I watched this fight again in high quality yesterday. 1st time I scored it 7-5 for floyd but after seeing it again I had it 9-3 for floyd. There were quite a lot of close rounds but maidana just didn't land very many good clean punches, aggression is great but it has to be affective, how anyone can think maidana won that fight is seriously crazy
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I actually rewatched the fight with Floyd a few times, and then I went back and watched previous Maidana fights.
Khan had come on very strong in the beginning but was running a bit toward the end. Maidana had adjusted to Khan's speed and started bringing on a non stop onslaught. Khan also was the bigger or at least taller fighter in that match, and Maidana hung in there and made a good showing of it by the time all was done.
Then I watched the fight vs Broner again. Everyone knows Maidana put forth a good performance in this one, although Broner did hang in there (and ran less than Khan ironically).
I think maybe Maidana is just a lot better than he was being given credit for prior to this. That being said, I still feel Mayweather pulled off the win despite being the smaller fighter and not having much firepower to discourage Maidana.
