Floyd showed moments of brilliance, but overall i think his age is showing, also after the fight where he said he felt sharper the first fight, i think he himself is coming to the realization that hes declining.

He looked like an older Floyd, but not old as hell. He beat Maidana very easy but was hit by some punches that a younger Floyd would have never been hit with, especially by someone that Is as slow as Maidana. He moved around the ring pretty well(alot more than the first fight) and did a lot of holding that was completely ignored by Kenny Bayless. I do believe that a fighter with speed will be his eventual downfall especially with Floyd being 38 years old the next time he steps In the ring.Comment

Can't believe the ref didn't deduct points for all the holding Floyd was doing, madaina had no chance from pthe opening bellComment

the choice of Bayless as referee definitely impacted how this fight was fought, Maidana had no chance winning a fight in the center of the ring. 117-111 for Floyd. He looked sharp tonight, his footwork and reflexes still elite.Comment

He did get stunned at the end of the 3rd or the 4th, can't remember exactly which. Bayless was very involved in the fight, which is never a good thing. I don't think he ever warned Floyd about the excessive clinching. Floyd would sometimes wrap his arms around Maidana's arms, or he would slip a punch and quickly initiate a clinch. Not once did Bayless tell him to stop, and there wasn't much fighting out of the clinch either. He makes it crystal clear in round 1 what type of fight it's going to be.Last edited by kiaba360; 09-13-2014, 11:45 PM.Comment
