Comments Thread For: Maidana: Maybe I am Dirty, But so is Mayweather!

Judging by Mayweather's selfie, Maidana missed anything important with that punch.

[peplz]

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

The fight will be boring if Maidana isn't allowed to blatantly break the rules? You think a fighter being allowed to get away with throwing intentional rabbit punches and low blows is what makes the sport entertaining? I beg to differ. The rules being adhered to actually makes a fight more entertaining to most of us BOXING FANS.

Throwing punches while your opponent is "looking at the ref" is not against the rules.

agree 100%..but it kind of ruined the drama of the fight...would have liked to see more rounds...but yes...its within the rules.

Is not floyd's forearm/elbow to the face used to intentionally create space to land a punch with the free hand? Its as intentional as anything Maidana did.

and its been a part of boxing forever..as is the brawling,slugging,mauling maidaina style...so whats new here besides the fans?

Is another banned poster found the password for their old alt.

You stop crying, about me crying, about them crying.

thanks alot!now i feel like crying!! lolol!!!!

Gotta love the double standards! Maidana is a dirty/MMA fighter but floyd is a clean fighter who just uses "veteran tactics" AKA elbows and forearm smashes to the neck/face. Yeah, ok!

most here agree ,they're both a little dirty...but nothing to write home about ,in my opinion.

[bimhead]

lets take floyd out of the picture because really it being done to him is what makes it okay to u all. if its done to your fav fighter you all go crazy and nobody ever hears the end of it

when you go to a boxing gym is not dirty boxing IN THE CLINCH taught on certain levels? maybe some gyms less than others but yes or no...

when you go to a boxing gym is hitting another man in the nuts on purpose or tackling ever taught as a BOXING technique? yes or no

i hear you..but that sounds more like bernard hopkins.

[bimhead]

Who cares?

Made the fight exciting

short and sweet and on the mark!

Thanks broham.

boxing fans are such gentlemen!

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.

I'm not sure that Maidana was even trying to be sneaky or clever. He was quite blatant. In the first minute of the first round he wrapped is right arm around the back of Mayweather's head and threw about five punches with his left right in front of the referee's face. The ref just didn't react. That's not cleverness that's just lax refereeing.
