Yeah I don't wanna see them fight, just saying I think that is who Floyd will fight next.
Do you give Maidana any chance in this fight? Usually the slicker boxers have been the ones to do OK vs Floyd, besides Cotto but you never know when age catches up...
I didn't bet it. Felt like After Floyd -160 to get a decision vs Canelo that was pretty much the last time ever you were gonna be able to bet Floyd at a decent price.
Got small change at +840 on Maidana, as well as him by KO/TKO/DQ. Worth a shot. Definitely has the power to KO Floyd, but catching him squarely is another fight in itself. If I had to Coach Maidana tonight, it would be this...
1) Establish a jab...jab,jab, and jab some more. -A nice off rhythm stepping double jab
2) Be 1st and last to get off (easier said than done with Floyd, of course)
3) Make this fight a flat out war. Punch him everywhere. Body shots are great. If Floyd is pushing off like he likes to do, then he's not defending. Gotta catch him then. If so, it can easily hurt Floyd. The body punches could play a toll on the 37 year old Floyd in the later rounds.
4) Speaking of body shots, let's go lead right hand to body, retreat, smashing left hook.
Here we go...
