Maidana never stunned Floyd. It's all about perception and showing aggressiveness, which wins rounds, but it was more evident that Floyd landed the harder, snappier, shots at will. Take out all of the rabbit punches, low blows, clinched body shots and Maidana looks like ****. The cleanest shots he landed were his jabs. Whereas Floyd popped Maidana with straight rights and lefts whenever he felt like it. Clinching and holding does not mean Floyd is losing. Again, clinching and holding does not mean Floyd is losing.
Is that the same Maidana that went life & death with the corpse of Erik Morales? The same Morales who was knocked out twice by Pacquiao? Or the same Maidana who was beat by Alexander who was beat up by Bradley who Pacquiao just dominated?
You got a good boxing mind. That's a hard find on this forum. Gents can't seem to separate boxing from bull****.
Several close rounds. I think this was my card, but I didn't write it down. Had it even after 4 and 8. 1. Maidana 2. Floyd 3. Maidana 4. Floyd 5. Floyd 6. Maidana 7. Floyd 8. Maidana 9. Floyd 10. Floyd 11. Floyd 12. Floyd 116-112 Floyd
115-113 Maidana But there were about 2 swing rounds that you could have scored either way to flip the fight. That judge who had it it 117-111 though...that was just some good old fashion boxing corruption.
Compubox numbers show that Maidana out landed Floyd in 6 rounds. Overall Floyd out landed Maidana by 9 punches. I would say Maidana hits harder and did more damage and, to me, controlled more rounds so I give it to him.
