Physical size won this fight, arm length and height for Maypole. I did not see any exceptional boxing skills from him. All he had to do is keep Manny out of range and throw some punches. He did not outbox the little guy and he did not hurt him either.
I was quite surprised at the beginning of the fight the physical differences. Maypole had much wider shoulders, longer arms and looked more highly muscled in the upper body. Hard to believe they were the same weight class.
