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

Stylistically Khan should cause Floyd more problems than Collazo, but I didn't like what I saw. It was spoiling and he should have lost several points and been docked first which would have made it more of a fight. Cheating should never be excused. Clinching is only to survive, not as a technique to earn paydays.

Its true.

Far too much holding.

I know I sound like I am moaning, but I just want to see clean, fair fights. Would it be okay for a police officer monitoring traffic to take a break every few minutes? Would it be okay for a teacher to answer the phone and leave the class every time they get a message? No. Clinching, like taking a break, and answering the phone is for emergencies only when you are doing a job and so Khan loses marks. You don't deserve a payday from slacking and bending the rules.

I hope Maidana knocks Floyd out so that Khan gets flashbacks and the chills. However, I don't think Maidana will land easily as Khan is far more porous defensively.
