    Wasn't even that dirty, the only gripe I have with it is some rabbit punches. Dirty is Horn vs Pacquiao, Sanchez vs Pacquiao, Ward vs an assortment of foes, Salido vs Lomachenko.

    Maidana was no more dirty than Floyd. Mayweather loves to use forearms and elbows, clinches, pushes off, etc. Floyd got out-hustled and cried to the ref like a b!tch though. Even after threatening to cancel the fight over legal gloves that Marcos wanted to wear. Same gloves he wore in previous fights.
    Please. Come on, guys. Don't show your bias so much. The proof is right in front of your faces.



    Let me know what you guys see.

    What people liked about Maidana is that he was supposed to be a cherry pick (lost the cherry picking contest to Khan but Floyd still picked him) but he actually came to fight.
    This sounds a lot like Jeff Hornacek. Lost the cherry picking poll and came to fight. What do you think?

    It wasn't about Maidana's dirty tactics ... nobody was saying, kick Floyd with your knees which by the way, never hit Floyd! Nobody congratulated Maidana when he got him to the ground. nor did they care for biting Floyd's hand, if that happened in their second encounter.

    People were just impressed with how he dominated those rounds where he threw a volume of punches in Floyd's direction.
    I sure as hell hope that you were saying the same thing about the school bus driver.

    What happened is that Floyd and his fans complained about Maidana's dirty tactics and that for the rematch, they needed a ref that was ready to deduct points from Maidana. The response was as expected.
    because,
    Floyd does his share and does not get points deducted and had advantages going into the fight (removed Maidana's gloves) ...
    This is complete bullshlt. You're telling me that fans were down for Maidana being dirty as **** not because they hate Floyd, but because Floyd has a reputation as a dirty fighter. Get the **** out of here. You know that's bullshlt. Floyd uses his elbow to push off. I won't disagree that sometimes it connects or causes some discomfort, but I've never seen him throw it with an intent to do anything besides push off. Sometimes it's rough and tumble in there and that's the game. It's not a tickling contest. However, there is a HUGE difference between what Mayweather did and what Maidana did. Look at the video above.
