I lost all respect for Maidana and Robert Garcia

[A-Wolf]

Ha they earned my respect. Just the opposite. This isn't a beauty contest. If somebody was elbowing me in the face I would stomp on his nuts. ****ing prick.

He lost your respect when he wasn't born black.

That muy Thai knee though.

So what do you call floyds low blow that preceded the attempted knee?

If u are talking about gifs...wtf are u looking at? Where did Floyd hit him in nuts?

Jesus Christ man watch the gif it's LITERALLY right there

That punch could have landed on the belt...u cant see where his fist landed. Different angle would help.....ur assuming like the other two.

Those who know, know. You have to be someone that has actually thrown a punch and knows body mechanics as they pertain to each shot be it a jab, right hand, hook... or in this case, an uppercut.

the arc of the punch was low. And Maidana's reaction, a slight shift of his lead foot back around the impact area clearly suggests a low blow. I think May definitely got hit lower, but Maidana was retaliating for a punch below the beltline...

just because the camera didnt spell it out for you doesnt mean it didnt happen.

Do I have to repeat that I lost respect for Floyd when he denied Maidana the right to fight with legal puncher gloves?
... Well, I repeat... (I didn't have any issues about the "guru" until this one)...

But Mayweather uses his elbows and forearms as a defensive technique and not as an offensive one. Theres's a difference. He gets away with it most of the time because it's the opponent that moves forward into his forearm.

I am sure this is not the last post I will see like this in this topic. I do find it interesting though, that you don't seem to understand that elbows (in any form) are illegal in the sport of boxing. It is true that Floyd gets away with it more than any fighter, but that still doesn't make it any less illegal.

Being a fan of a fighter should not make you turn such a blind eye, or try and explain away that fighters "dirty tactics"...

its a fight, stfu you fanny

[HandSpeed303]

mayweather is one of the cleanest fighters in boxing. i have watched all his pro fights and he has never once used his elbow.

what you are referring to is him using his forearm, which is obviously very different. haters always say elbow to make it out to be worse than it really is. but even when he does use his FOREARM its not an aggressive move, he does it to keep guys from headbutting him which no reasonable person would have a problem with.

edit: and mayweather won the fight handily, it wasnt close at all. the first half was close, but then floyd took over and clearly separated himself from maidana down the stretch.

Bruh?...

I enjoy your insight on fights, and the opinions you provide (knowing you are a boxer yourself. I think that you are the same guy), but this post is just tragic to say the least.

Lol, keep in mind, I have no dog in this fight, but for fans to act as if Floyd has not used his elbows/forearms is a bit delusional at best...

Maidana has always been clear about his Jimmy Hoffa mentality: he does to others what they do to him, only worse.
Now a dirty sht bag like Floyd with his elbows, palm face smashes, low blows and forearms to the neck biching about Maidana being dirty, thats rich.
