Comments Thread For: Mayweather Repeats, Decisions Maidana in Las Vegas

Well it's official... Mayweather is shot to shit! I was in denial but this fight confirmed it. All I saw was holding, holding, and holding.

Floyd has declined a lot

[SkillspayBills]

Floyd is too good of a fighter to have to resort to fighting this way, with such a lesser fighter. Actually shows he may be not as good as he once was, but still the smartest. But of course the decline comes with age for all.

He is 37....and a half...of course he has declined significantly. People fail to realize this. He can't win any way he wants to anymore. He has to be much more strategic with his fights. The Floyd that beat Hatton utterly starches Chino.

Easier work the second time around.

Floyd deserved the UD, but it would have been a closer fight if he didn't stall the fight with a bite story, clinch every time Maidana came close, and fell by his own cause twice. When Maidana was able to throw he tagged him several times, Mayweather deserved the win and looks sharp as ever, as I said he would, Maidana also looked good, using feints and good combinations and an improved defense.

Either way both will still make noise in the division.

WAR Maidana!

WAR Floyd!

I came on here to see what the primary complaints of the whiners would be and now I know. You must have been wearing rose-colored glasses when you watched this fight.

He wasn't as accurate as usual, and clinched a lot. His reflexes and foot-speed were still there. He did what he had to do to win, but it was far from an impressive or entertaining performance imo.

Oh ok, I saw a screenshot of him on the stool in the 4th and it didn't look good at all. Been seeing on other sites people talking about he might wanna walk now and shhh. How was the ref?

Does anyone really believe that Maidana bit through his own mouthpiece, through Floyd's glove and bit his hand hard enough to make it go numb the rest of the fight??

Maidana did not do enough to win this fight, but Bayless really kept him from working when he had a hand free. At times, it seemed Bayless was preparing to jump in even before Floyd clinched.

In the past, Floyd had wisely avoided counters by smothering and tying up opponents after landing a punch, but tonight he was simply initiating holds, and that was disappointing. There were moments when Floyd's brilliance came out, but these moments are more and more infrequent in his fights and Floyd doesn't seem nearly as motivated to turn his defense into offense. At times, Floyd's performance seemed lazy to me.

Obviously, expectations are set very high for Floyd, but when you campaign as TBE, you shouldn't be surprised that fans expect you to show and prove. I think Floyd will probably opt for Khan in his next fight. Thurman still has a lot to prove in my mind, but I don't think he offers Floyd enough reward for the risk. If Floyd decides to take a risk before he retries, Pacquiao is still the only name that makes financial sense.
