Media Mayweather squealing against Maidana

[PBAC]

Ya'll musta forgot...

I must have missed this one. Mayweather squeeks mid exchange, stopping the fight to contest Maidana biting him on the hand. I think this is also the punch Maidana claimed to have taken Mayweather's tooth from.

So ... the footage isn't clear enough to see but it raises the question how Maidana was able to seemlessly bite through a boxing glove to his finger. What do you think, legit concern or cop out?

 

[XThe GreatestX]

it was kinda weird.

i would think a bite wouldn't go through a glove, but i guess who knows.

 

[borntoloseNOT]

Big Maidana fan, dude was a entertaining little brute

 

[burningspear]

he was pissed because floyd brought in bayless to instantly break every clinch, negating chinos chances

Probably an overreaction by Floy

When you are surprised or shocked you can't always control the sound you make. I was walking my dog and we came up on a skunk, I went to call her and I made the most unmasculine sound I think I've to ever made instead. Glad no one heard it. And man I don't miss watching Floyd fights

I heard it.

 

[ricc505]

Damn. I think we can agree it wasn't as bad a Floyd in that clip, right?

 

[Zyklon R]

There's no way Floyd was in that much pain that made him react like that with all the adversity he probably just wanted a break in the action

Mayweather never did strike me as the toughest of guys, I remember him taking a kd because his hand hurt, that has to be a first in boxing history. As far as this bit? I dunno, if he has bad hands to begin with it might not take much. For me it's not the noise, fighters have done things like that when an unexpected hurting blow lands too. they say Max Schmeling screamed so loud and feminine that the entire stadium heard it from that bodyshot that apparently broke his back or his ribs, depending on you source. Ali apparently screamed when Larry Holmes got in a great bodyshot, even almost turning his back. Who can forget evander holyfield hopping up and down after he lost part of his ear? Some things happen that aren't in the realm of what boxers are used too. Either way, I still say Floyd did not have the kind of mental toughness that would make me pick him over some of the other guys. He was always whiney outside of the ring too and no one did anything but say something he didn't like. He'd whine and then talk like a 5 year old about money. No, don't like him, never did. Never liked Sugar Ray Leonard either but I'd pick him over Mayweather. Mean sob and when he had to take a beating he took it like a man.

If a Jeffrey Dahmer type bit your hand, you'd Squeal to the high heavens.

Maidan was possessed.

Remember Marco couldn't dent Morales with 1 eye.

What a wimp

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Usyk really likes Chino for some reason. He name dropped him several months ago in a Ring Magazine interview. Out of all the fights in boxing history he'd want to do a breakdown for it'd be Mayweather vs Maidana II.

What a ridiculous thing to say. A man who fights undefeated his entire career, P4P the best on the planet for most of that time, moved up from 130lbs to 154lbs fighting most of the best on the planet makes him one of the toughest men to ever live.

Maidana clearly bit him. Not sure but I think thats illegal in boxing.

lol, come on. He stood in there with some of the biggest hitters of his weight classes. Got his teeth knocked out vs Maidana and went on to with the fight cleanly. Regularly won clean and clear decisions with glass hands. Almost always outlanded his opponents by a wide margin.

Floyd gets a bad rap because he refused to fight dumb against guys who could put his lights out. Its ridiculous. Always was and still is.

wasn't it known he does have bad hands? He had to wear specialised gloves. I think they are actually also thicker than normal ones.

As for the bite going through gloves and a gum shield idk about that. The confusion from the commentary just adds to the imagery.

Chino turned out to be my fav fighter from that gen. I'd have liked to see more of him but also happy he got out early given that fighting style.

I think it'd be difficult to compete at that level in boxing let alone dominate without having some level of toughness. It is a sport where guys are punching each other in the face after all.

I can understand what you're saying and I can't really speak for everyone but anytime I've ever taken shots to the face/head I can't really say that it was painful I mean you feel it but it's not pain as I think of it such as getting burned, spraining an ankle or tweaking a knee etc

If your hands are as bad as his, it’s within the realm of possibility.

Floyd was tough when he had to be. There’s a difference between avoiding unnecessary punishment and lacking mental toughness. For some reason when people think of Mayweather’s career, they think of the latter half (where he was fighting people who were naturally bigger than him). To come back from being rocked twice and out on your feet to dominating the remaining ten rounds against Mosley? That’s mental toughness. To never tire out or slow down or lose focus in fifty professional fights? Mental toughness. To yell at Demarcus Corley with a mouth full of blood after being rocked multiple times, “stop crying and fight”? Yeah, I never really understood the whole weak coward label that people liked to pin on Mayweather.

To me a sign of a fighter that’s weak mentally is giving up on the stool, not enough stamina to make it down the stretch or like allowing situations outside of the ring to affect your training or performance inside. Like Sergey Kovalev. Kovalev is the walking definition of mental weakness as it pertains to boxing.
