Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Rene Maidana II RBR

Don't bother trying to come up with another name for them. I haven't trademarked mine. Anyone can use that. It's free.

 

fat Dan has his mouth securely around Floyds d!ckatsch:yep

 

Floyd got buzzed at the end of the third, legs stiffened when he sat down....at that point and onwards I thought Floyd might get stopped. He won the right but even he doesn't look pleased.

First thing he must do is get his pops out the corner, he can assist on defence on training but damn there is zero instruction coming from the corner at times...Im no expert on boxing but I'm sure he should have q comprehensive idea of what round they're in....end of the 10 snr didn't have a clue what round it was LOOOL

 

People need to realize that the Associated Press's score card is consistently the best media score card. Again, tonight they are 100% right: 117-110 Floyd.

This was the same fight as Mayweather vs Canelo

 

Mickey Bey IBF champ...SURPRISE!:happy

get a professional translator with no bias next time showtime

 

Yeah they are paying Floyd so much they had to let their translator go

 

favorite part was mayweather telling maidana where his corner was.

Maidana missed a flurry, Mayweather clinched and looked at the clock, and the fight ended seconds later.

This fight was obviously nowhere near as compelling as the first one was. Maidana had gotten his tactics right in the first fight, trying to pressure Mayweather inside and rough him up, although his workrate tailed off in those later rounds. He came in leaner for this fight, and I expected him to have improved stamina to better pressure Mayweather inside for the entire fight. However, Mayweather made a particular effort in this fight to move around the entire ring, and while Maidana followed him around, he did not show any particular urgency in pressing the attack, perhaps a misguided attempt to better pace himself for the full 12 rounds, and he hardly got inside at all to pressure Mayweather. The few times he did get in close, Mayweather was quick to clinch, and referee Bayless was just as quick to break the clinches, preventing Maidana from doing much extra work in close. Bayless meant well, but his performance in this fight was mediocre, as his being so quick to break clinches made him seem far too influenced by the first fight, and surely wrecked whatever chance Maidana did have in this fight. The clinches were also numerous enough that Bayless should at least have given Mayweather a formal warning. Bayless also took far too long a timeout in the 8th when Mayweather claimed he was bitten; although I had no problem with him checking the glove, once he found nothing the fight should have immediately resumed. In addition, the point deduction against Maidana was very soft. Mayweather, for his part, showed he still has his hand and foot speed intact, he varied his attack to the head and body, he showed good ring movement, and he showed his defensive skills are pretty much intact, although he got hit cleanly with a few hard shots, too many by his own admission. Mayweather paced his offensive output more slowly than in the first fight, throwing exactly 100 fewer punches than in that fight, but again as in the first fight he was very efficient, landing more than 50% of his total punches and power punches. Maidana, due to Mayweather's ring movement and his own lack of pressure, threw almost 300 fewer punches than in the first fight, and landed almost 100 fewer. Still, while not nearly as compelling and entertaining as the first fight, this was still a worthy fight, as Maidana definitely deserved the rematch based on the first fight, and it was very interesting to see Mayweather approach only the second rematch of his career. Mayweather said postfight that he plans to next fight in May, and it was gratifying that he sounded at least somewhat open to a possible Pacquiao fight, given that right now there is no other obvious deserving candidate for that fight.
