Mayweather fight!! Post links and discussion here!!!!

You can't get a draw from this stats without a knock down

Total Punches Landed/Thrown
thru 12
Mayweather [230/426, 53%]
Maidana [221/858, 25%]


I'm convinced that many people just can't see the punches and get activity confused with effectively landing punches.

WTF 858 & only landed 25% :smh:
 
The funny thing is Maidana made this a tough close fight and didnt win on any cards.

Canelo got dominated in the fight and won on one scorecard.
 
Fellas for real......
Imagine what would have happened if Floyd's team did NOT catch Maidana cheating with those gloves
:eek::eek::eek:


Floyd better give his camp a raise for real
Cause Mayweather would have been....

:itsawrap::itsawrap::itsawrap:

He might've. Because if this Maidana fighting with some gloves he's not comfortable with? This shit could've been bad......

True - but then Floyd isn't gonna fight the same fight. I definitely see him going to the body more and being prepared for the bullshit - early
 
no way

just because dude was punching a lot don't mean he was winning.

It wasn't so much about the (sloppy windmill) punches imo.

He was pretty much dictating the pace of the fight in the early rds.
Basically, he took the fight to Mayweather.

He dominated the middle of the ring.
Kept throwing punches.

Kept cutting the ring off when Floyd tried to run.
And muscled him around. That's all.

(you gotta admit, PBF was clenching him ALOT in the first 3 or 4 rounds. lol -
trying to calm that CRAZY shit down. lol)

But Mayweather outlasted the early barrage... and won the fight.
 
Y'all can say what y'all want but Maidana don't look phased. Usually cats be taking a beating against Floyd....Maidana look like how he entered the fight.

it ain't about how he look. lol

he could only really brawl in the beginning. after getting hit with those body shots he had to slow it all the way down. let's not act like he went right to the max for 12 rounds, if he had... he would've won.
 
Yep. If anyone is confused by a judge having a 5 point spread all the need to see if this

Only way Maidana was going to win with those kinds of stats was with multiple knockdowns.

Damn. That dude is strong. He slowed down a little but he never stopped coming. :confused:

Ayyy I won't put it pasts Mayweather. His defense game is sick. This type of wrecklessness that Maidana fights with is why he probably gave him the better fight than any of these past guys. Everyone else goes in fighting timid and trying to get a decision on Money.....
 
why are dudes surprised at them haymakers from Maidana. He throws them every fight.

Unless they watched him beat Brush My Hair, most people probably have never seen Maidana fight. We used to talk about this cat over on the sports board (when that was popping). Dude's a real grinder. He brings the heat all 12 rounds.... if he had quicker feet or quicker hands he would be a real monster.
 
this was a close fight..115-113 was my score for floyd..it would have been crazy though if the fight was stopped by the cut then maidana prolly would have won that shit on a TD lol..one thing is for sure...floyd is slowing down..its not drastic but he is slowing...damned good fight

Nothing wrong with grabbing wild ass fighters. That's the definition of calming that shit down.

Ahh I disagree there. Granted, he had a few rounds where he slowed down a bit and where Mayweather was the aggressor but for the most part I can't say he slowed it all the way down. I didn't see it that way. He got shook up a bit by Mayweather but that cat in the 11th and 12th round wasn't slowing down.

Maidana is a wreckless wild muthafucka. He put up a much better fight than I expected. He's getting that rematch and I have a feeling as long as Mayweather is still in the prime of his career he'll fight him much better next time......
 
To be honest - this is the type of fight that takes a few years off a ninja like Floyd. I can't see him fighting too many more. Literally this rematch and that might be it.

but that's the point. he came out and did everything you said. and even in the early rounds floyd was tapping him at a 70% clip. he was dictating the pace and everything. all floyd did was allow him to do that. i dont know if he knew he wouldn't be able to keep that up or not but he couldn't

by the middle he could only do it in short bunches.. and he kept getting tagged.

they both held

floyd earlier
later floyd was being held somewhat

BUT like i said you just can't win landing 25% of your punches and not knocking someone down at least once while your opponent is hitting you half of the time..literally.
 
Got to give Robert Garcia his props he's improved Maidana tremendously. This would have been unimaginable even a hear ago.

Also I don't like him but I have to give Alex Ariza credit ( or Trevor Ariza as Nzinga says) he trained him well and his conditioning didn't fail him like I thought it would in the later rounds.

yep. i predicted Floyd in 12 mainly because of those slow feet. He just cant move and against Mayweather, that is playing into his strength. I did however have him only losing by 2 rounds myself though.

The rematch can't be his last fight. He has 2 more fights to fulfill his contract with Showtime/CBS.

Oh yeah after having the benefit of already fighting him and making adjustments Floyd would kill him in a rematch.
 
Damn. That dude is strong. He slowed down a little but he never stopped coming. :confused:

I became a fan of his like 7 years ago. That's his M.O. He doesn't let up. And he really doesn't punch himself out. He's heavy handed. I remember when Ortiz knocked him down twice over the first two rounds... and Maidana never stopped throwing punches... eventually just grinded Ortiz's bitch ass down and TKOd him in the 6th...

he slowed down compared to how aggressive and how much action he had in the beginning. he just simply couldn't do it later after being tagged by floyd after the early barrage.

if he could have, he probably would have won.

but all that action and he's not connecting.. you can see it during the fight. he lands like 3 out of every 12 punches.. they come in bunches but they weren't connecting. he's a great fighter there's nothing to take away from him at all.
 
fuck comfortable, this aint bare knuckle boxing.

if he needs bare knuckles to win he don't need to win :lol:

I'm just saying if i'm fighting with a certain type of glove and i'm preparing to use that glove........and at the last minute be told I can't? That's a disadvantage somewhat. Probably wouldn't have mattered in the decision but Maidana fighting in bigger gloves than he's fought with in the past? Not bad......
 
Floyd landed 70% of his punches he won off the strength of that
Madiana throw over 500 punches and didnt even land a quarter of them :lol:

Foh mayweather beat his ass

c'mon man Maidana was fighting dirty using his head and in one round tried a knee lift.

He threw a ot but wasn't landing.

he was roughing up mayweather and using his 15 pound advantage to do that but wasn't landing punched except low blows

Yeah, I agree.
I was just saying that the 'punch stat' numbers were a bit deceptive.

Floyd won.

But the fight wasn't as 'lopsided' as one of the judges scored it.
One judge made it seem like Floyd had dominated 9 out of 12 rounds.

But that wasn't the case. :smh:

It was a close fight.
The numbers alone don't tell the whole story.

But if someone looked at just the punch stats, it would seem like a blowout victory for PBF.
