...

A love supreme.

I prefer refs that stay out of it. It's a damn fight, let them go at it.

Unfortunately he may never get to work a major fight in Vegas for a long time. And in the rematch we will get a ref who is over involved.

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

Great post, tells it like it is.

honestly, maidana was very tame in this fight, he's usually alot worse(look at that headbutt thing he did to broner)

against floyd he for the most part was fairly clean besides the rabbit punches in the first rd(first, maybe second, only rd's he really threw any rabbit shots)

he lowblowed floyd the first time for not letting go of him(kind of like canelo popped floyd on the leg, for the same thing), the second time he lowblowed floyd, it was in retaliation to a lowblow from floyd

and alot of the times that he threw to the leg was again when floyd was holding his head down, basically, maidana was there to fight, and he didn't want to be held or have his head pulled down

and although that pulling the head down, clinching someone seems to be more accepted, it's still illegal, that along with an elbow to your throat that floyd uses to then pop you with a right hand, it's hard not to be frustrated by dirty tactics like that and be a little dirty yourself, and that's just in general

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

Hall of Fame referee Tony Weeks has spoken for the first time since his handling of the Floyd Mayweather WBC/ WBA welterweight title unification clash against Argentinian slugger Marcos Maidana at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada last weekend.

The veteran referee took a lot of flak from fans some arguing that he allowed Maidana to get away with too much rough-house tactics in his gusty majority defeat by the pound for pound star.

What a ****! Guess he loved floyds grab and elbow style!

Maidana got away with some horrendous stuff but I didn't think much of it because Floyd is usually pretty gritty himself. I think Tony accounted for that going in and decided to let them get a little dirty.

[Carpe Diem]

I've realize there's nothing people won't rationalize when it comes to Floyd. Anything goes. And folks here will justify it. Like I keep saying, this forum would have had to be shutdown completely if the roles were reversed. But it's okay. 46-0 regardless and I know it makes the haters mad. Get mad.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Its funny how Floyds fans are trying to turn Tony Weeks heavily Mayweather biased performance, into him favoring Marcos.

The man followed every instruction floyd gave him, broke when floyd told him to break them, wouldn't let Marcos stay inside with a free arm and work out of the clench, let Floyd get away with all manner of dirty tactics such as lacing Maidana, elbows, forearms, lowblows, and holding, and somehow its Maidana that got the benefit.

[Brandish]

Not really and that's a very ignorant thing to say. The only reason he got the benefit of the doubt is simply because he was up against boxing's current biggest villain. If it were against any other fighter, people would've called him a dirty fighter[The Weeble, Hugh Grant, etc], but since it was against Floyd, he got more praised than criticism.

no it's not. you are 100% wrong..maidana fought like a caveman...multiple rabbit punches in the first three rounds you probably scored as a legit punch..because your latino..
