I think people are under estimating what Maidana did. The fight looked as you would expect with Maidana coming out like a bull in a china shop. The difference was when Floyd started landing flush shots he stayed with the bull in a china shop mentality. Most guys don't like those flush shots and they hesitate. You could feel that night of your life nothing is stopping me energy from Maidana. I thought Floyd was a little off. In the first there was an spot where Maidana was wide open, Floyd went to hit him but he was a bit late so he stopped and he almost stumbled. It just wasn't that normal grace. There were moments throughout the fight he looked just a bit off. I think he thought the fight would follow the normal script and accidentally ended up in a fight, couple that with a cut and he was a little shook. It's tough to gauge how much of that Maidana created and how much was Floyds fault. Hence the need for a rematch. But make no mistake it was a special performance by Maidana. He was willing to be great, he just came up a touch short.
