I just watched the fight again!

I gave Maidana rounds 1,4,5, and 8 only, (I could possibly give him rounds 3 and 6 but that's a stretch because Mayweather had all the clean hard shots in those rounds) ... 8-4 Mayweather I could to 7-5 but that's being generous to Maidana who fought a very dirty fight.

So Maidana didn t win round 12?

 

[exiledking]

in my opinion, Broner is now vindicated for his loss to Maidana



if an experienced fighter and potential goat had to dig deep, young broner didnt have a chance



besides the knockdowns, he won about 4 or 5 rounds in that contest



he still needs to improve his footwork tho

Vindicated? What's that even mean? He got his ass whooped.

Devon Alexander beat the guy. Amor khan beat the guy. Mayweather also beat him.

Broner ASKED for the fight. He claimed he was something he wasn't. Plain and simple.

He's not on that level. At all. Of he fights anyone of substance at that weight again, he will lose. Shit, he just did ok back down at 140.

not at all... watch it again

So Maidana didn t win round 12?

Not at all, Maidanna had some sloppy work against the ropes (including to shots the the thighs that went unnoticed ) but Floyd had some clean power shots and counters Maidana was clearly gassed..

 

[lazarus]

some people don't understand boxing. you can put on an act and the average dumbass thinks you won.

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.

Maidana won rd 2 also.

But Mayweather won the fight overall.

Just saying.

You could go 7-5 at most and that's with giving Maidana the 12th round. This wasn't as close as people think. Like I said during the fight, people who can't judge a fight get activity confused with effectiveness. He threw 400 more punches than Floyd and still landed few punches

 

[AlexanderNevermind]

anyway he and hopkins can fight

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

anyway he and hopkins can fight

B-Hop wants to fight at 160 and Roger said he can't make the weight.

 

[Spectrum]

anyway he and hopkins can fight

You mean each other?

BHop is fighting at light-heavy. Floyd walks around at 150. If if Hopkins could make 160 (which I don't think he can), he would put on 25 pounds before the fight. You would have Floyd in the ring at 150 and Hopkins at 185.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

The big loser, short term, was Amir Khan. He had the best win of his career lately but Maidana had such a spirited outing, the rematch the more interesting fight. He should go try to make that Alexander fight or Shawn Porter. Go beat somebody good and get a belt. Be ready for that next April fight. Actually earn it this time.

Yeah, but he wouldn't have been able to fight Floyd until next year anyway.

 

[Ninja05]

Yeah, but he wouldn't have been able to fight Floyd until next year anyway.

Exactly. May is gonna fight this dude in September and the numbers are gonna be stoopid. Put Broner on the card again and a few other cats and let's get ready to rumble.

I can't lie - I hate Amir Khan as a boxer (don't even know him as a person - could be a great guy). I hate that he now throws two or three light combinations and then run around the ring. I hate that he pushes off cause he can't fight on the inside. I hate how he talks a gang of shit after getting knocked out and avoided most of the 140 and 147 killers (Collazo isn't a killer).

But dude impressed me a little last night. He fought a head case and didn't fall. Virgil Hill had to give him the Joker "Look at Me!". But I could see him fighting May in May.

Overall - great night of boxing. Mayweather and Golden Boy put on a helluva show. Floyd did his thing and so did Maidana. Meanwhile Top Rank is hoping Pac could fight Marquez for the 15th time after dude lost to Bradley....oh well.

Its even worse than that.

B-Hop wants to have a catchweight at 165

Even when Floyd fights at 154 he can only get up to 152 at the most so there's no way in hell he's getting anywhere near 165 unless he just stops working out and eats himself to that weight.

I doubt Floyd even fights at 154 again to be honest.

 

[Zeferino]

Nigga please.

Pac could never do what Maidana did.

Pac is an in the middle of the ring rhythm fighter.

Maidana gave Floyd problems because he was able to hold him on the ropes and threw and connected enough when he had Floyd there.

Add to that Maidana was damn near 20 pounds heavier than Floyd and a true KO puncher with an 80 percent KO rate.

Pac would fight Floyd in the middle of the ring and wouldn't pressure Floyd that way. Floyd could easily make someone like Pac miss and counter him as he's accustomed to doing.

And despite the BS myth, Pac isn't a KO puncher, he's an accumulation puncher. He has power but not one punch KO power (with the exception of the Hatton fight and some fights in lower weight classes). His advantage is speed and the amount of punches he lands.

Apples and oranges playboy.

You make a good point about Pac fighting in the middle of the ring. However, Pac definitely shares some of the same qualities that Maidana had to make Mayweather uncomfortable. Maidana was just too unpredictable with his punches and very difficult to read. This is similar to what the more schooled Vernon Forrest went through with Mayorga. Mayweather is excellent at reading guys and I was very impressed with how he read Canelo. I saw Canelo try 3 different plans against Mayweather but Mayweather adjusted to each one within a minute and a half of each plan. For that minute and a half, Floyd was slightly vulnerable but once he read Canelo, it was all over. Mayweather never seemed to be able to completely read Maidana and I think this is why they have avoided Pacquiao as a camp. Pac was unpredictable, a lefty, threw punches from unexpected angles, and had a crazy punch output and serious power on his punches. Like you said, he would get knockouts because of an accumulation of punches combined with punching power. It was never about any PED nonsense. As soon as Pac's punch output started to decrease, he started getting less knockouts. Even against Bradely he couldn't just press the action and will a stoppage like he could in the past. I think the 2009 Pac would have been to hard for Mayweather to read and Mayweather would have gotten stopped or at least beaten up.

