    LOL! It's funny all the *****s complaining about Maidana's tactics but nothing was said about the excessive holding by Floyd and pushing the head down and the forearms he seems to get away with in every fight.

    If you don't realize that clinches happen when a pure boxer faces a swarmer, then I don't know what to say... Particularly in this fight with Maidana physically draping himself all over Mayweather. All Maidana needed to do was keep a little bit of range between he and Floyd when Floyd elected to sit against the ropes. Instead he lunged onto him; often times with his arms around Floyds' back, head, or waist.

    You must not watch much boxing if you think those are somehow "cheap" or "dirty" clinches.

    Did I say it was dirty? No, Did I say it was excessive holding? Yes, Have we seen fighters have points taken off for holding before? Yes. What I did say was dirty is the forearms to the face that Floyd seems to use a lot.

    Then post GIFs of Maidana landing clean, devastating shots. The ones I've seen have been ho-hum and I had it 7-5.

    I'll acknowledge Floyd uses the forearm to create separation and yes he did clinch more than we've seen in the past but excessive? NO. Those were mild compared to the low blows, rabbit punches, a muay thai knee and a take down by Maidana. Robert Garcia was imploring him to fight dirty and to keep fighting dirty. It's safe to say one side's game plan was to be dirty as possible.

    *****s will defend floyd til the end, they can't accept that there idol got beat up!!! yes floyd landed clean punches but they did no damage! they did not stop maidana from coming forward and bum rushing him all night. watched the fight several times and i scored it 7-5 for maidana. more activity, effective aggression and ring control. he threw floyd off his game, he roughed him up and flustered him all night long.

    did floyd stop maidana from fighting his game plan? did floyd hurt maidana enough to keep him from coming forward? was floyd flustered?

    floyd was roughed up and beaten by a fighter he was supposed to put a clinic on and you know it!

    Then post GIFs. Let's see examples of Floyd getting beaten. Only 8% of the industry thought Maidana won. So I say you're full of sh*t.

    Floyd fought Maidana's fight and beat him.
