Wrong. Mayweather held 22 times in rounds 1-6. Mayweather held 48 times in rounds 6-12. So without doing any further ****ysis, that's a 118% increase over the latter part of the fight. Explain how you believe this indicates Floyd's legs are not shot.
People are arguing that it's not illegal when you throw a punch first are on the wrong track. THE MAJORITY OF THE CLINCHING in this FIGHT was DONE WITHOUT a punching BEING THROWN FIRST. So victor, once again proves he's an imbecile. All you had to do was watch the video, and you would have easily proved that rich boy easy life idiot wrong, who also lives in the home of the original f aggot and voted YES on GAY S EX!!!
No he will move on with his life which is something I hope you and many others like you can also do as well. Or will you continue to scour the TMZ pages in a hope for that one day you will find something to cry about.
give me a reason Floyd had to clinch 70 times? Isn't he the best P4P fighter? with greatest technical skills ever? with fast feet and impeccable footwork? so what is he doing groping Maidana like this all fight? grabbing his arms? hugging him? ' clearly, Floyd went into this 2nd fight with a strategy of clinching and not even allowing Maidana to throw as often as he wanted to. This was just terrible.. These tactics, along with the running should really be discouraged. You all have to understand that many watch Floyd thinking he is the face of boxing; they learn from him. Non-boxing fans get to watch hugging and running, how are they supposed to get into the sport? Floyd fans won't care, as long as he wins but then you have fighters learning from Floyd and he's making this clinching business popular. Klitschko should be penalized too but at least Klitschko offsets the holding by delivering blows and KO'ing opponents. Floyd combines hugging with running and feather punching. He used to be a much better boxer, what he displayed in his last two fights was just very very unimpressive. Judges really need to pay closer attention to these runners and huggers, they cannot be winning fights like this.
[YT]F17TZQMRtuY[/YT] watching this video has got me concerned that pac is going to get hugged and kissed to a ud loss.
if he gets hurt early, he certainly will try... Some will tell you that Pac's quickness can avoid it. Let's just hope Floyd keeps the running and hugging to a minimum. I actually think it's more advantageous to clinch a shorter fighter with less reach so if anything, Floyd may try doing it more than usual. Klitschko said that when he fights shorter fighters, clinching is almost natural to him... The shorter fighters try to rush in and he grabs them to avoid getting hit on inside. Given Pac is shorter guy with less reach, Floyd may very well use clinching upon Pac getting inside.
Floyd certainly hugged maidana alot in this fight. He will do the same with pac once pac started hurting him. Floyd's first impulse is to run.

So if someone clinches a lot on one out of 40+ fights, that person will be known as a habitual clincher? If out of 40+ fights you had 1 incident with gloves, dies that mean you complain all the time about gloves and worried about future opponents? Giving one example out of damn near 50 fights does not warrant much concern.. People are even saying he's going to sucker punch Pac...smh One example...
lol, all i read was 'Floyd holds, Floyd runs Floyd holding again' What really amazes me is how Floyd almost always wins rounds where he doesn't do a darn thing! Round 1 of Floyd vs Maidana 2 is a prime example. Floyd didn't do SH T but run, hold... NOTHING. Yet when bell sounds, you hear commentators say 'round for floyd' WHY? Why da fukk is it round for floyd? Here;s the how judges should score ALL rounds. If Floyd does nothing but run, hold whilst opponent is chasing him (even if he also doesn't land)..it's automatic 10-9 for opponent. Now if Floyd runs, holds but also lands good shots whilst opponent doesn't, round for Floyd. The point being is all ALL ELSE HELD EQUAL, fighter pressing action gets round by default. The running, hugging, defensive fighter can only win rounds if he lands more, period. You cannot give Floyd Mayweather any f round if he's the reason there is no action and he doesn't land a punch. These rounds should ALWAYS go to the guy trying to make the fight. Who gives a s hit if Floyd looks good dancing, this is boxing, noir ballet.
i think the key is, as he ages... he may be going to the clinch more often. This is a perfect way to defuse fighters pressuring him without having to run. If you time the minutes lost due to holding, it was significant... times floyd used as breaks and to frustrate Maidana.
I think he was clinching because of what happened in the first fight.. He didn't even clinch much at all in the first fight.. He let Maidana lay on him.. He felt the punches was dirty, do he clinched to avoid that.. I think he also clinched to take away the only thing Maidana had going for him and why people felt it was close or he lost...
This is you just talking out of your butt.. Floyd doesn't clinch much at all besides Maidana 2.. He also out land his opponents while throwing less so that debunks the running claim.. If he hits you and his opponent can't hit him back, why shouldn't he win? If he runs because he runs and don't do anything, why don't other fighters run more often? I'm not sure if how hard or how fast you hit someone without getting hit matters.. As long as it's happening...
