Mayweather: "The rematch referee is going to be totally strict"

[Farrod]

Floyd still thinks he's in the era of gloves w/ thumbs and 15 round fights.

Nope, he fully understands that he's fighting a dude who tried to cheat with faulty gloves, and who repeatedly hit him in his fuggin brain stem.

Bro, so u saying Floyd's elbow use is ok??? I think it's dirty.

He's been doing for years and would've been disqualified for it many moons ago. He has been warned about pushing off with it at times by refs.

so the crux of this thread is:

if the ref allows both fighters to get away with fouling that's fine because it gives Maidana a better chance to win. But if he calls it as he is supposed to and uses warnings and point deductions to eliminate it (as the rules suggest) then its bad because Maidana wont have as much of a chance to win.

No the crux of the thread is that Floyd appears to believe he has control over the referee before the fight even starts.

Just because he's been doing it for yrs just means he's been getting away with it for yrs. not that it's ok cuz he's been doing it for so long. He's dirty himself and crys like a lil baby when he gets roughed up. **** him, I hope Chino murks that p*ssy!!!

Hes gotten in trouble for it on numerous occasions. With that said, his elbows aren't the kind of blatant fouls that a rabbit punch or a low blow is. He uses his elbow to push off, he doesn't use it as a weapon. There is a good deal of difference. Both dirty but both aren't blatant.

Both dirty which is my point and IMO both are blatant. Floyd knows what he be doing bro.

By suggesting he ref the fight according to the rules? I get you want Floyd to lose and I understand you are (irrationally IMO) critical of Cortez performance in the Hatton fight but this is a stretch.

You are taking gamesmanship way to seriously, especially given the first fight where both guys, but especially Maidana, were not admonished.

So does this fall under "fix", or standard mayweather operating procedure

Like I said. He would've been disqualified for it. Obviously its not as egregious as some make it out to be. I suppose getting away with low blows is ok as long as its Maidana and he wins?

At least he's giving Maidana another go at "murking" him.
