MAYWEATHER VS MAIDANA PRESS SCORES



Floyd Mayweather the self proclaimed "Best Ever" was made to work harder than expected by Argentine puncher Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night. Mayweather unified the WBC and WBA Welterweight titles on a night where he was hit much more than he is used too before coming away with a majority decision. The pro Maidana crowd of 16,268 booed the decision as they thought their man had done enough to finally end Mayweather's 18 year winning streak. It was a majority decision, the 2nd in a row for Floyd who saw his record improve to 46-0 only 3 short of Heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record that has stood since the 50s.

After all the controversy the night before regarding the padding in Miadana's Everlast gloves, Maidana was somehow forced to change his Everlast MX gloves to a different type. This after the commission had passed them as being fit and proper to use. No doubt there will be more on this in the coming days as Maidana should not have been asked to change them especially after the officials were happy with them. In the post fight press conference both Maidana and his trainer Robert Garcia made the point to the media that they were "forced" to change gloves. When Mayweather was asked he simply dodged the question and went on about fighters safety. 

To the fight and Maidana as everyone expected started fast bullying Mayweather to the ropes trying to land his chopping right as Floyd ducked and dived. The WBC champion responded in the 2nd by using his blinding speed to catch Maidana with his quick counter right. The pattern continued for the first 4 rounds. It was an even fight. Maidana kept the pressure on in the 5th as Floyd now cut from a head clash looked worried about the sight of his own blood.. Later Floyd said that he couldn't see for 2 rounds, this partly explains why Maidana had such a strong 4th and 5th round.

Mayweather came back in rounds 6 and 7 as he controlled the pace of the fight, moving more freely as his eye began to heal. Floyd put on the expected clinic as Maidana was now the one to look tired but as ever he came back in the 8th out working the 1/10 ON favourite. The fight was even again, the upset was on, could Maidana keep the pressure on?. The answer was NO as Floyd stepped up his output. That lead right hand knocked Maidana's head back more and more as the smooth boxing, the picking of his shots looked like it was confusing the man from Santa Fe. Floyd swept rounds 9 to 11 on this writers card which put him in lead which could only be caught with knockdowns or a knockout from Maidana. 

The 12th was close as Maidana tried to go for the KO, Floyd was still moving well but was probably out worked especially in the last minute in the round. As the final bell rung both fighters raised their hands in victory, the Maidana fans were sure of victory as they cheered loudly expectant for their fighter to be declared the winner. They were to be denied though as Judges Burt Clements and Dave Moretti scored the fight to Mayweather 117-111 and 116-112. The 3rd judge Michael Pernick had it a draw 114-114. AT the post fight press conference Maidana screamed for a rematch, Floyd on his part agreed so it looks like it could be on in September. The rematch will now be bigger as Maidana pushed Floyd really close with many questioning if Floyds long career is finally catching up with. It was a great fight, much better than expected. If Mayweather is on the slide then the September fight should be better especially if Maidana can were his preferred gloves.
