    Floyd UD's Khan in a lot less Drama than the two Maidana fights if that is indeed Floyd's next fight, Floyd will look spectacular in that fight vs a non pressure fighter.
    I can agree with this, wouldn't say feared but he was fearful of the way Maidana was trying to set up the right hand in the center of the ring. This is probably the best defensive display from an opponent Mayweather has ever seen as well, I think that needs to be mentioned.

      True Fear is too strong, Respect was fine enough as it got across what i mean't. I'll edit that out.

        That was a great fourth round. Mayweather roared back over the last minute he took some big shots to the head and body. Both did.

          That counter right hand that hit Mayweather on the chest first fight, you were actually right about him practicing that, it was better perfected for this fight but once Maidana landed it, Mayweather knew what he was in for. There were times when Mayweather would set up the pull counter but simply as a bait to get under Maidana's punches and take the center back.

          I knew Mayweather was gonna come in with the left hook, he studied that first fight but Maidana came prepared for it as well. Not nearly as good of a fight as the first but it was interesting, I can safely say that.

            That left hook was key. He countered and led with it all night. And the left to the body in the ninth (?) was every bit as hurtful as Maidana's right in the third. Maybe more. Maidana landed some big shots though, particularly in the eighth. Mayweather took them well. Not a great performance and his age is showing but I wouldn't be in a rush to pick anyone else in the division to beat him.

              Apparently Floyd's father told him to take off the gas in the 11th and put it on Maidana in the 12th. Floyd decided to do the exact opposite. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth when in the last round he literally runs. Other than that he fought exactly how you should a fighter like Maidana. Reminded me so much of the second Castillo fight, which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more boring than the first.

                  I love these Epilogues... The All Access crew can't make regular episodes but they sure know how to make epilogues for some reason lol. Awesome stuff. SHO tried so hard to make it look like floyd won and still you can tell what really happened regardless of the careful editing.

                  WAR CHINO BABYYY!!! Hell of a night. Floyd got destroyed.
