Comments Thread For: J. Mayweather: Roach Blew Smoke Up Everybody's Ass

I'm sorry Jeff, everything you said was wrong. Floyd showed he had to clinch every 10 seconds in the fight because his legs are gone. When a fighter can't box, he ties his opponent up. If that Floyd fought Manny, he would have been KOed...

Floyd took that money. What did you think Floyd was gonna do? Sit there and take Maidana's punches? Skills pay the bills

And if Pacquiao had caught that shot from Maidana at the end of round 3, it would have been lights out for Manny yet again.

money is a complete fighter. he can take it and he can give it.

I totally agree with u he's the best pound 4 pound.

Poor Jeff, still trying desperately to get his nephew to give him a job or put him on the payroll.

Floyd can take it? When has that been proven? His style is designed so that he doesn't take any clean shots. Floyd was obviously scared after the first fight that Maidana might hit him clean in the rematch and thus bought off Bayless to ensure that wouldn't happen. Jeff Mayweather says Floyd made sure that Maidana couldn't get off his big shots but really it was Bayless who had that job. Maidana looked worse in the rematch, even considering Bayless' bias. Whether that was do to his frustration with Floyd's movement and/or Bayless' role, he boxing poorly and wasn't aggressive enough. I wouldn't be surprised if Maidana took an extra mil or so to not push the pace. It certainly appeared that way. Furthermore, his corner didn't seem too concerned with Bayless' elimination of inside fighting.

I thought it was a brilliant performance. He didn’t give himself as much credit as he should have. I thought he fought a great fight. I thought he kept the fight at the center of the ring, he fought real smart. He didn’t let Maidana get his punches off and he would grab Maidana and Maidana couldn’t get anything off.

Once Floyd knew the fight was pretty much in the bag — which I thought he won ten out of twelve rounds — he showed everybody that he still has his legs and Freddie Roach is just blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. [Click Here To Read More]

He did fight a great fight, he always fights great fights against limited fighters. That's the story of his life.

This is complete BS. That shot was nowhere near as clean as the Marquez KO punch. Pacquiao was coming forward and looking to land and Marquez threw a perfect short shot. Floyd was avoiding the action and left his hands down while going backwards. Completely different punch. Different fighters, different styles, different situation.

Floyd looked better the first time they fought. This time around he ran and held like crazy while his newest employee Kenny Bayless watched on. Hearing Jeff say this is crazy. He grabed Maidana and didn't let him get anything off..... No ****! And what Floyd did in the twelfth??? That was cool too right??? Lol that **** was a joke. Mayweather shouldn't have even fought him again if that was gonna be the game plan. It was a good hard fought fight the first time. You rematch Maidana and it's to either knock him out like Hatton or blaze him like Gatti.

Floyd and Kenny Bayless make a great team.

Floyd looked better in the first fight? He was getting pounded on and manhandled the first half of the fight. How was that better? Oh yeah I get it its because he stood in the pocket and got beat on as opposed to his usual way of "boxing" in which he dominates his opponents. And I don't understand the excessive holding. Everytime Maidana pinned Floyd against the ropes and started teeing off, Floyd clinched. Every fighter does that. I can understand if Floyd did a Khan or Hatton and just clinch after every time he throws a punch but that wasn't the case. He only did it when pushed against the rope to take maidana out of his gameplan because that was the only way he could land punches. That's a common strategy. Floyd fought a smarter fight, was more dominant, and took less punishment. How you figure that performance was less then the first baffles me.

Honestly bro, I totally disagree with everything you said. Floyd held all night. The fight was garbage.

it was a good fight. you saw everything of the sweet science of boxing. and maidana did his part. people look at things differently.so keep on hating and being jealous. we don't care

Only thing I hate is paying money to see a trash fight. Usually the case with Mayweather. Why do u think anyone is jealous??? Jealous of what???
