Smart business, we are the suckers.
Maidana only had one chance at beating Floyd, and that was what he did- swarm Floyd and try to land some big shots. Other than that we knew the second fight would have been a white-wash. The first one was more interesting to me because we knew Floyd has not felt power like Maidana's in a long, long time. Probably not since Sugar Shane hit him cleanly... and that was some time ago.
Floyd defiantly underestimated Maidens in the first fight but do not think he was that much troubled as he was against Shane in round 2.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
