  1. As soon as Maidana caught him with that shot the bell rang. If he would have done that earlier he knows what could have happened bc Mayweather was dazed off that shot as you see him limping when he walked to the corner.

  2. Maidana is the only one who came close to defeat Mayweather that first fight was soo close anyone after that lost yes even Pacquiao.

  3. In that fight, Maidana was forced to wear gloves that were an ounce too big with more padding, so that his punching power wouldn't have as much effect.

  4. Pukulan itu mengenai mulut dan hidungnya, floid masih selamat, kalau kena dagunya, mungkin lain hasilnya.

  5. The gameplan was clear from Maidanas camp, get A+ cardio and attempt to throw 800 punches each fight. He had some success but ultimately used the fights to retire to his family.