Today's version of Pac is still unpredictable with the weird punches but his punch output has dipped too much. As for Maidana, I saw that boy win at least 5 of the first 6 rounds against Mayweather. He should have gotten at least a draw because there is no way Maidana did not win a single round from 6 through 12.

 

[Zeferino]

So Maidana didn t win round 12?

I thought he did.

I like how my internet connection dropped right before the fight, and was down all night...



Ah well, time to find a link to watch the replay...

Damn!!! Bruh around normal civilians and supposed to be a rapper.

Damn, so rappers aren't civilians?.. The fuck?...



Them ringside seats are hard to get a hold of... Unless a fighter personally hooks you up, you have to be there the first 5 minutes after the tickets drop to get a hold of those..

I'm convinced that most people can't really "see" what's happening. They reward activity over landing and slipping punches. In those tight exchanges, Maidana would throw 8 punches and land one and Floyd would land one out of two punches coming out off the rope. And that punch from Floyd would mostly be the most accurate punch landed (flush).

Yeah. I don't get it. People are talking shit about someone being in the arena and they're at home watching. It's like talking shit about someone being in nose-bleed seats at the Super Bowl. Even those seats are hard to get.

People really do think rappers are SUPPOSED to shit on their lives. Dude had one hit last year and people want him to be ringside? And since he's not, he's a loser? I've only been able to attend one pro fight in person and that's because it was in my city and I didn't have to pay for travel and hotel.

 

[BigATLslim]

Whoever that cat was that posted that Floyd never had a war before...

... he had one tonight!!!

I remember that post.

Great fucking fight man - dude is Castillo junior. Got that bulldog in him. I say rematch in September will probably do 2 million. Gotta do it Money.

And only for the money because PBF will end up dragging this dude.

No it wasn't, Maidana being busier made it look close.

True.

Floyd said in advance of the fight that he wasn't going to use as much movement as usual, to ramp up the entertainment for the fans. He did. Yes, he allowed Maidana to throw 850+ punches, but he only allowed 25% of the punches to land. Fight fans gotta know the difference between fighting and flailing. The only damage Floyd took was a cut from a headbutt. He handily won this fight, while making it look closer than it actually was. And now he's got everybody clamoring for a rematch with a fighter he could have easily blown out using his normal fighting style. Maidana would/will get RickyHatton'd
next time. Well played, Floyd. Well played.

If this is true, he is a mental masterpiece in the ring, fa real!

People are saying that Maidana won. But, they're only doing that so they can say Floyd lost. No one actually believes he won. Anything that remotely resembled him winning a round past the 6th will be much clearer in a re-watch. I haven't seen so much missing in recent years. Honestly, I expected better of him. He came in with the same strategy to crowd and overwhelm Floyd out the gate like he did Broner. Floyd is too smart a fighter. He let him wind himself in the early rounds, and start sucking in air through his mouth. Then he systematically kept him out of steam with body shots him all night. His punches had no mustard on em after the half. Anyone who thinks the punches against the ropes were effective isn't familiar with boxing. Punches landed on a fighter who uses the ropes as well as Floyd only tire the puncher, while having about 75% of the power absorbed by the ropes. He was only hurt by the low blows and that head butt. He was never in trouble. If he could've timed that check hook a little better Maidana would've hit the canvas. Although I believe he would've gotten up no matter how many times he went down. He's got a lotta heart, but none of these trainers seem to know how to beat Floyd.

All they would have to do is train their fighter to destroy his body, because his head is rarely there to catch anything you throw. And when it is, his shoulder or a glove keeps it from landing flush. Why wear yourself out swinging at what you can't hurt. I would train my fighter to faint in with heavy lateral movement, only swing when in close, and just power shot his arms, chest, stomach and whatever you can hit. Pay special attention to destroying his biceps. Don't miss anymore than 5% of punches. Just wail on him. Sure Compubox won't give credit for most being landed. But if you do that from start through the 6th round, you will see a much different Floyd the second half of the fight. In the 7th, continue but rest,. Do about half of what you've been doing and keep him off the jab so he stays away. Only jab at his head, which will be much more vulnerable now that his arms are hurt. Fight like this until the 9th. In the 9th, go back to work full steam battering his body. Slow down for the 10th through the midway mark of the 11th. Then back at it.

In the 12th, he won't want to come forward, but he has to, because by now he's behind on all the scorecards. Fight smart and evade the first minute. Then attack, beginning slowly, and pick up steam as the last minute begins. In the last 30 seconds beat the ever loving fuck out of him, hitting whatever you can. Sure you probably land between 10 - 30 punches to the head the whole night, but that's great against Floyd. I guarantee a different outcome at decision time. All these fighters trying to knock him out got the whole thing twisted. This is the same type of strategy you would've needed to dominate Winky Wright. But ironically, A fighter with Winky's style would be the perfect choice to beat Floyd.

I don't disagree with you AT ALL, but if it was that "easy", a trainer would have already done it.

Basically, you need a fighter to be the aggressor without making a mistake in any round, against Floyd.........it just ain't in the stars for anybody out there, right now, playa.

Floyd, has had fights when he was at war with his pops..during court battles for domestic violence..during court battles for fights and other various shit..one fight where he knew he was going to jail right after it...and he has remained undefeated through it all. I don't think his twitter moistness is evidence of anything other than some immaturity and possibly hurt feelings over the abortion and split. He's a true pro and doesn't bring the outside world into the fight. He's been doing this shit since he was a teen. I think you just can't prepare for a windmill swinging, axe chop overhand right throwing, rough fighter that comes forward no matter what. You have to go through it and make adjustments...and you may look a little off while you adjust. But that's all it was. IMO

Man, he doesn't even know how to bring other shit into his boxing career which is how he doesn't know how to have real people relationships.
