but it'll be interesting to see none the less
peace
Baldomir is big enough, strong enough, and has good enough conditioning and chin to pull off a major upset, wish he would but at the same time would rather have the Golden Boy knock Mayweather off of his pedestal
mayweather is going to win no doubt about it. if he loses i will be total shocked. actually everyone would be shocked
I think the interesting thing about this fight is that this is the first fighter PBF has fought since the first JLC fight that has the strength to take PBF out of his game plan. Now whether he has enough ability too we will see, but if Baldomir can find the way to impose his size then he can make it very interesting.Quote:

I read training notes from Steve Kim(or someone)over at Maxboxing and they said Baldo looked heavy handed,but looked like he was plodding along,no great speed whatsoever and just was generally unimpressive.
That may have been good enough to beat a an unfocussed,lacluster Judah and a beaten up C minus fighter like Zab but we are talking about P4P number 1 talent wise in the world,you need more than just heart and a good chin. Baldo's timing has been great,he's made his $$ but NO WAY does he beat PBF,most of us want to see him slap Floyd around but it jsut won't happen.
he is the fist real welter weight floyd has faced, so he might be too strong. but i think mayweather will box his way to a wide UD
It's not impossible for Baldomir to win, but highly unlikely. If Floyd comes in totally unprepared and fools around too much...Baldomir could catch him with something. But Floyd is too smart for that. He is gonna dance all night and pick him apart. If Baldomir tries to chase Floyd all night, he will run out of gas. Floyd is just too quick in this matchup. If Baldomir is somehow able to cut off the ring and wear Floyd out...he could potentially KO him...considering his strength advantage. I just don't see it happening though. I personally can't stand Floyd...so I hop Baldo can pull off the upset.
Baldo has a chance if he makes it a rough fight, and the ref allows it. He's got to smother PBF and keep from being held. Push him into the ropes, hit him while tied up, etc... That's his chance. It's possible, but unlikely. I think Baldo's chance is much better than any of the fights PBF has taken in the recent past. It should be entertaining.
I would disagree, I think that Judah had a better chance than Baldo does now.Quote:

Baldo is big and strong and a hard worker, if he can push PBF around and wear him down, then he's got a shot. I didn't even really think Judah deserved the fight when Baldo just put a beating on him. I think the only reason Zab didn't get stopped is because PBF is friends with him, and the nutshot...... I highly doubt that PBF will stop Baldo, it will be a decision cause Baldo is very durable and will come in good shape.Quote:

Floyd is far too skilled and slick for him. But I truly hope he pulls off the upset.
if mayweather loses
the whole boxing world will be turned upside down
Baldomir has a chance.....He could do it....If it was not for the speed factor I would actually pick him but I think he is just to slow
:coolclick: Agreed.Quote:

i wouldnt be shocked, especially after the way baldomir handled zab. baldomir walks around as anywhere from middle weight to light heavy weight when he's not training. he's just so much bigger naturally and should pressure and bully mayweather right from the start, non-stop like how glen johnson fought against jones jr. on the other hand, i kinda see this fight becoming much like jones jr vs ruiz.Quote:

Prediction for me is Mayweather to KO Baldomir in the 11th or 12th round
