SRL on #Mayhem: "Someone is going down in that fight!"

[IronDanHamza]

Agreed. I expect Chino to be better though and I can't see Floyd moving around too much -- he could barely do it in the first bout. My premise is that Floyd's adjustment will be to concentrate more on close-quarter action rather than moving around more. And that could lead to a stoppage. But either way, he's in tough.

I think he's going to try and throw single shots and hold until Maidana slows down.

He'll attempt to move but only as much as his old legs will let him.

Interesting -- I can see that...but for how long?

Who knows, we'll have to wait and see.

I do see Floyd taking this fight though.

See, I think that's what he'll do early on. But then I think he settles down and starts (trying) to break down Maidana in close quarters. I don't know but I can't wait.

If Mayweather worked on his strength on conditioning like he said he would he might have a little more pop and be able to keep Maidana from laying on him. If Maidana gets hurt early it might discourage him enough to throw him off his game like he was against Alexander. Maidana is going to apply the same tactics he did the first fight. I can't see him doing much better but it's up to Mayweather to make the fight more difficult for him.

Because you can't knock down your opponent with pillow gloves. No need to hype up this fight.

so nobody has ever been knocked out with the gloves maidana wore in the 1st fight vs floyd????

I honestly beleive Floyd is going to get ktfo

The fight already sold itself bruh no need to go full salesman mode. Hits another easy 1 mil + homes.

It didn't come close to hitting that the first time.

[ADP02]

I think it's possible...sure. But I'm actually leaning toward Floyd stopping him. IDK, I keep seeing something playing out like Toney-Jirov or Nelson-Fenech II. I could see Floyd pulling off that that sort of strategy that involves well-timed shots on the inside that breaks down Maidana.

You mean, Maidana gassing out in the 2nd half of the fight and getting caught ..... that has the highest probability of happening if you are hoping that Floyd drops Maidana.

Maidana should have hired Heredia for this fight. They're not going to do VADA testing, anyway. Floyd is committed to USADA. Memo prefers USADA. So there won't be any problem there. I expect Floyd to be fully roided in this fight.
