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?
am i the only one who thinks floyd just looked like even more of a total douche than before? classic!! he ran like a bitch. he cried about a bite that never happened. if anything, he stuck his glove in maidanas mouth. elbows. and the ref was awful. he might as well have been in floyds corner with a team money shirt on. did u notice anytime maidana was landing on inside, bayless split them up!!
floyd made himself look really bad tonight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
