should be exciting let's see if maidana can keep the pressure on it mayweather not an ounce of wasted body fat he looks sculpted [Applause] [Music] pressure pressure from right now throughout the entire course of the fight he's gonna keep his concentration [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ortiz put madonna on the canvas three times and then madonna came back and beat him so madonna opens up and it's a riverboat gambler type style for him and that's what he has to do with this guy he's got to just throw caution to the wind trying to keep pressure on him trying to catch up with floyd's speed catches him with the right hand a couple of times nothing big stop stop stop i got you it's a bernie sander [Music] tony weeks the third man in the ring one of the very best referees here in las

everything including the kitchen sink at you and hope that i dropped everything's a big shot that he's landing here that one got in equilibrium that was right [Applause] [Music] uh closing seconds of that round now let's see if mayweather changes it up a bit here and let's see if maidani can keep this pressure removed all the time but can he's sustaining that's what this about [Music] keeping it away [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] good body shot [Music] knows [Music] [Music] [Music] stop stop [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] seconds now the second round [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and based on that the judges will probably lean that way and give it to floyd so that's what i'll do to try and keep it as close to what i think the judge is going to do harry leans in with essentially a right-hand lead here then he comes up with the left hook comes up a little bit short as madonna is attacking and scoring some shots mayweather puts up the defense here his defense has been good while madonna has been firing shots a lot of things have been ringing over the top that one [Applause] nobody in the past couple of fights have been able to get to mayweather quite like my donna has done here in the first two rounds of this fight i i think that the judges might be smooth on that second round i gave it to mcdonald because i thought he allowed that heavy blows and did floyd but and going into the fight this is what everybody said he would have to do that he would have to constantly pressure this guy keep pressure on him throughout [Applause] [Music] [Music] but this is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] complain to him [Applause] [Music] um [Applause] [Music] mayweather on the outside [Music] [Applause] trying to keep [Music] of the first three rounds of this fight [Applause] [Music] seconds [Music] [Applause] how do you feel good [Music] um is coming over time all right here we go round number four we got us a fight this fire folks now freud i'm back at the center [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] stop stop [Music] [Applause] the kind of guy that [Music] [Applause] [Applause] initially [Music] is [Applause] he's gonna have to fight me beyond this and this is the most that we've seen anybody really pressure hold on stop stop there we go mayweather stuck his fight before this [Music] and see how bad this is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] keep your hand up like i said keep your hand up [Applause] take a look on the inside leaning in heads clash right there and moments later we saw the cut well just to be sure now if this fight is stopped it goes to the scorecards it's an official fight because we're past four rounds they scored that an accidental hit but if the fight were to end for that reason let's go around that would go to the scorecards not a tko i don't know if the judges see it the same way but that's the way i see it and if that was true then mayweather would have to win six of eight just to get a draw that's how important a good start like this is if that's how the judges have seen it but we were split on the third round and that changes everything destroys my donor does not want to fight with floyd would like to fight this entire fight at the end of his punches stop stop but this is floyd mayweather jr no stop stop let him up [Music] inside floyd doesn't like what's going [Music] on he's [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] star wars [Applause] [Music] that is [Music] i don't expect that's the way i see all right here we go round number six scheduled for twelve [Music] usually by this stage of a fight [Music] stuff i guess stop stop stop let him go [Music] [Music] this is [Music] this is going to take everything i got let him up to see if this guy [Music] mayweather settles into the comfort zone [Applause] but when you're fast enough [Music] he misses a lot of shots on the inside [Applause] all right that's a mayweather round so floyd grabs on the inside my donna gets caught with confusion mayweather with a good strong uppercut that was his counter for that over the top shot that my donna has been showing another look madonna catches himself doesn't throw the punch mayweather makes him pay on the inside and then covers up if mayweather allows himself to be trapped he can't use the shoulder roll as much but there is the lead right hand mayweather scores and then he would add some left hands at the end of that round [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] very few fighters able to do that over 12 rounds if you're going to do it once in a while you have to take [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] stop stop [Applause] [Music] come on come on [Music] and do [Music] [Applause] [Music] but you know if he continues to box like this he's going to win the fight and and that's even more to himself [Music] the last round [Music] [Applause] [Music] i gave the first five rounds to uh my donna then six and seven to floyd for sure but there might have been a round or two back there close enough that some of the judges may have given it to uh floyd i mean this is this is great stuff as i did in round uh two and here's mayweather the right-hand lead again against the righty able to push off my donna and then attack him all of a sudden in the last couple rounds what my donna is doing is not bothering mayweather he's got a different look at it by floyd coming back [Applause] [Music] [Music] and another thing if that second round is the way you start instead of the way i start then the fights are hold on yeah here we go to the eighth round one thing for sure it's an entertaining prize fight nothing was going in my opinion then the greatness [Music] maybe he's got some sort of second wind back to the center of the ring he has to find a way to get inside and he's doing it for the most part but now when he's coming in mayweather's got that right hand ready for it as madonna [Applause] [Music] okay stop stop i got you i got you let's go [Music] [Music] is [Music] stop stop stop uh [Music] floyd [Music] [Applause] uh is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] floyd's done really well in the last three rounds on the inside maidana leaning in takes a shot and goes low on mayweather and pretty low he's fortunate that he didn't lose a point there it's based on how low this was and nothing was forcing that he wasn't being held it's up if you missed by an inch or two but he missed by enough that he nearly lost it okay you [Music] removing it from the chest of his opponent [Music] but there was no price [Applause] [Music] right [Music] he finds some room on the outside gets the jab going does make him go straight back from time to time it is [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] today [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] next floor to floyd so this fight is dead even right now all we're gonna do baby is beat him up now okay you just beat him up just like you're doing right now even with my donna in close controlling and getting that right hand in by maintaining his balance and then he slides off the ropes finds room and lands the uppercut here the jab and the right hand and then comes from a different angle and almost landed two more he went lefty righty back to righty and that was a good body shot at the end of that exchange my donna that one left the mark you picked there goes floyd was cut back in the fourth round he's done a terrific job keeping that thing under control [Applause] we go to the 10th round the colonel bob sheridan along with our international telecast wherever you are [Music] [Applause] since the sixth round he hasn't been able to get the pressure back [Music] he's [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] there's filled with confidence [Music] is [Music] mayweather [Applause] [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's the greatness [Music] [Applause] as well well after the entire ten rounds gave the first five to maidana the second five to floyd but floyd has been coming on all the way and there's no guarantee that the judges saw the first five rounds for maidana so i got to figure that floyd's out in front of this fight right now at this stage here he is on the right of your screen outside boom with the right hand vintage mayweather again settles and fires from there on the outside be good right here who you are you're going to get another indicator in this case that it's a close fight mayweather remember i got a dead eagle right now one punch [Music] but the problem is [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] because let [Music] [Music] some people would [Music] [Music] does that mean at age [Music] looked like his reaction time goes down a little bit [ __ ] up but when a guy is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] steps [Music] [Applause] [Music] um [Applause] he wants this fight [Applause] [Music] that's a tough round to score i'm going to slightly give it to floyd mayweather i think he gets it too madonna had uh the times more sizzle than steak he's back today [Applause] okay make sure this guy has made this fight tackles [Applause] michael burnham they're all good let's see floyd opens up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] knows [Music] [Applause] punches [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Applause] [Music] he got something somewhere i think he'll come out of this [Applause] [Music] team [Music] [Applause] [Music] here we go [Music] who wants it the most [Applause] throughout the globe [Applause] yesterday [Music] [Applause] both guys think they won my score sheet is close but i got mayweather winning we'll see donna had to make the fight [Applause] [Music] there was a tale of two fights by donna mayweather later and then late 8-9 easy um there's a lot of guys around the same point they can make some terrific here is a big underdog he's come up with a nice effort and it will come up with some other fight for him as a result of this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] the great thing about boxing to see if the judges had it the way dave and i saw it if they did they've got uh here's jimmy lennon jr he has the score sheets and as soon as they queue him from the showtime network you'll find out at the same time as we find out his jimmy ladies and gentlemen after 12 rounds of action here at the mgm grand we go to the scorecards judge of ringside michael pernick scores the bout 114 to 114 even a draw overruled by judges bert clements who seized about 117 to 111 and dave moretti who scores about 116 to 112 in favor of the winner by majority decision he

