MM 10 9 10 9 10 9 9 10 9 9 10 10 FM 9 10 9 10 9 10 10 10 10 10 9 9 Floyd landed heavy solid blows and marcos brought the pressure .. I didn't care for how the ref did his job by not taking a point away for all the **** marcos did
YOu thought Marcos won the last 2 rounds? That seems inaccurate IMO. Floyd landed the much cleaner shots both rounds and fought the majority of both in the center of the ring/away from the ropes. He was also putting his jabs well in the latter rounds. Interestingly I gave Floyd the 3rd and Marcos the 4th.
Nobody is talking about a 37 year old fighter being stronger in the later rounds,that's why I want a rematch.
My thing about Marcos is the only shots he was landing cleanly in the fight were bodyshots, which i thought he did a great job with for about the first 5 rounds. He didn't land anything upstairs aside from illegal chopping overhands to the back of FLoyd's head. Maidana probably threw over 25-30 of those punches and I was surprised he never received at least a hard warning for it let alone a point deduction (also could've been called for 1 for his lowblows.) He should be thanking Mayweather for making the fight tougher than it should've been. Floyd voluntarily decided to fight good portions of the first 5 rounds or so on the ropes. It wasn't like Marcos was pinning him on the ropes and not allowing FLoyd to side step him, FLoyd just decided to stay on the ropes and allow Marcos to throw at him. I don't know what his thinking process was behind that, maybe to gas out Maidana for the last 6 rounds. I personally had it 8-4, but you could make a case it was 9-3 if you think Mayweather did enough in round 4 (headbutt round) to warrant 10 points for it. If FLoyd fought Maidana the same exact way he fought Guerrero, where FLoyd utilized his lateral movement anytime he was pinned on the ropes, than this would've been a whitewash. He fought stupidly for the 1st 4-5 rounds and adjusted very well for the latter half of the fight and took command of it with his jabs and staying more in the center of the ring. Still, it was a tough and competitive fight for the first 6 rounds. Probably the closest first 6 round fight for FLoyd since Hatton or DLH.
No it wasn't at all. Chino landed very few punches round 1, 4 and maybe 5 have to watch that round again. Putting your head down and throwing punches is why chino lost. Floyd outlanded chino with cleaner punches
I had it 7-5, although it could have been a draw or a wider Floyd win, maybe even a Maidana win, rounds were close.
People are giving chino Ricky gat ton credit. Chino smothered much of his work, just throwing like that in the early rounds is why he lost.
The 11th and 12th were extra my close and floyd spent a fair share of his time with his back on the ropes At the end of the day, it's a judgement call by fallables
