so Mayweather fans would now respect those slow plodding come forward high workrate punching bag fighters now?
Only cos Floyd allows them to hit back. Pac would tattoo Maidana's face he would never be able to get off.
Maidana is better than Rios. Maidana is able to punch on the move and throw weird shots from the outside. Rios just comes forward with his hands up looking to get inside. Rios can't land on you until you stop moving
Rios would beat Maidana though. Rios has an iron chin, Maidana was put down 5 times by Ortiz and Morales had him hurt. They will trade and Rios will win out because of his chin. Rios has lost twice and both due to being outboxed, not outbrawled.
Welterweight resumes: Maidana, 4-1 W's over: Adrien Broner Jesus Soto Karass Josesito Lopez L to: Devon Alexander Rios, 0-0 debut
Maidana is much better then rios. Much quicker throws at weirder angles. With that said pacquiao would not be waiting for him flat footed against the ropes.
Rios wouldn't beat Maidana. Maidana can throw looping shots around Rios's guard like Alvarado did and he has a better jab. Maidana has never out brawled either
This will be a very entertaining fight, but with these 2 come forward fighters..... Rios is tougher, solid chin (never been knocked down), also has power and applies pressure. If Rios defeats Maidana, it will just make Pacquiao better.
