Had it 8 rounds to 4 Mayweather, I Gave Maidana 1,3,5 and 8...I can see 7-5 because a lot of rounds were close but no way a draw or a win for Maidana...If you gave him the fight you were rewarding roughhouse tactics over clean punching...A lot of close rounds in this fight but in every round Floyd was landing the cleaner punches...Take round 11 for example that I see quite a few gave to Maidana...Floyd dominated the opening minute of the round with some good body work and couple clean shots up top...Then Maidana pinned him and started to wrestle around...some of Maidana's looping shots did get in but nothing substantial...The best punches of the round came in the last seconds by Mayweather...Two thudding right hands...
Anyways it was a good fight but very dirty and poorly officiated imo...Maidana was getting away with punches to the back of the head, throwing punches while holding and low blows...Weeks seemed to be in the wrong position the entirety of the fight to catch most of this...
Great post. This is exactly what I saw, however I did give 11 to Maidana. That's why I gave it 115-113. It was kinda tough for me to see the draw he got from the one judge but it wasn't too big of a shock. Anybody saying Maidana clearly won more than 4 or 5 rounds is delusional.
c/s maiden clearly winning isn't what i saw i mean he did his thing and sure he landed hits but he missed so many and was so sloppy
his aggression and pressure was more deceiving that people thought he won the fight
now whether or not floyd deliberately stayed in the pocket who knows cuz if what he says is true if a rematch happens that shyt gonna be nowhere near close like this one but if he saying that cuz maidana gave him that work then he better fight better next fight might not be so lucky
the ref in the fight was trash I'm trying too give him benefit of a doubt cuz maybe bad angles but too hit get low blowed twice and damn near knee in the face is like
khan aint beating floyd i can say that i haven't really seen portier or thurman but i will youtube them too get a better sense both making noise and respect floyd a great deal
as far as manny goes i wouldn't recommend floyd doing this same damn game plan cuz manny is more accurate and not sure if his power still the same but if floyd just fights the way he normally fights like his dad tells him too i dont see nobody beating him
fukk trying too please the casual fans and fight ur normal fight with defense
