Lmao...an elbow or forearm in a man's neck to hold him up for a free shot is not a boxing technique either, but you will be ok

The next ref would never allow those knees and ****. Look for Maidana to be the deer in the headlight when all the dirty fighting is disallowed. Garcia would be pissed off. Watch.

Another loss for Maidana.

and the fight will suck..and will be boring....is this what you want?

They are both clever AT getting away with a limited amount of nastiness,hardly anything new in fights i have seen...if both are doing their "thing" they should be left alone by the ref,and left to fight through,better for us fans,and neither should be penalized.....except for bi{t}chin'..the less we see of the ref...the better.

Holding is illegal, if you try to hold Floyd, he will elbow you. Don't hold and you don't get elbowed. Floyd is all about defense, he's all about defending himself and countering. He will defend himself from the illegal tactic of holding by using the illegal tactic of elbowing.

[bimhead]

In other words, the next ref will be floyd friendly

geez i hope not....what a way to ruin a great match-up....that will piss off a lot of fans on both sides.

so u agree with low blowing another fighter on purpose? did not alot of the greats have dirty boxing in their arsenal? so u complain about them??? how can u be a boxing fan and support low blowing on purpose? outside of low blows and rabbit punching n tackling (on purpose) its all good man...

oh wait, low blows and rabbit punching n tackling (on purpose) r all good as long as its done to a boxer i personally hate... is that what u would like to hear?

kind of well said...in a way

oh really?

Then you haven't been watching many Floyd fights, because he has been warned in the past of actually "pushing off" with his forearm. Not for launching elbows as a striking weapon.

.

and its always been a part of boxing...a warning is fine ...no need for a point deduction....why is this stuff so dirty all of a sudden to some...if you can get away with it without the ref seeing it...more power to you...i love that stuff!

Dude if you really believe that Mayweather using his forearm is a equal infraction to Maidana's headbutts, intentional rabbit punches, intentional low blows, throwing a knee and tackling then you are not a true boxing fan. The way that Maidana breaks the rules, if allowed, causes the sport to lose it's form and become something that no real boxing fan would pay to see. If every fight were allowed to devolve into a spree of illegal punches, headbutts and take downs no one would want to watch anymore.. Mayweather putting his forearm in his opponents face only frustrates his opponent. It doesn't change the entire nature of the sport like Maidana's tactics do.

Well, you see the Mayweathers moaning about Maidana being dirty and the ref, and they already told the media that the refereeing will more or less be Mayweather approved, so yeah man the fight itself has the potential to be a real borefest compared to the first fight. Plus the gloves will be floyd approved, so
