    imagine if Maidana could throw a straight power punch lol.

    Seriously, the guy was throwing a nice straight jab then windmilling haymakers with the right hand all night. How about working in some feints and straight rights and compact left hooks while you have a guy pinned on the ropes.
    He put up a valiant effort but the guys skill level is not great.

    If he threw straighter punches he wouldn't be Chino. And I actually think that helped him in the Mayweather fight. He throws awkward punches, not textbook by any means and that can confuse any boxer trying to anticipate a punch to slip.

        Honestly,it didn't help him land anything either. His aggressiveness pushed May weather into the ropes but those windmill punches missed 8 of 10 times. His body work was good at least.

          Straight punches require space. Which in turn gives your opponent space to get their punches off.

              you haven't seen the lopez and soto karass fights then. he was punishing them with straight right hands and a stiff jab. marcos knows how to throw a variety of punches, there is a method to his madness. broner could not figure out the angles of those looping shots flying over his shoulder but floyd did as the fight progressed, i wish maidana had mixed it up more at that point.

              edit:
              go to 28:15, that's what a maidana straight right looks like.
