Floyd Mayweather v Marcos Maidana 2 fight chat thread

[Ron Swanson]

Thank god Garcia finally asked how you bite a guy with a mouthpiece and travel that bite through a glove?

Floyd should not complain about it but Showtime posted pictures, he did bite his hand.

I'm sure he did because Floyd is not the type of fighter to fake that kind of thing, but I didn't see any conclusive evidence of an actual bite.

You cant really see squat and how do you do that with a mouthpiece? How does that pressure not rip the glove and yet travel through two materials with enough force to cause that episode? Even a floor shot showing him doing the action would not equal the pain Floyd showed and really "my left hand was numb from round 8" Please?

It's highly likely Maidana did attempt to bite, seeing as to how Floyd was practically palming his face. But your point about the force of such a bite, with a mouthpiece on, and through a boxing glove.... is right on. Def acting job by Floyd.

Very true it almost looked like he was trying to lace him. I just dont get the charge and the point deduction was also a joke. I stick up for the guy more often then not but that whole thing had a real stink to it.

You can see his mouth in position to bite, his jaw flexed like a bite when you compare pictures and Floyd react at that moment like he was bit. How many times has Floyd claimed to be bit in his career? Are we supposed to think Floyd thought I'm winning every round I want to win but his mouth is in the right spot to bite me so I'll claim he did? Is this what is going through Floyd's mind when he's about to be up at worst 6-2?

I agree all the drama was absurd. But thinking Floyd made up the bite ignores logic man.

I think Maidana likely did bite. But to @IamInuit 's point, how much pressure could he really have put on that bite to cause Floyd's fingers to go numb? Floyd is not above being a drama queen.

For sure

I separate things from each other.


I think Maidana did bite Floyd, maybe out of frustration at having Floyd palming his face. However, I think Floyd overacted the damage.


I think Floyd looked very beatable tonight... maybe age is finally catching up to him.


That being said, I consider Maidana a brawler, not a highly effective boxer/puncher. Very little in terms of straight rights and lefts. Lots of looping punches, especially that right hand that travels straight down, as if to bludgeon the opponent. His best chance was to rush Floyd, cut off his movement, fluster him with all the wild swinging... and connect cleanly.

Yup. George Benton never liked swarmers and neither did Langford and both of those guys used that shoulder D with Langford showing it at the turn of the 2oth century. Its one of those style things that is actually based on truth making the phrase "styles make fights" not just another phrase. Floyd struggled with Castillo, a crowding Cotto and Maidana. He's also 37 and human.

[Spicoli]

Maidana made..and showed..Floyd a sucker on the under jab now. It was there for 24 rounds and often reset his clock. Its a very effective shot for him and if a guy is not there trying to gusto up than it flails. Floyd very much looks like a guy on the other side

[ono]

I watched it with no sound on, in a bar in Kavos, and felt like Floyd won easily enough. It was always going to be as uncomfortable as the first fight for him. He's not on the slide though. Only a year ago he schooled Alvarez. Maidana is a bad style for him. Simple as that really. And he did bite him. Was obvious to see.

Clearly the motion of opening ones mouth does not equal the effect put on display. To say otherwise given the mechanisms at play would be to ignore logic my friend.

Something happened for sure because Floyd has never played such a card but it was no bite and to carry on after the fact with the interview and that one handed comment is borderline sincere delusion on his part. He should have showed the world this hand numbing injury.

The irony is that he actually did a better job this time and yet showed more slippage.

The thing is you wouldn't have marks because the pressure would be dispersed. Think of a baby biting your arm with new teeth or gramps biting your arm after losing teeth. Baby leaves teeth marks, gramps no marks even though he bites significantly harder. But it could twist a finger in a direction it won't turn naturally. Specifically the pinky or the pointer would be easy to twist.

It's all irrelevant because Floyd should have been a man and said nothing about it but Floyd is a dueche. And he has slipped badly but he is still damn good.

Floyd IS a Douche!!! watch the bite again, before that, floyd was rocked pretty bad, but he needed time to recover, so he gloved marcos mouth and acted - and got what he wanted!!! TIME!!! and the dumbass ref went along with it.
