Bradley may have landed better shots on Manny than Chino did on Floyd, but round wise he did worse.

Timmy had 2 rounds that were clear as fukk, and two more that could have gone either way. After that he was pretty much shut down. The rounds Maidana clearly lost he was at least competitive in them and moving forward. Bradley on the other hand was getting battered around like some drunk nikka on South Beach. Dude was literally running away at times. Floyd won, but he never put that type of fear or discouragement in Maidana.

This casual told me he has the right to gloat and be arrogant about Floyd's performance against Maidada


I wish I can "ghost dad" some people in here and just punch em in the face as soon as they start typing up some bullshyt


TBE was NOT supposed to be in a close fight with Marcos Maidana....flat out


I wasnt impressed at all with Floyd's performance, because he fought the wrong fight initially, and this is DEFINITELY not the fight to brag about as a Floyd stan. Now in the rematch, he can right his wrongs and put on a Mayweather Boxing clinic like normal. But this 1st fight was a struggle performance for Mayweather until he switched it up in the 6th round and took over.

Like I said before, if that was Manny Pacquiao in a tough fight with Marcos Maidana on Saturday, winning 7 rounds to 5 rounds, people would be saying "Manny's average", "he's done", "etc"

I feel you breh. I try to talk about Floyd as less as possible here cuz nikkas definitely get into their feelings or just spit plain nonsense.

I think Floyd fought that way because Chino made him fight that way. If Floyd could have fought better he should have done so. I think he was surprised dude came at him so aggressively and it took him a lil longer than usual to get his shyt together. I mean don't make a fight closer than it should be and then act surprised that people thought it was a close fight. That's some retard logic.

In all honestly this was Floyd's Rios fight. Yeah Maidana is a lil better than Rios is, but not by that much. He was still a 12-1 underdog. It's unfair to compare this to Pac/Bradley rematch, since Bradley would be better than a 12-1 underdog against Floyd. Rios was a still a big underdog against a Manny that just got KO'ed. Same type of fights really. It's just one pitched a shut out while the other didn't.

Even Breadman had Maidana winning 7 rds to 5, but said a draw or 7 rds to 5 for Floyd was cool.

I hope it's raining where you at and you got the mute button ready and slow motion on deck with Al Greens greatest hits playing in the background breh.

You gotta make sure everything is set up correctly. This way you can come back here having Floyd winning 11 rounds instead of only 7.

I think alot of the floyd stans are acting up because the majority of the world saw it as a close fight, which it was, and Maidana is not seen as an elite or top fighter by most. All those posts saying Maidana would be an easy time and shyt. I found it hilarious reading the posts that happened in the fight thread during the fight. Many of his stans were all and about what they were watching until after the decision. Now they're doing damage control to reassure themselves that Floyd is not starting to show his age and that he fought like he did on purpose to be exciting . It's comedy to me

nikkas was downplaying Chino the whole lead up even tho he earned the shot N was a legit Champ...the fight was goin be boring blah blah blah...we got a good ass fight N nikkas talking bout rewatching 88 times Not for enjoyment but to argue with other nikkas over 1-2 RDS different in views

Breh on Sat nikkas was arguing that my 116-112 card was preposterous because the fight was 115-113

Yea you're right 116-114 or 115-113 Floyd won a pretty good competitive fight no matter how we slice it

 

[King P]

One thing I've noticed is that nikkas don't understand the concept of ring generalship, or put much value into it. Which is why they can't some to understand why people gave Maidana as many rounds as they did.

They have a problem with people giving Maidana rounds because he threw a shytload of punches and missed most of them, but will give Floyd rounds for just blocking/dodging them all and only throwing like 4 or 5 pot shots

One thing that the Maidana fight did, is confirm my beliefs that Leonard and Hearns would beat Mayweather

Amen

Although I didn't need to see Floyd struggle with Maidana to tell me he'd lose to SRL and Hearns.. A lot of cats favor Floyd over Duran(I don't), but after this fight I wouldn't take anybody serious if they didn't at least admit it could be a toss up. Hands of stone is like 3x the fighter Chino is.
