(Photo credit: Idris Erba/Mayweather Promotions) By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KOs) expects his rematch with Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) to be a much cleaner fight than the last time they fought, because sees the referee working the fight to be on his job on September 13th to keep Maidana from taking it to the next level in terms of fouling.
Mayweather feels that referee that worked their last fight played it too loose by failing to address the fouling, but this time he’s confident that Maidana will be playing it clean. Maidana was fouling left and right without the referee stepping in to take control over the fight. It was pretty bad in the first half of the fight especially when Maidana had a lot of energy to rough Mayweather up. As the fight wore on into the second half, Maidana was tired and not fouling as much.

By Dan Ambrose: Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KO’s) could win the Mayweather sweepstakes for a second straight time as Floyd Mayweather Sr. is saying that Floyd Jr. told him that he wants the rematch with Maidana next September. Floyd Sr. wants to try and convince him that he’s better off facing someone else for his next fight, because Maidana’s fouling makes him someone who’s not a good opponent for a second fight.
