Floyd was the one holding, not Maidana edit: oh damn, the op is some troll trying to make *****s look bad
Holding when another fighter bullrushes you head first? Lol @ you idiot. It's called protecting yourself. If Maidana actually had boxing skills and not this wrestling crap in his arsenal this would a much better boxing match.
so when Povetkin came in lower and was also 6' smaller than Wlad its wrong to hold but Maidana does it against a guy the same height as him and when he holds its called protecting yourself and is smart hahaha
Key word: boxing. Maidana wasn't doing that, but claiming he did try to actually box on the inside suite your argument I guess. Lol @ this idiot.
It's the pros. You do what you can get away with, Mayweather also thinks its a wrestling match in that case, he was full of 'wrestling' tactics himself.
yeah those shots that made Floyd **** his pants are not part of boxing got it log out and come back when your sober or less stupid ok?
no but in general Wlad gets crucified for holding and when Mayweather or Hopkins do it ,its considers skillful excessive holding is illegal but in both cases a fighter was coming in low so they have to be given some allowance for it its not like Ward-Kessler where he was just throwing a punch then coming in loooking for a clinch everytime but still the ref should have done something
Lol @ this idiot. What shots? WHAT shots. Throwing Wild punchens that doesn't even hit, rabbit punches made Floyd **** his pants? Lmao what a clueless fool you are. The only thing Maidana controbution with by doing that ALL while going head first was spoling the fight. I guess that's the only thing you can do when being a limited fighter. But lol @ people saying that was enough to beat Floyd :rofl
