Chances of Maidana KO.
Chances of Maidana KO.
What are the chances of Maidana landing a punch on Floyd's chin and knocking him out?
Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
Maidana is a good puncher but he didn't one-shot Amir Khan so really can't see him doing it to Mayweather. He could...but it's highly unlikely.

Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
Exactly, i've been saying it since the first fight, Maidana couldn't knock out damn Amir Khan after 12 rounds, how does he want to knock out Mayweather then? But i have also said, that Maidana found Alexander very difficult & complicated, and FMJ is going to school Maidana, and we all know what happened.Ezzard wrote:Maidana is a good puncher but he didn't one-shot Amir Khan so really can't see him doing it to Mayweather.

I still don't think a KO will happen. That would be SHOCKING! I am picking Mayweather by UD again.

He's a wear you down puncher, not a one punch knockout artist. Maidana doesn't have the power to catch Floyd cold, so in order to get a knockout he would have to be consistently landing on Floyd for at least seven or eight rounds. Just can't see that happening.

FMJ quits on his stool, late.

I just cannot picture Floyd quitting, really under any circumstances.Tanzio wrote:FMJ quits on his stool, late.
Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
I'm just answering the question. If FMJ messes his hands up or sustains a leg injury and can't move away late, he will be getting pummeled and his corner will throw in the towel, between rounds.punchoutsb wrote:I just cannot picture Floyd quitting, really under any circumstances.Tanzio wrote:FMJ quits on his stool, late.
That is the most likely scenario leading to a Maidana stoppage.

Yes. I can see Floyd going out ala RJJ against Tarver.

I could see his corner shopping it if needed, but not Floyd himself.Tanzio wrote:I'm just answering the question.

The scenario you just spelled out would seem the most likely to me too.

Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
I can't imagine a situation where Mayweather gets hit enough to quit. If he fights on too long I can see. RJJ situation maybe.
But let's remember, Maidana is tough, can punch well. But he's no real superstar. Whatever happens with Floyd, he never took the one dangerous fight against a prime PAC.
He also lost to O DLH in my opinion

Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
The Khan and Alexander fights were before him and Garcia really got into their stride, I think he's a different fighter now and a lot better. However I think Mayweather will eek out another close decision.
Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
I think as long as Floyd stays off the ropes, he'll be fine.

Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
nonesense, maidana has plenty enough power to score a ko. but will he get the opening, probably not.
so yay, it is very possible.

Re: Chances of Maidana KO.
About the same as Floyd knocking him out with one punch, virtually impossible.
