    I'm interested to see if Floyd will still be as mobile as he was previously. I see Marcos giving Floyd another tough fight either way, however. Maidana is one of those guys that isn't the most skillfull, but has zero fear of missing or being hit cleanly, which makes for a difficult opponent. Most guys hold their punches and try to pace themselves out of respect for Floyd's defense and conditioning. Maidana walks in knowing he is going to fight tired the second half of the fight, so he throws himself at the other guy and makes it as physical and rough of a fight as possible so the other guy gets tired as well. Most people are afraid to truly exhaust themselves, because it is uncomfortable and goes against our primal instinct (hunter-gatherer/fight or flight instincts), but Marcos is one of those guys mentally tough enough to break through that. He is also fast enough to close the gap and get close/corner Floyd, although he isn't as fast as Floyd. All of that being said, Floyd still wins the rematch because he is the better fighter, and he may lose fewer rounds in doing so. Marcos will not be an easy fight for him though, and will put up a better struggle than Guerrero did.

    Floyd is getting another look at Maidana.

    I think he's going to bust him up badly.

    Yes Floyd busts up boxers badly, when was the last time he did that?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
