Maidana vs Pacquiao

[beenKOed]

I have not seen the Floyd fight yet, exactly how crap did he look because I would think Manny Pac would beat Maidana with relative ease, yet I think Floyd beats Manny Pac easy.

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.

Just saw the post fight and Floyd said he chose to fight more to entertain the crowd and next time he will box more. Could he be right?

Nobody knows for sure, but the way Floyd was fighting the first two rounds I thought he was playing around, after that it was clear to me he couldn't stay off the ropes. Spending the night on the ropes is not the way Floyd fights, and would not chose to fight in my opinion.
