So if floyd stays off the ropes..
Is this rematch going to show us how good floyd CAN be?..or much of the same as the first fight?
If floyd goes back to boxing your looking at a 10-2 performance.
I think maidana will be even more confident this time and Im glad that this rematch was made.
This fight might really show floyds age and could really be the end if the accuracy is out and he cant roll of the shoulder like he used too.
Ah well...only 4 weeks.

Floyd made Maidana miss a ton in the first fight. Maidana fought a rough/dirty fight so it seemed more competitive than it really was. You can bet the bank on the ref not letting him get away with that shit in the rematch. Floyd wins this one EASY.

Part of why I scored Burns Beltran a draw was because of this reason.
Beltran was throwing a ton of punches and landing like none if them, I am not a purist, I don't like random bursts of aimless punches.
This is why I gave Floyd the first fight fairly comfortable.
I see a similar fight, Floyd goes to the ropes a lot and I think he needs that style now, his age may have a little bit to do with that, but I really hope I'm wrong.
Re: So if floyd stays off the ropes..
mATWEATEHR IS OLD NOW, HE CANNOT DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY AND STAY OFF THE ROPES FOR LONG, ESPECIALLY NOT AFTER THE 7TH ROUND. maidana 's punches will be wickeder this time and more accurate. Floyd has aged another 6 months now hasnt he. 6 months is a lot more to age when you are already 37. Floydd will not make it throught this time. I think the REF WILL STOP THE FIGHT FOR MAIDANA ON A 9TH OR 10TH ROUND TKO FOR MAIDANA.
Floyd will get buzzed early in the 10th and will not make it out of the round. No knockdowns or anything but he will be reelin and a-rockin' and the ref will step in.
Re: So if floyd stays off the ropes..
Floyd is slowing down a bit, has he lost that edge is there anybody out there, to finally
beat him,!!! Maidana did take Floyd out of his comfort zone, he can punch but is it enough
it's a good rematch, but I feel Mayweather will win.
Re: So if floyd stays off the ropes..
I think Floyd will sit down on his punches more this time around. He has both underrated power and ability to work the body. 1st fight I remember Floyd Sr telling him to start digging in around the 6th or 7th and that's when the fight started to turn in his favor.
