Bayless allowed Floyd to lock up Maidana's elbows, but got in the way when Maidana came to swarm and broke them up when Maidana had one free hand.

Bayless looked like the second opponent in the ring that night.

I have respect for Bayless. Said he was one of the best in the business. Is the best in the business. But after that fight last night, I can't say that about him with such certainty.

Bayless lost tremendous credibility with that performance.
