Yes, I'd go with Mancini too. Maidana is the heavier handed of the two, but thats about itl. Ray had far more skills, was just as strong if not stronger, and the deciding factor... had a much better chin. I think he stops Chino late in a brutal fight, while getting rocked a few times along the way.
I dont know i mean Mancini was the better fighter. But style wise i might go with Maidana. Mancini tended to get hit a little too much and you cant afford to do that against a like Maidana. Mancini had a solid chin but not exactly a great one i mean i had seen him hurt quite a few times, i think Maidana comes from behind to ko Mancini in the mid or late rounds. Like i said earlier Mancini the better fighter but style wise ill go with Maidaina.
Styles make fights Xplosive you should know this. Arguello was a patient fighter who would pick you apart or set you up for the big shot. Maidana is a reckless banger and Mancini was also a straight ahead slugger. Just because Arguello is the much better fighter and harder puncher than Marcos dont mean Maidana would have got to Mancini faster. Anyways im not so adament about Maidana winning this only 55/45. As i said in the other post Mancini is the better fighter but i just think Mancini would run into something big that he wont be able to get out of. I could just as easily see Mancini winning this. Its just style wise id have to lean towards Maidana here.
Hey Bro im not one of these Boxing Noobs who pretend to know boxing Aiiiiiiiiight!!!!! IVe seen the fight numerous times and Mancini was impressive in the losing effort. WHy dont you try watching the first round of the fight with Frias(who dont hit as hard as Maidana) Orlando Romero (hurt him) and so did Greg Haugen. Im not trying to suggest Mancini didnt have a good chin but he could be hurt and having a soso defense to go along with it, doesnt make this a safe fight or some gimme win for Mancini.
We talking 15 rounder? Either way I think Mancini is just cut from a different cloth and would stop him late.
