I lost all respect for Maidana and Robert Garcia

The camera was on Maidana's back. The arc of the punch was low. Period.



Maidana did some good work that was partially mitigated by camera angle.. in fact I bet you missed a Maidana jab that buzzed Mayweather in the last seconds of the 6th while he was trying to throw the right hand...which is consequently why they were eyeballing each other at the bell.

Likewise in the 7th Maidana landed perhaps his hardest body shot of the night, also in the last seconds. A lunging lead uppercut to May's gut. This also got May's attention at the bell. It was from the momentum of that body shot that Maidana surged into the 8th.

9th was May's most dominant round.


but yeah.. some people need gift wrapped presentation to notice a punch. Its why May is so successful... he gift wraps the presentation for his audience quite well.



continue to be ignorant though for all I care. I can only be a guide I cannot lead the blind to see.

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.

Yes both men were fighting dirty. Floyd is big on pushing the head down and jamming his forearm in his opponent's neck, he likes to create space with his elbows too. Maidana's biggest dirty tactic in the fight, Id say, is the punching behind the head.
