Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather-Marcos Maidana II: The Right Choice

[Evol]

The last fight was a great one, so this makes sense. Props to Mayweather for keeping his word, and giving Maidana an immediate rematch. I hope Khan fights Thurman (if Manny don't want none) because Thurman deserves a shot at a big name too. I wouldn't have been mad if Floyd chose him over Maidana.

Beacuse Khan hadn't done anything at WW, and Maidana beat Soto-Karass and Broner, and held a title (via Broner) at WW. Now if Khan was good to go for September, Khan would get the fight. Floyd knows that's cash money! If Floyd had chosen Khan over Maidana, you would be calling him a coward! Now your boy has a choice of GBP fighters and who did he ask Arum to cross over to get...?

lololololol...

So will he be forced to fight with pillows or not?
Fight will sell better if they let him use the gloves he wants imo. Can be used in the build up as a big thing then.

You guys with all this glove talk, make it seem like he has magic gloves and he needs them to win. Keep in mind all this glove controversy started when HIS gloves failed inspection for not having sufficient padding. It's makes you wonder. You cannot blame Floyd for being skeptical about his gloves from that point forward. Also, the Garcia camp has had some issues with following the rules lately as well.

It is the right choice as long as Maidana can wear his gloves and the ref isnt going to allow floyds constant elbowing/forearm smashes. I also want to see him warned for constantly offering the back of his head and complaining when he gets hit there, something he has done in every fight since Hatton.

yeah, that's about the size of it. But if he's forced to wear the pillows again it's a joke.

I'm hoping floyd performs in this rematch like he did in the Castillo rematch and doesn't get KTFO like RJJ in the Tarver rematch.

I hope he also makes Maidana wear gloves, shoes, and trunks he doesn't want to so the usual NSB clowns can whine should he win.

Maidana should be allowed to hit low, behind the head and hold while hitting

And Gong, don't even try to tell me Maidana didn't do those things or that he only did it in retaliation, because that's crap. They're both dirty fighters and the ref allowed a free-for-all.

So you're saying he wants to be rabbit punched as some type of strategic move? That is the dumbest thing I have EVER read on this forum and that's saying a lot. Again Maidana created the gloves issue.

I didnt say that did I? Maidana was dirty too, but Floyd didnt get picked up once for his forearms or this offering of the back of his head. A fair shake is all thats required, but it never happens when it comes to floyd.

Whatever the case is, let's just hope Laurence Cole isn't the ref.

[IMDAZED]

A lot of Maidana's hard shots just barely missed. This will be very, very interesting.
