Expert Fight Picks Analysis: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 37-years young and looks better than ever. The plodding style of the Argentine Maidana is tailor made for the skills of “Money.” Against Adrian Broner the come forward brawler Maidana mugged the slickster in the trenches but he will not have the same success against the in-fighting mastery of Mayweather. The “Pretty Boy” can more than hold his own inside with ripping bodyshots, hooks and uppercuts. Mayweather has also added some bulk, looking more than strong enough to avoid getting muscled around by the stocky slugger.  Mayweather vs Maidana Betting Odds have Mayweather at -1000 moneyline at SBO

Maidana comes in wide with his punches and the razor sharp counterpuncher Mayweather should have a field day with his accurate shots. Mayweather’s real concern should be injuring his delicate mitts on the Argentine’s available skull. Barring an injury or “getting old overnight” the pound-4-pound king Floyd Mayweather should easily outbox Maidana on his way to a wide decision win.
