How can Floyd win easier?

[Resilient]

Get the Ref on his side even earlier.

In the very first round Look for Floyd to turn to the ref Just as his elbow's connecting with Maidana's jaw and say "C'mon Ref! he be all up in ma face an shiet!"

A referee like Robert Byrd would be a start. He'll stop and reset the action the very moment Mayweather initiates a clinch, just like he did in the Guerrero fight.

Employ more movement.

Floyd started to get comfortable with Maidana's attack in the center of the ring and began to lead more than counter effectively. I think he will do more of that and turn him more in the rematch. The jab to the body will still be there so he can still set up his offense off of that.

Floyd's going to get knocked out in this rematch. Sig it.

Keep It In The Middle Of the Ring!

Maidana won't have Ariza since Garcia kicked him out of camp. So I think maidana's energy, output and stamina will not be as great..
Maidana was successful in the first fight when he was extremely busy throwing 100 punches a round, but once his punch output dropped, Floyd had a much easier time..
With Maidana not having Ariza, I think that will be a big factor for Floyd's success in rematch.

Floyd did well well when he stayed in the center of the ring so I expect he'll try to do more of that. But even then, he'd be doing well but then decide to stay on the ropes the very next round. I was thinking that was just a sign he was tired but I've gone back and watched some of Floyd's fights when he was younger and he often did the same thing. I think he tries to get the other guy to punch himself out. I think I'm in the minority but I'm pretty excited for this fight. I hope they get a good undercard.

[Weebler I]

Clinch and hold more than he already was doing.

Bottom line, he can't live with Maidana on the inside, he has to get out of there or wait until Maidana punches himself out in the mid-rounds.

[Light_Speed]

Tie him up.

I have to agree, I don't think it will be as simple as "box and move more" because i think Maidana will generally usually find some way to make a fight out of it. There's a few adjustments Floyd can make to improve on the first fight and maybe win by a slightly larger margin but i think their clash of styles will generally lend itself to being quite similar. Also, a different referee..

However, on the other hand, for Floyd to take the rematch, one would have assume it's because he saw or felt something in that ring that could he could make an easier nights work out of in the rematch. He was in the ring with Maidana so he might have seen something we didn't. I'm a fan of Floyd but i call a spade a spade and i don't think he would take the rematch unless he's convinced he can make it easier work and we know Floyd is a smart guy inside the ring so i'd have to think this is part of the reason he took it. If he felt it's a huge risk i think he'd have settled for the win last time and moved on.

Obviously it may be one of the best money fights available for him at the minute but one thing Floyd puts before money is his fear of losing i think, because that is his money and selling point.

Good post. I think Floyd sees areas he can exploit, and without question will adjust, but so can Marcos, and Maidana always finds a way to make it a fight, it's a very intriguing matchup.
