"Mayweather was pressured all the way by the battling Maidana [in May]. "The crowd howled at the end, but many of the punches thrown by Maidana hit Mayweather's arms or shoulders or missed the target altogether." |
"His style is difficult at best, but with experience comes a way and will to win."
In the previous fight in May, one judge scored 114-114 while the other two made it 116-112 and 117-111 to Mayweather.
Mayweather is closing in on the 49-0 career mark of former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, having won all his 46 fights.
