Damn, Chino Maidana vs Floyd was an underrated fight!

[_Maxi]

He's talking about the first fight you dumb ****, there wasn't much clinching at all, Mayweather fought Maidana at his own game and won.

Forget the pillow gloves he forced Maidana to use. Maidana had to put vaseline in his hands because the gloves didn't fit in his hands. Why didn't you talk about that?
Also about the 26 foot ring.

Maidana fought 35 guys, including Broner, Khan, you name them. Only Floyd Mayweather forced him to use different gloves.

But he was tough.......

Lets be honest, Maidana only had success in that fight because Mayweather allowed him to. He could have easily done what he did in the second fight but chose not to.

I thought Maidana won a lot of exchanges when the fight was in the middle of the ring. He scored often and did great work.

I was re-watching this fight on my lunch break and I have to say, dang this was a fun fight to watch. Chinos a mad man and damn Floyd is tough. Props to Weeks too, great ref! If your arm(s) free, punch a way!!

With that said, do you think the second fight would've been different if Weeks were the ref again?

yup, good fight, we got to see Floyd lose 7-5.

[Gigantes]

Yes, Maidana would have knocked him out cold.

Mayweather likely faked or exaggerated the hand bite. I mean, come on how can you bite through padded boxing gloves with a mouth piece? He was stalling because he was rocked by two Maidana hooks.

The video is right here proving it.

don't forget the pillow gloves too

[Gigantes]

All I know is Floyd couldn't wait for that fight to be over. It did not go as planned. I think Maidana surprised him at how much better he is, in the fight versus how he looks when you watch him. He actually fought a beautiful fight and was doing well not getting tagged with clean shots himself even though after the 8th round the fight for away from him and Floyd claws his way back into the fight but there's no ****ing way that was an 8-4 Floyd fight as most the score cards suggested, that was a draw type fight. There was no clear winner there but of course Floyd got backyard love, per usual.

7-5 for maidana or at worst, a draw, you're right

yes that was a great fight, Maidana (outside of the illegal sht) got my respect hes a beast! Floyd handled his bis as well

[Dean_Razorback]

a win for chino would've been nothing crazy in the first fight. i don't get why people say "he put up a good fight but wasn't enough" in a passive aggressive way to diminish his work.

frampton beat a santa cruz that never stop throwing the other day and a lot of people have leo winning that fight and i'm willing to bet that many of those had floyd beating maidana.

[IronDanHamza]

A really good fight.

The only fight Floyd arguably lost aswel as the first Castillo fight.

Maidana did great. No one expected him to trouble Floyd. I did. I knew he'd be one of his toughest fights.

[SunSpace]

It was an awesome fight; Floyd may have won, officially, but every time I think of that fight, the only thing that comes to mind is "Mayweather got beaten up."
