Let's get dirty!!!

Maidana must try to injure Floyd or hurt him real bad... I am not gonna sugar coat it, that is the nature of the sport we are in and these tactics are as old as time itself. Despite all the bleating about MMA style, Floyd and his dad and uncle know this; they know the fight game. Rog and Senior were brought up in the boiler house of the mid west fighting fraternity. Reading between the lines they know they will get more of the same from Maidana and possibly worse. I say worse because I believe Marcos will find the rematch more frustrating as Floyd will adjust.
Maidana must look to inflict something that will disorientate Floyd for a few rounds. If you analyse it the head butt and cut did that in the first fight. Floyd did not know how to react to seeing his own blood, he simply had never seen it from a cut before. So Maidana must look to inflict something similar by hook or crook by before the mid rounds. A kidney punch, a smack to the throat or back of the head or a crippling one to the groin....
People have lambasted me for giving this advice, but to me we are in the hurt business and these tactics have been used by a plethora of boxers people now call great, when they have been matched against technically better boxers. The chances are you will never beat the technically better man and your only hope is a miracle punch. So you find a way of disorientating him. Please watch and relive the wonderfully dirty technical masterpiece Honeyghan did on Curry as a blue print.

The only worry for Maidana is that Floyds camp are ready for this type of fight, don't buy into their cowpat. And Floyd is equally adept at the dark arts. I look forward to this a lot... It's like the old days!

Azmah, Maidana will definitely bring more of the same. But I think the fight will hinge largely on the referee. Weeks basically let anything to last time out, I don't think anyone would have raised an eyebrow if Maidana had been docked a point or two. If floyds mate Cortez is holding court for the rematch we see a very different fight, and a very easy win for mayweather. 
I really hope not, I really hope it is a brawl like the first, but in general we all know that rematches of great fights rarely replicate the original.

By the by, really looking forward to this fight too.

I hope the ref lets it be a bit... I expect to see a very dirty Floyd in response!

If Floyd thinks of Maidana as Madonna, he'll have no problem hitting him! Need to see Floyd roughed up to see if he's a real gangster or just a fake loudmouthed pu$$y and women beating b!tch

Letting Maidana use his own gloves would help.

Yeah, the swear filter means I have to tone it down some.

The gloves thing is the only thing that irritates me from the Maidana camp... Those particular gloves as seen on that day were all wrong. The padding was shocking! As a boxing coach myself I would not allow it. They were shocking and this is not bare knuckle fighting.

It is B./S to suggest that the gloves made a difference to his performance. He shocked many with aspects of his performance and he did well. He didn't knock Floyd out because he couldn't catch him clean with punches he didn't see, simple as.

Only cos rabbit punches are illegal

I know what I would be telling Floyd.... Rabbit punch the guy back and hit Jm in the goolies... Lest see how he reacts to similar provocation... Might get interesting
