Sorry nick gotta disagree with you here... if you've watched UFC enough, you know there's a lot of fights that last seconds. A well placed kick or punch will end a fight quickly, unlike boxing. Im guessing it's cause of the gloves. Check youtube.
I don't understand why mike keeps his guard down too. and when he backs up, sometimes he throws his hands up in the air (saying ehh oo). Now, people will hate maywether, but he does not hold up his hands and dodges very, very well. But he's a professional boxer and with all due respect, mike would be wise not to think he's in the same league.
