(and I am a fan of Mayweather, for what it's worth)

right hand was ****ed, he wasnt wearing those japanese made gloves neither "winning" which helped **** his hands. nothing he could have done, so he beat baldomirs ass with his weak hand

that's true. Good question, why wasn't he wearing the winning gloves?

He always uses the same excuse of his hand every fight. C'mon, you can't possibly hurt your hand so many times. He's very good but he has to stand in there and fight to be more entertaining.

He wasn't using his right hand in the last 3 rounds. Do you think he was making it up?

Im a huge Floyd fan but I dont believe the hand crap either. He just uses that when he cant get the KO. I think the missing ingredient in this fight was Roger Mayweather. Floyd has gone for the kill ever since the N'Dou fight and I think he wouldve been much more aggressive in this fight had Roger been there because he is a offensive teacher but without him and think the other guys game plan was just for him to stay away from Baldy.

I think Floyd wouldve been much more offensive had Roger been there and had trained him in camp

if he was using his right hand id see your point, but he wasnt, and thats a naturual tendency you just dont get away from. you say you can tpossibly hurt your hand that many times, i have broken my ankle 2 times and suffered wrist fractures in several places on both hands and im just 23, it happens, im just very injury prone.

again, to say its an excuse...why would he do that and just use only one hand while baldomir is on the verge as every round goes on as floyd continues to land flush.

AGAIN, he wasnt using Winning gloves, this contributed to it definately.

I do think he had a legitimate hand problem,early in the fight that right hand was hitting Baldomir so much i thought they would have stopped the fight,but around the 10th round he stopped using it and just used the left,why would he stop using the hand that was picking Baldomir off beautifuly? Usualy he wears pillow gloves,i guess he should have wore them,but them pink gloves where sick lol

I think it was the plan all along. In the interview with Roger Mayweather before the fight he said that he told Mayweather to be smart and just outbox Baldomir. He also said he trained Mayweather for much of the camp before being locked up. Roger Mayweather wouldn't of been there anyway because he still has that year suspension in Nevada.
