THE OFFICIAL Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana THREAD 5/3 SHOWTIME PPV

[<<TheStandard>>]

Floyd said Cotto was a tougher fight for him........and than Canelo hits harder

 

[Sam Peel]

floyd "canelo hit me with a left hook that i felt, i still feel it"

 

[True Blue Moon]

This is a dope press conference lol

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Real talk tho, Floyd could have lost on a decision

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I can say this, tougher fight than I anticipated because I thought Marcos' will would be broken. Obviously, it wasn't. That said, Floyd looked great today.

Only can Floyd be in a predicament where he's

7 years older than his competitor
outweighed by his competitor by 17 pounds, a two weight class difference
Land over half of his punches 54% to 26%
Land more, cleaner punches than his competitor while throwing exactly half that of his opponent
crazy awkward punching style


Maybe Floyd really is superman. I wanted a stoppage on cuts but I'll give Chino props, he brought the fight to Floyd. Even with all these advantages for Maidana though, Floyd still won clearly

 

[Rev]

I can actually see the judge who had it 117-111...because I really only had maidana convincingly winning rounds 1, 4 & 5.

 

[Grams]

Ariza needs to be investigated :lallana:

How so? Did u not see that the Maidana didn't land anything clean on the ropes?

 

[Spree At Last]

i thought floyd clearly took rounds 6-10, maidana took 11 and 12 was a tossup. maidana took a few of the earlier rounds but they were all close. great fight.

khan looked good out there, ill be watchin his next fight.

 

[seemorecizzy]

floyd dont get enough credit for beating fighters who outweigh him by 15 plus pounds on fight night
this happens almost every fight nowadays

This is the link to the press conference

It's clear these guys are going to have a rematch. Lots of tension in the post fight press conference between the two camps.

Looks like you might be right...

 

[I-Hate-You]

Yeah, pretty much looking like the rematch is a lock. Floyd even speaking about it directly and ignoring Ramadan Khan questions.

 

[UserNameless]

I wanted a stoppage on cuts...

to Floyd's cutman, tho.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

He honestly probably shouldn't be at 147 given how much he hydrates but yeah, to be outweighed by 17 pounds is crazy. I didn't think Marco would go up that high in weight. I was thinking 156 or so. Floyd in there battling someone with two weight classes on them tonight and other nights. This time, he came in there ready to knock his head of. Yes, it did take longer than usual for Floyd to figure our Marcos, but the fact is, he did. Floyd's normal +/- on his fights is that he hits them 24% more of the time. He did 25% tonight. Another day at the office for him. He had to use defense to duck and weave and very few overhand rights really landed on Floyd, Floyd was never in danger of losing his composure. Just because Floyd didn't blow him out doesn't make Floyd beatable now. Maidana made it an ugly fight, he was supposed to but looking at how much more Floyd landed the cleaner shots, this was, once again, Floyd's night. One thing I didn't like was how Floyd kept letting him into the ropes, hoping he'd tire himself out. That didn't happen to the effect that the Floyd camp thought it would. Floyd sat on his punches more but it's clear he couldn't hurt Marcos with face shots but after the 100 punches round one, he only threw 758 for the other 11 so maybe Floyd was giving him something to think about. I don't go around, hoping and waiting for Floyd to take an L so I see this as a great day for him. Closer than what I hoped but hey, style makes fights and Chico was trying to give Floyd a concussion with those shots he was throwing.
