Floyd wins by snake skin

Good double leg, Floyd. #Mayhem
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 14, 2014
Great side steps by Floyd so far #TheKey
— Manny Gamburyan (@MannyGamburyan) September 14, 2014
Close rounds go to Floyd. Keep that in mind when your pissed Maidana doesn't win a decision. #MayweatherMaidana2 #Mayhem
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 14, 2014
That counter right was gorgeous
— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) September 14, 2014
Mayweather made adjustments from the first one and is not getting hit on the ropes its a rap already
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Entertaining boxing fights with the fam !! #MayweatherMaidana2
— Sergio Pettis (@sergiopettis) September 14, 2014
That right hand hurt end of the round
— Manny Gamburyan (@MannyGamburyan) September 14, 2014
Maidana landed a solid right at the end of the 3rd. I have Money up 3rds to none
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMasterAljO) September 14, 2014
Good ass fight so far!!!!
— Anthony Pettis (@Showtimepettis) September 14, 2014
Mayweather is the man at stealing rounds towards the end. #Mayhem
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 14, 2014
Just grubbed some home made sushi now watchin this go down. http://t.co/jJuWUyl1qJ

Chino cant box with Floyd, gotta turn it into a dog fight or he's going to get blown out. #Mayhem #MayweatherMaidana2
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 14, 2014
Money is doing work! His footwork is something else. Chino has to cut the ring off a lil more and attack that body. #MaidanaVsMayweather
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMasterAljO) September 14, 2014
Dont understand why ppl even pay for mayweather fights nemore its gonna be the same ole song and dance! Get @MannyPacquiao N THERE
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Lol he bit my hand. Tough to do through boxing gloves and a mouthpiece I imagine
— Thomas E Watson (@TomKongWatson) September 14, 2014
GTFOH. #Mayhem #MayweatherMaidana2
— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) September 14, 2014
Curious if Maidana really bit @FloydMayweather just now? #MayweatherVsMaidana
— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) September 14, 2014
Maidana Pit Bull
— Cristiano Marcello (@CristianoBJJ) September 14, 2014
He bit the glove??? Wtf
— Anthony Pettis (@Showtimepettis) September 14, 2014
Someone should tell maidana not to bite the hand that feeds him
— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) September 14, 2014
I think Floyds been doing a little grappling training saw a double leg from floyd and alot of double over hooks and head locks lol
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
What ever happened to "dirty boxing"? Did that style just go out the window for this fight? #MaidanaVsMayweather
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMasterAljO) September 14, 2014
What!! How do.u take a point and no words have been said to floyd for his grappling lol
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
This ref is killing this fight. #boxing
— Seth Baczynski (@Sethbmma) September 14, 2014
The @ufc main event dominated this boxing match and it only lasted like 2mins!! #mmatookover our sport wins again!! #entertainment
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Now a 3min dance recitel from floyd!!
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Ppl who criticize Mma for hugging should watch Floyd's performances
— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) September 14, 2014
Boring last round but that footwork clean;)
— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) September 14, 2014
This may be the last #Mayweather fight I buy. A lil too much "footwork" for me. Refs wont even let the guys work in the clinch for a few sec
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMasterAljO) September 14, 2014
That fight was a prom night dance gone wrong #MayweatherMaidana2
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Hard to deny that MoneyMay has some skills. #Boxing
— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) September 14, 2014
“@Sholler_UFC: Big final round for Floyd. Landed one punch. Yep, one.” The sweet science
— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) September 14, 2014
TBE !!! http://t.co/LxRVoUTyde
— Anthony Pettis (@Showtimepettis) September 14, 2014
Somebody get this dude a damn baby wipe! "My fingers are numb" please real fighters dont care if they feel their hands in a fight
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
Floyd gives himself a C- in route to a dominating win! #MaidanaVsMayweather
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunsonMMA) September 14, 2014
I don't like slugfest, but I don't like bicycles fights either. Money is so fast and accurate but he can afford to be a lil more aggressive.
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMasterAljO) September 14, 2014
A mouthpiece or not u can still bite it doesn't fill ur mouth up and lock ur jaw
— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) September 14, 2014
Maybe just maybe he had his glove over my mouth and I accidentally just closed it and by doing so I caused a bite. Just maybe. Idk tho
— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) September 14, 2014
People break their hands in fight and bitch less than floyd about his bad wrap job
— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) September 14, 2014

Boxing all in all is for men that cant handle the pain of MMA. Broken hands injuries we fight through em;) let the attack begin! #trolltweet

I'm glad I didn't waist $75 like so many other people did
— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) September 14, 2014
I'm impressed by the refs footwork!! #MayweatherMaidana2
— Kelvin Gastelum (@KelvinGastelum) September 14, 2014
These tweet wars have been a million times more entertaining than I just witnessed lol
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) September 14, 2014
So… Bellator BAMMA CWFC UFC & Mayweather… that's a pretty solid weekends worth of fighting I watched. EPIC.