Maidana is probably one of the most underrated boxer. Just because you’re boxing aggressively it doesn’t mean you’re a “brawler”. With that being said, I love how Maidana used his jab to control where Mayweather went.

[u/Augustane]

Keep in mind that Mayweather had just whooped Canelo and embarrassed him, so people were NOT expecting Maidana to make it such a close and interesting fight.

I remember my viewing party went ballistic over this fight. People lost their voices screaming haha

[u/jarhead1515]

In my opinion the best fights in the world happen when a defensive counter puncher gets pushed by an aggressive brawler.

Mayweather-Maidana and many others

Toney-Barkley/Jirov

Ali-Frazier

Sugar Ray Leonard-Duran

Augustus-Ward

Most recently Spence-Porter

I could go on.

[u/buddych01ce]

This was the first and only pro boxing match Ive been to. Was so stoked it was an actual close and exciting Mayweather fight.

[u/Stiltzkinn]

Still remember to this day Maidana disagreed about not allowed to use his gloves and instead the gloves he used felt like pillows for him.

[u/Strongest-There-Is]

Thanks for posting this!

[u/paperball86]

I had Chino up by a point. Close ass epic fight. Saw it in the theater, wonderful memory... such a rowdy energy filled crowd. Packed. So much fun.

[u/Johnyfootballhero]

I miss Maidana

[u/Ricochetbiscuits]

Best performance I've ever seen anyone have against Mayweather. Had it even after 10 rounds, but it was a dog fight.
