Comments Thread For: Maidana: Fans Pay For Boxing, Not Mayweather Running

[Rome-By-Ko]

If someone has made up their mind to run and has at least average footspeed than its impossible to cut of the ring. Textbook definition of cutting off the ring is by cutting off one direction by taking a hard step to the outside of your opponents foot and throwing a hard body shot. That doesn't work when your opponent can move 360 degrees

Even Pacquiao couldn't cut off the ring against Cotto and Pacquiao has way better footwork and footspeed.

And holding is against the rules period. Just because your opponent does it and gets away with it (cuz he hired a ref that only speaks english when hes fighting a Argentinian) doesn't make it legal or the right thing to do

There is no such thing as running in the sport of boxing..

TBH Maidana should hush up,he did not open up at all..He has to take risk as well..It's a ring,there is no such thing as running in the squared circle..

Yea he didn't go 0 to 100 like he did in the first fight

Maidana fans buy...

They wouldn't be present in the PPV market if Maidana was the A-side.

I guess you've never boxed before.

Actually that guy is a pro fighter. You can check him on box rec.

TBE ran. Maidana is right. It's embarrassing. ;-)

Translation: "Fight my fight otherwise I look like a bum"

Running in a four cornered ring just got exposed as a myth in the 'common myths in boxing' thread.
