Thread: Floyd got hit last night and was hurt!

... the shots from Maidana hurt Floyd. He wasn't himself after the fight. It wasn't just the fact that he was somber, but he actually showed the effects of being hit one or two times by Maidana.

Maidana has some scary power. If he cant take Maidana's power, then he certainly can't take Manny's power and accuracy- a power and accuracy superior to that of Maidana.

Watch the post fight interview if you don't understand what I am telling you. Bloody, with a dazed and shot look.

For Sure!! he had to have help to get back to dressing room after the fight, watch it again. he was hurt a few times, but his employee, the ref, gave him the time he needed each time. what a good friend.

End of the 3rd round he got hit hard on the chin and was shook, but other than that I did not see too many clean punches land on him.


Not that he landed a whole hell of a lot of clean shots himself.


A lot of posing, running, clinching and one shot at a time.

Only time he looked hurt was at end of the 3rd and we will never know how hurt he was as it was right on the bell. I think he's got a solid chin as long as he stays at 147 no body will stop him

That punch did hurt Floyd, no doubt, and he was cautious in the next round. He was pretty much the same Floyd post fight, he's not nearly as cocky or dismissive of his opponents as he used to be, in my opinion.
If Floyd was hurt as much as you guys are saying throughout the fight, are you going to give him any props for staying in there and pretty much stifling Maidana's attempts to get anything started.
When you say Floyd wasn't hitting Maidana with accurate and clean shots it makes me think we were watching different fights.
The thing you should be excited about is that Floyd was getting in some clean right hands and uppercuts with little effect on Maidana. Floyd also landed some good shots to the body.
I'm not a big Floyd fan, he was definitely holding too much, and I can see where people would say he was running, but if you want to be taken seriously you have to give credit to Floyd what he does in the ring. He always figures out a way to win.

I believe my assessment was fair and I stand by it.

That fight wont happen they both got their reasons to avoid.But Manny is more of an erratic fighter,he is all out and hits harder for sure, hits on the move and comes firing out of evasive angles too, he isnt what he used to be either and would have to try and finish a hard job fast,he wouldnt have the same skill to go the long road.I could not see Floyd falling into any fast traps off someone not setting one up over time.

He definately looked worn out just like in their first fight, probably because of age.

If people complained about this last performance with all the clinching and pot shots, we'll be in for much of the same stuff in his next two fights, though I'm sure he can still outbox less awkward fighters with ease. It's just Maidana's (or any strong fighter's) rough play that seems to be too hard to handle at this stage.

Maidana was able to hustle floyd and hit him for the simple reason he has a fantastic chin.
Not sure PAC can rush in and not get countered , let us not forget PAC doesn't like slick counter punchers , and he is unlikely to rush in to take a shot to land a shot , like maidana did.
Let's make the fight and see what happens.

When you compare their faces after the fight it would appear Maidana was a clear winner. Floyd was marked up and looked his age. Good result considering the margin he won by but by his own standards it wasn't impressive. Caught by jabs hit regularly and was physically damaged after boxing on the backfoot all night. maidana came forward but wasn't a mark on him

Floyd could learn a thing or two from Hopkins on how not to get hit and evolve his style to suit his age. Two fights left for Floyd and he needs to carry on cherry picking cuz if he picks the wrong fight he could lose

Two fights.

Name the two most dangerous realistic opponents that could beat Floyd.

There was Canelo and that turned in to a master class by floyd.

Maidana lost that fight. Lost that fight because from the beginning he didn't come to fight as he did in the first fight. Mayweather was there to being swarmed at times and he lost it... but, Mayweather was moving around the ring. So Maidana possibly couldn't catch him the way he could have.

Hats off to Mayweather. Still ducking Manny, but hats off to him.

Floyd had a fat lip and looked tired but it could be because Maidana weighed heavier at 154lb?
