The growing myth about floyd-maidana I

You are saying it was 9-3 at least, while the official judges had it much closer. (6-6, 8-4, 9-3) You're saying it was 9-3 Mayweather at least, while the official judges had it 9-3 Mayweather at most. Not only that, but the boxing public at large thought it was a very close fight and Mayweather granted Maidana the rematch so he must have thought Maidana did something worthy of a rematch.

Acting like it wasn't a close fight is just silly, but really you are the one in an alternate reality saying that it wasn't close or competitive when one judge had it a draw and the majority of the public public saw it as a close competitive fight. That said, that's not to say that Maidana is a more skilled boxer than Floyd. I don't think anyone's arguing that. Floyd is no doubt a master of the sweet science, but Maidana showed that he has the relentless pressure needed to outwork Mayweather round after round. Floyd will try to counter him with well timed right hands, and the rematch should be good fun.

 

I don't think anyone believes that. Floyd lost the majority of the rounds in the first half of the fight, gave them away by not throwing anything. When the headbutt came I thought he was done, glad he turned it around but it was a rough fight that he won eight rounds to four or seven to five being less generous.

Maidana was not finding much of a target as the fight progressed.

 

nor me, i saw maidana fail to maintain his pace of the early rounds, allowing floyd the breathing space to operate. 8-4 floyd.

 

Unrelenting pressure seem to be Floyds weakness and its a slight weakness. I think its because he chooses to stay against the ropes rather than move, which makes sense due to his age and the fact he doesn't go for KO's so he needs to conserve energy for 12 rounds. Hatton also had a bit of success.

 

It's about a lot of guaranteed $$$$.
Maidana was celebrating with Garcia when they walked back to his dressing room after the fight.

 

Scoring a boxing fight is subjective. Just because you think Floyd won it 10 rounds to 2 doesn't mean that those who saw it closer are in an alternate reality.

Ask yourself : why did Floyd give Maidana a rematch? He doesn't typically give people rematches. The last time he gave someone a rematch was Castillo, right when the public thought Castillo won. Obviously Mayweather thought Maidana was deserving of a re-match. That's not an alternate reality, that's the real reality.

The fight went like this : Maidana won the first half of the fight and Floyd won the second half of the fight. As far as how many rounds you gave to Maidana, that's up to you. I agree that Maidana has to land more clean punches this time around, but still he was overwhelming Floyd for the first 6 rounds. He wasn't landing that many clean punches, but he was bothering Floyd and preventing Floyd from landing punches and when you do that you can win rounds against Floyd. And winning rounds vs Floyd causes Floyd to be uncomfortable and take more risks.

As far as the judges scoring in other fights, sure there are fights where the judges have questionable cards. But I am actually in the minority when it came to Floyd - Canelo. I thought it was even, I actually thought 11 of those rounds were even, and Floyd won one round big. (i think the 7th) That was pretty much how that fight went. Canelo Lara I thought the cards were about right. Canelo won, it was close but Lara ran too much and Canelo landed the harder more crowd pleasing punches. Canelo also didn't get credit for a knockdown that was ruled a slip that would have made it wider for Canelo.

 

I'm not a mexican moron. Are you a *****?

 

Ducked margo ducked what shouldve been his second L against martinez.Miss me with the he beat all the latinos bs.9-3 for floyd? get his cawk out your mouth....

 

ok first of all, assuming that I'm Mexican or from some part of Latin American because agreed with the official scores on Floyd Canelo and Canelo Lara is wrong on so many levels. I'm not even going to justify that with a response as it's just beyond crazy to make that assessment.

Second of all, I LOL at you using robert guerrero as an example of a fight that should have been a draw. No judge scored that fight a draw or even closer than 117-111 (9-3). Frankly that fight I thought was more lopsided in favor of Floyd.

Guerrerro did nothing vs Floyd and that was a walk in the park compared to Floyd's fights with Canelo and Marcos.
