Everything that needed to be said in this thread has been said. No one is a hypocrite because no one expected him to quit, to completely give up, like he did. And then he did the post fight interview...
Maidana is rugged, tough as nails, explosive accurate sneaky stuff. A little sloppy and a tad crude when he's at the tail end of a combo or trying to clean up, but his leads are grade A. An elite level fighter who knows how to set things up and feint could take him apart, but he's not for the weak hearted. Clearly.
