as a floyd fan, id say he was looking about 50-60 percent tonight

BIG SHOCK... after the canelo fight i thought there was NO CHANCE a guy like maidana could even make this competitive, i knew hed come to fight and rough him up with low blows and such but i thought floyd would just adjust after 3 rounds and school him to a UD or late stoppage

.his balance tonight seemed SO BAD. he reminded me of tim bradley at times

.he was no where near as fast, though he made up for it with his ring IQ in the middle rounds really starting to time maidana in the centre of the ring occasionally using the pull counter

. he seemed to be loading up an awful lot on shots.. maybe it seems that way because those shots would usually land for the mayweather of old, i knew he had lost a step but comparing this to his last performance id say he is VERY VULNERABLE TO A YOUNG SMART BOXER to beat him

alot of people say you cant outbox floyd and this may have been true back when he was prime but i think that is the way to beat him now, id almost gaurentee you if he had chosen khan he would have lost tonight.

with 2 or 3 fights left on his contract after tonight i went from saying there is no way anyone would beat him to, he will most likely take a loss before his career is over. at 37 years old it was bound to happen

 

you can find the punch stats .. apparently floyd landed at 52%... sure looked alot less then that

 

100% and im the "*****tard" jesus... atsch

 

i promised my mates that i watched the fight with "I BET YOU HE WALKS MAIDANA DOWN, HE WONT STAY ON THE BACK FOOT FOR LONG"

but he kept doing it.. during the middle rounds he stayed off the ropes and was beating maidana around putting on a clinic. when he walked maidana down he was having success and this is floyd we are talking about, if anyone is great at making adjustments its floyd, but in the last few rounds he goes back to the ropes ?... i kind of believe him when he said he made it a competitive fight for the fans because the floyd we all know would have just tied and turned maidana or bounced off the ropes and swept under. i did not see any evidence of maidana attempting to nullify that. but even int he center of the ring floyds speed was clearly lacking, maidanas not exactly a quick fighter and his success with a timed punch like the pull counter was alot less then usual
