The Boxing Thread

Maidina lost. There is no bullshit in the results. It was very visible after the 6th round that Maidina burned out or Mayweather just adjusted at max.

Nevertheless, that fight was fucking close. I honestly would give it a draw if i had any biases towards Maidina but i think Maidina being a slight point below was just right.
Best fight in a long time.

And of course “THOSE” people waste no time crying robbery LOL! Quit crying and just be prepared for the inevitable ride of the next hopefuls nuts haters. 46-0. Deal with it. #EasyMoney

Nah, Maidana’s shots didn’t hit cleanly enough, some on the arm, some of the shoulder. There were too many times where Floyd tagged Maidana right on the chin with his right. Maidana’s fighting, while good in his intention, really devolved towards rushing throwing a few punches to his glove, arm, shoulder then clinching (and he got tagged to many times in the process).

Floyd basically let Maidana come to him, and punished him with the assist where he whiffed/could roll cancel/or used something that wasn’t safe on block.

The last two judges made it seem like Maidana got knocked down every round, you can’t say it was close and agree with the results of the last two

Maidana definitely tired but he pressured most of the fight. If judges make discussions on how tired a fighter looks then I don’t know what to say

Funny thing is De La Hoya saying he has the strategy to beat Mayweather, Maidana closely emulated how Oscar fought him and Maidana loses also…

Maybe if one of these genius coaches payed attention to Mayweather’s defensive movements/patterns in certain situations…

The fight was that close that anybody would be pissed the fuck off from hearing Maidina lost. I am. Ever since the start of round 1 where Maidana started barraging, i was routing all the way but just to be fair when 7th round came in, Maidina was obviously burned out or Mayweather just did some adjustment Paradigm Shift FFXIII because he really came back.

The fight was the best fight i have seen in a while. The clown entrance, watching a fight between brawler and a scientist, both nearly getting shoved off the ring. That was a real fight and Mayweather haters got to see how Mayweather does in a REAL FIGHT. Mayweather fans also need to admit that Mayweather almost lost.

A rematch has to happen and i don’t want it to be next year.

Watching FOX deportes looks like possible gunfire outside the MGM Grand, bunch of people were running back in.

If the punch totals given by the broadcast crew are to be believed, there were enough close rounds with only a few landed punches separating both fighters that the scores could change. 116-112 wasn’t too far off, maybe too generous for Floyd. Announcers had it between 2-3 rounds up for Floyd, probably about right. Just a matter of whether you give Maidana one or two of those closer late rounds.

Even still, Floyd figured him out and won late. That much isn’t being disputed unless you’re a blind hater. And I do dislike Floyd as a person immensely. But I’m not blind, he clearly won more of the late rounds.

That clown entrance though… oof! that was reaaaaalllly creeeppy

It wasn’t a robbery. Floyd won, but the winning scorecards were LOL! Mayweather clearly won because the rounds he won decisive, but it was a still a very close fight. Anyway there will be a rematch. Mayweather was thrown slightly off guard by Maidana’s over hand right and odd angles (same to what he did to Broner last December) but Mayweather turned the tide at mid fight via his insane accuracy and deciding to take the lead instead of always waiting for the counter.

He was like, “Nahhh son not on Money Mayweather’s show”

The fight was definitely in Floyd’s favor, BUT damn if you’re gonna rig a fight make the scorecard more believable.

not a robbery but a close fight. judges cant get anything right

maidana didnt even look like he ever got hit

lmfao@ the internet calling robbery. how do you have a “robbery” in a close fight. also lololol @ rigged.

broner is allowed to talk shit since his last asswhoopin he took

So he’ll rematch Maidana and the same thing will happen. Another convenient way to avoid/delay the Pacquaio fight.

i had the fight 7-5 for floyd, i could see it 8-4 like one of the judges had it as well depending on how you scored the first round. really good fight, reminded me a lot of the de la hoya with a lot of pressure and punches thrown in the corner from maidana, but not much landing. i think a rematch would end in KO or UD for floyd based off how the later rounds went once floyd adjusted.

the only way to beat floyd is to come in heavy, push him into the corner, flurry and hope the judges reward your effort and ignore all of the missed punches.

i don’t think khan is ready.

lol @ broner calling out pacquiao. ANYBODY CAN GET IT!

good entertaining fight. maidana brought the pressure and looked good but i think the lasting image of this fight is maidana being energetic but sloppy against the ropes in the beginning and floyd landing flush hard clean shots in the middle to late rounds.

7-5 floyd imo. you can make a case for 8-4 or even 6-6 depending on a few rounds that went either way, like 2 and 10.

The stats speak for themselves. Mayweather landed 231 power punches to Maidana’s 221, and at a 65% accuracy compared to Maidana’s 34%. Maidana won 4 rounds but after the 4th round it was all Floyd. Maidana looked like he was in a street fight, 5 low blows, 8 or more punches behind the head and I seen that dude even using his knees LOL! Plus Floyd actually stayed in the the pocket and fought… He could have just stayed on the outside like he normally does and picked Maidana apart… It was the style of the fight that made it interesting and got all these casuals shouting “robbery”.

edit:
Also, here are the official scorecards for the hardcore.

I think it was in tenth round or so, Maidana straight up tackled this dude almost out the ring, pffhahahaha

I dont believe floyd “did it on purpose”. Why go through the effort to make this fight so entertaining when you were complaining about his gloves?

Floyd won, but all the sandbagging shit he claims after every fight is yawnville

Double leg wasn’t that good.

I was rooting for Chino and was very impressed by him but I’m not blind. I thought Mayweather edged him out in the mid-to-late rounds (although gave the 12th to Maidana). Maidana is relentless
