Maidana was supposed to be and actually was a cherry pick. A guy who was supposed to be a 12-1 underdog and even lower when you take into account that he wasn't even allowed to wear his punchers gloves. Even though he was promoted as a puncher ..... and people gave him only that. A punchers chance.

The better analogy than palming would be Kobe, MJ, or Lebron being allowed to ward off when going to the hole. Is it right, no. But the refs believe the defender is going to do anything in his power to stop the layup/dunk so they let them "protect" themselves where they don't with other guys.
Also, they know fans pay to see those guys so I will concede some of it may be the ref sensing people are paying to see floyd show his skills..
Maidana was the first time Broner had to really deal with a bigger guy throwing everything at him to win.Broner was in the same position as floyd, he doesn't have the experience or the collective knowledge in his corner to know how to deal with it.
My point is simple- if the opponent's plan to win is excessive brawling and fouling, floyd responding in kind is not excessive. its preventitive.
Look, boxing isn't just about boxing from the outside. It's also about brawling, counter punching, and making things uncomfortable.
If boxing was only one style, the typical classic boxing style, then we would have missed out on many great fights and great champions.
That's the beauty of boxing, that's it's boxer vs brawler, bralwer vs counter puncher, and speed vs power and conditioning.
Again, you can't beat Floyd at his own game, so you need to rough things up to make it even. It's Floyd's job to counter that and he does it with holding and forearms to the face.
I get it, and I'm not hating. I'm just pointing it out and thought that if the ref just disallowed it a little bit more, it would be a more even fight.

Exposed and complaining BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the fight ..... that was Floyd .....
Twice? Don't worry, I and others will remind you, in the real world, what happened plenty of times ..... just in case you forget!

Just read what you posted and maybe it will click. I will bold it up for you.
Maidana was supposed to be and actually was a cherry pick. A guy who was supposed to a 12-1 underdog and even lower when you take into account that he wasn't even allowed to wear his punchers gloves. Even though he was promoted as a puncher ..... and people gave him only that. A punchers chance.
