    He rarely, if at all, blocked the jabs to the body. Maidana holding his guard up won't block it either. It's one of Floyd's most underrated weapons.
    lol@blocked......a simple jab to the body alone stopped maidana's momentum.

      Are we seriously counting Jabs to the body as effective shots to justify the de****able lopsided scoring by the judges?

        Apparently it didn't work well enough because Maidana was chasing and pushing Floyd from pillar to post.

          Not in the 2nd half of the fight... If Maidana did like you say he did, how did he get outlanded by Floyd...

            lol.....notice you said "pushing and chasing" but not landing punches. cause we all know he wasn't. "pushing and chasing" don't win fights.

                      Maidana chased Floyd to the ropes and did most of the work on the ropes, going to the body viciously and sneaking in occasional headshots.

                      You keep saying Maidana wasn't landing, but was Floyd? He landed less than Maidana. What exactly did Floyd land besides 2-3 pull counters, a few jabs to the body, and 1-2 uppercuts?

                      Maidana landed more jabs to the face than Floyd, landed as much jabs to the body, landed far more bodyshots, and just as many headshots if not more. Hell Maidana landed more headshots in the 1st round than Mayweather did in the entire fight with those wimpy pull counters.
