Showtime/Boxnation- Mayweather v Maidana -Saturday Night FIGHT CHAT THREAD

Great fight, I'm eating crow big time and I didn't even see the first three. Floyd looked a lot more like himself in the 6th and 7th, Maidana is turning it up again though. This guy has actually improved so much as a boxer. Floyd took that low blow personally, this is awesome:cool:

Maidana damn out jabbed him in 8th, stifled his attack off ropes! I have seen Hell freeze over..

Strong comeback from Maidana. 6-2 up. This is a great effort, but I worry about the cards.

i got maidana up by a few rounds to bad hes never ever gona get a fair shake, weeks doin a consisten job tho being equally ignorant of both fighters pleas haha

Maidana slowing. Crowd has been prawn sandwich brigade all night.

maidana blocks punches "wow look at those punches landing clean"

Good Mayweather round, sharper punching. 6-3 Maidana.

Maidana has no chance of winning if he doesn't punch. He needs to stay active. That was not a good round for Maidana

hes actually lost in the 6th by ko on the cards

Maidana can't stand in the centre of the ring and box with him, Floyd'll just potshot him on his own pace; Maidana must keep that pressure on him, crowd him to the ropes, keep workin' him over hittin' him anywhere.

Maidana did some great work early on but I think Mayweather has taken over.

Couldn't see that round properly. No idea how that one went. :(

hopefully maidana saved a bit for these last two rounds and goes balls out cause i got him up and worst a draw for him but judges dont

Surprised by Maidanas hand speed frankly, that whip left upper-hook needs to ne put in overdrive here. He needs a KO, make no mistake

I made the analogy of Lamotta/Robinson trying to show that the possibility existed for an upset but never actually thought it possible.

@Spicoli my theory is not holding much water
