He stopped being that fighter since his second fight vs. ODH. He just threw away being a fighter that threw combos and from thereafter was a try to knock fighters out with one shot fighter.

I never understood why he went that route. I still don't see him even back then beating Floyd.
He stopped taking peds, ODH 2 was the last fight before Balco got busted......He clearly was roiding though just off eye, at lw, he used to look like a small mw, this was a time where people aint put on too much pounds post weigh in

I always felt that if Floyd was ever to lose, it would have to be him getting knocked out in the early rounds while he was still in the figuring his opponent out stage.

I thought Shane was about to pull off my theory with that shot in the 2nd round.....

that's because mma/boxing casuals are some of the worst casuals out there

i mean shyt, look at mcgregor/mayweather - you don't see basketball fans trying to make UConn Women's Hoops vs the Warriors happen :hhh:
I always thought Conner vs Floyd was just a money grab/media blitz fukkery just to see the whole “boxing meets MMA” thing.

Chino had the blueprint more than anyone.......If we are being honest the ref could of called the fight off when Floyd was in the corner saying he cant see, had that not been floyd....Chino aint just hurt him both matches, he took Floyd to a place where he needed his daddy's encouragement

I thought he looked awful in the 2nd Oscar fight.

Isnt this around the time he dropped his father as trainer

Nothing is conventional about Chino. He'll keep on coming forward, rough you up inside, throw at crazy angles and has heart. His unpredictability is the one thing Floyd couldnt time, like he could with everyone else.

I was highly anticipating this fight. Mosley was coming off an absolute destruction of Margarito. I thought he had a better chance than Pac to get a W. I was rooting hard for Floyd at the time

Floyd was cruising then Bam!!!! had me like

That Overhand right that came down on an angle Floyd couldn't block that shot, or back peddle away he had to duck under it.....Watching back Chino did lil shyt like throw pitty pat shots to the body to exploit Floyd's guard causing him to tighten up his d, then drop hammers once the opening one clear......Chino studied that tape and he ate, breathed and slept Floyd

He kept on firing in & landing the overhand when Floyd was on/by the ropes, which usually Floyd is at his most comfortable because of the muscle memory of doing the shoulder roll for so long, but Maidana made him work extra hard.
