Is it me, or did Broner do better than Mayweather.......

Ok well Maidana has more boxing skill than the typical come-forward brawler. He also was able to dodge punches and make Floyd miss in the first half of the fight. Had he not gotten hit clean with overhand rights in the 2nd half of the fight he could have won the fight. So lets review : Maidana, while not a sweet science technician obviously, while mostly flat footed, he still showed that he has the ability to make guys miss and come back landing punches, which is what you have to do to win rounds vs elite skilled natural boxers like Floyd.

 

Maidana received more damage from a lightweight

 

That's what I have been saying since 2003 regarding a fighter who's capable of troubling Mayweather. A solid wild aggressive fighter with power who keeps coming forward, never stops punching, throws from odd angles and lands anywhere he could find(shoulders, arms..etc) and generally stay in his face all night. Maidana definitely has the style, if only he had the size and stamina he would have won this fight.

 

I agree with the point you made in your opening post thing is most people are constantly in troll mode so sometimes takes them a while to get out of it and have a sensible discussion.

 

I picked mayweather to beat madiana

I picked maidana to beat broner

 

This is some kinda joke lol

 

Maidana 100% received more damage against broner. It's not even debatable IMO.

But most people thought mayweather won so Floyd did better than broner.

 

@6-4 south you don't like the quote feature?

 

I think it's interesting to speculate on how much of an affect the Maidana Vs Broner fight had on the Mayweather one. I think that Maidana gained a lot of confidence from the Broner fight, which he brought into his fight with Mayweather, and a large part of his success was based on the fact that he showed Mayweather absolutely no respect and wasn't overwhelmed by any of it. A big part of his mindset came from the fact that he was able to hurt Broner so badly so even during the times that he was being made to miss and pay by Mayweather, he had confidence to stick to his game plan until the final bell.
