Maidana can't throw one punch according to law. It's that kinda fighter who uses a technique which is similar to boxing but more based on discharging power fast like hammering and clubbin. Floyd will not be hit clean once in this fight just to show ya how stupid Broner was and how stupid this fight is.
I like Maidana's combinations, some of that stuff against Broner was beautiful, but Floyd will likely keep him too off balanced to throw anything like that.
err....okay. I think you'll be taking down a lot of names in that case. And after the fight we can argue about the definition of a clean solid shot. BTW I hope I'm as wrong as you think I am, I would love to see Mayweather in a competitive fight but Maidana isn't the one for that.
:bart:bart:bart that is not what is being discussed here. You and many more are saying Maidana wont even land ONE CLEAN SHOT. Thats about it.
I see you have a fighters mindset. Prepare to be one hell of a busy guy here at ESB. So IF Maidana lands 1 clean shot, then it is not the mismatch that 80% of posters thought it would be? Geez I'm worried you might get this one right. Really going out on a limb saying " yes! Maidana will land 1 clean shot." So if he lands 2 clean shots ydksab? Or maybe you're saying he will land at least 1 clean shot? Just how many clean shots will he land oh great kreskin?
Well yeah. Unless Unless they knocked the opponent out with the first punch thrown in the fight, no one has ever been in a fight and didn't get a single punch landed on them. This is just silly.
He obviously will land some shots. Usually FLoyd's opponents average around a 17-21% connection rate against him. Maidana is slow and wide with his punches, flat footed and doesn't move his head at all. I'd imagine his connection rate will probably be a little lower than FLoyd's average fights, probably around 14-17%.
Agree, that is why Mayweather chose the ''champion'' Maidana, Like you said Maidana is slow, wide with his punches, FLAT FOOTED and doesn't move his head at all. deal
Anyone can list a whole bunch of negative qualities in a fighter. It's about how they use them, though. And Maidana has proven against good comp that he can make for wars and often times win them with the tools he has got.
