First fight I saw Floyd truly getting old, not fight 3 minutes a round in the last few, very happy to spoil, left hand looking a little shot at times, roughed up and not happy at times.
Father time is well and truly in the other corner now and will only held Maidana.
If Maidana had any sense, he'd aim to take the middle rounds off. Sear Floyd in a hot pan for the first 4 rounds, leave Floyd on a low heat to reduce down for the next 4 then put back on the hob to burn to a crisp.
Seriously though - Maidana doesn't have great conditioning himself, if he wants to finish real strong, he'll need to find away to take a break, make Floyd use his legs and make Floyd's adjustment faze work against him.
