Mayweather/Maidana part 2...

[cyclone]

It was great to see Floyd roughed up like that. It was also great watching PBF adjust and start throwing some serious punches. Everyone expects Floyd to make the usual adjustments and make this one a one-sided affair, a la Castillo II, but I still think Maidana is a very live opponent.

Roughed up?

Dude hardly landed anything.

Cotto and Emmanuel Burton did a better job.

He actually did rough him up, inside, outside early on and out jabbed the shit outta him in the 8th if I remember right. Floyd adjusted and had a helluva fight. Bcollins gave him full props why don't you try it once in awhile

"outjabbed the shit out of him"

hahahaha

Why don't you visit reality for once in a while.

Maidana was swinging at air like a washerwoman...if you call that roughing him up then yes....he roughed him up plenty.

What did you score it while we're at it..or are ya still behind as far as Mayweather fights since Castillo and all

[bcollins]

"Roughed up" is not equivalent to "landed copious amounts of clean punches." Since you seem to have trouble understanding basic concepts, I'll elaborate. During the first few rounds, Maidana pushed Floyd to the ropes and threw a high volume of punches at Floyd. Since hitting Floyd clean is like trying to carry water with a fork, the idea is to hit any available surface. Maidana was very successful early on with this tactic. Many boxing fans believe this is one tactic that may prove fruitful against PBF, and Maidana had more success than most applying the tactic. Your examples of Cotto and Augustus are well noted, but not quite the same as brute roughing up. Augustus is awkward, and Cotto was a little more precise and measured in this approach. Maidana swung for the fences, and it was fun to watch.

I would guess 120-108 Mayweather, since Maidana was swinging at air.

I expect a shutout this time. I scored the 1st fight 9 rounds to 3 for floyd I don't think the fight was that close. Throwing a shit load of punches and hitting nothing don't win rounds !

I had it 9-3 or 8-4 too. But Mayweather clearly was roughed up. The cut was nasty and I thought the fight was gonna be stopped when I heard floyd crying in the corner about not being able to see

[Rantcatrat]

I'm torn. I scored the first fight close, but when I ask myself who can make adjustments for the rematch, I have to think Floyd can, which is why, ultimately, I think I'd prefer a new opponent, like Porter, Thurman, Lara or Andrade. With all the fights out there for Floyd, is this the one you want most? The bottom line is that I'm not very excited about the fall PPVs.

[521Joe]

Really didn't think the first fight was close at all I had it 8 to 3 with one rd even, Maidana missed about 80% of his punches and when he did land they weren't even clean, Floyd was way more clinical and precise landing almost 60% of his punches.

Not really to interested in seeing a rematch, I would be shocked if Maidana wins more than 2 rds. I fully expect Floyd to pitch a shutout this time.

[Scott22]

i wish Floyd would fight someone else. Mainly because I don't see the rematch being that difficult for Mr. Mayweather
