I think it is safe to say that Floyd Mayweather has been slightly rattled to some extent by Marcos Maidana and his trainer Robert Garcia.
From the eve of their first encounter when “Glove Gate” was the topic of conversation, it seemed Floyd was uncomfortable because for once he was not in control of a situation.
Glove Gate has since been raised on numerous occasions by the Maidana camp, as they believe this would have been the telling difference, if they were allowed to fight with the controversial gloves.
Mayweather has been quick to rubbish these claims and referred to the 31-year-old banger as an MMA fighter with his roughhouse tactics.
Needless to say, both Maidana and Garcia agree with Mayweather’s claims, but their explanation was that they could not allow the pound-for-pound king time and space, or they would have been punished.
