You are wrong, Floyd will be on his bike, which is what he should have done in the first fight, and win 10 rounds.
Sounds good. Just don't put any money on it! Floyd by wideUD
3 DAYS AGO i PREDICTED ON ONOE THREAD HERE IT WOULD BE A 10TH ROUND STOPPAGE, fLOYD swould be standing but the ref will stop it as he will be standing unconsciouslyQuote:

giving maidana the rematch was not smart. I see the possibility of floyd getting caught. he should've just taken the win and went on to diffrent opposition. What he is doing is giving maidana another 12 rounds to go for the knock out. Maidana is like no other boxer he really has no respect for mayweather and will be going in for the kill. Now if mayweather doesn't get caught I see him getting the decision again but I don't think it'll be easy like everyone thinks it's going to be. It will be similar to the first fight.
let us hope and pray floyd gets ko'ed brutally. but with the judges, venue and boxing world in your pocket, a KO is the only way maidana will win.
First fight I saw Floyd truly getting old, not fight 3 minutes a round in the last few, very happy to spoil, left hand looking a little shot at times, roughed up and not happy at times.
Father time is well and truly in the other corner now and will only held Maidana.
If Maidana had any sense, he'd aim to take the middle rounds off. Sear Floyd in a hot pan for the first 4 rounds, leave Floyd on a low heat to reduce down for the next 4 then put back on the hob to burn to a crisp.
Seriously though - Maidana doesn't have great conditioning himself, if he wants to finish real strong, he'll need to find away to take a break, make Floyd use his legs and make Floyd's adjustment faze work against him.
The thing is with Floyd, when you take breaks with him and back off, he gets on a mega roll, racks up points, and you never get back into the fight. Mosely tried that.Quote:

Floyd is pissed off, he was going to show Broner how to kick Maidana's butt and walked into a punching machine. Maidana embarrassed him and now he wants some payback.Quote:

The hate is strong! Maidana ain't knocking shit out. Outside of the ref allowing his dirty/rough house tactics...he has no chance.
Floyd will make suitable adjustments, might not be the entertaining. However the scorecards will by a UD
A few points to consider:
1) Floyd does better in rematches, as evidenced in his fight vs Castillo.
2) Floyd is very smart and will insist on a ref who will focus on Maidana and make him less effective by not allowing him to maul.
3) Floyd has seen Maidana for 12 rounds and seemed to figure him out by the later rounds. This doesn't bode well for Marcos.
Maidana will always be tough because he fights aggressively and at a ridiculous pace. He will always tire, not because he isn't in shape but because NO ONE can EVER sustain that pace and physicality for long. Look for Floyd to weather the early storm before coming on strong in the latter half to have Maidana holding on to reach the final bell, or possibly be disqualified. Floyd is just too good and on another level from Maidana. No one at 147 except Manny stands a realistic chance of beating him. Before anyone says or asks, I make Manny the underdog in that fight, but possibly higher ranking historically than Floyd at this point. Tough calls.
That's a bold prediction, given the fact that Maidana wasn't really able to land clean head shots or hurt Floyd in the first fight, and that Floyd is likely to make the necessary adjustments to not get hit as much.
I hate this Floyd will make adjustments bullshit. It's all bullshit. Let Maidana hit him in the face at this weight with the punchers gloves he wished to have, before Floyd cried like a little bitch about it.Quote:

Probably but Floyd will pay him loads not to wear those gloves and win a shut out.Quote:

I'm not so sure that there is any conclusive evidence that Floyd does better in rematches. One rematch against the same fighter using the same fight plan doesn't make that point. Castillo didn't have any reasons to change is fight plan because he won the first fight just not on the judges cards. Floyd fought smarter in the second fight making adjustments to his fight plan about not getting hit as much playing to what the judges looked for in the first fight. We don't have any idea if Maidana can make adjustments and come back with a more effect fight plan because he's not done that before. It goes more about his preparation for the rematch and weather or not he can stick to a new plan.Quote:
