Strengths for Each Man

In their first affair, Floyd Mayweather was simply not allowed to work against the rugged Marcos Maidana. However, Floyd’s superior footwork could be key in this rematch in keeping Maidana off of him for the full 12 rounds if need be.
Also, Mayweather’s ability to be so effective with both his left and right hand, along with his punch variation whether it be with an uppercut, hook, jab or straight hand, could be crucial in a game of cat-and-mouse like this.
Money May could potentially potshot his way to victory , while Maidana is left chasing shadows.

Along with the Argentinian clubber’s clear punching power, it is his extremely high work rate that can force his opponents to succumb to his relentless pressure.
Robert Garica has stressed how important Marcos Maidana’s strength and conditioning is this time around, after he seemed to fade late it the fight back in May.
So if Garcia and Maidana can get their conditioning on point come Saturday night and continue to throw heavy shots from unorthodox angles, then it will be very interesting to see if the greatest boxer of this era can cope with the non-stop pressure.
