How'd you score it, was it a robbery?

    I was quite surprised by a draw scorecard in all honesty.
    This surprises me because you are a level headed poster, I don't see how anyone can have anything but a draw. What did Floyd do to win rounds? He landed some shots here and there but for the large majority of the fight, Though Chino did miss many shots, he controlled the pace of the fight and drove Mayweather around almost at will, he blocked several of Mayweathers combinations, I will watch it again without a doubt but I seriously suggest you do as well.

      I see Fat Dan had Floyd 115-113. I had it 116-112. Floyd landed more and at a higher percentage. Close but clear win.

        I had it 114-114 and scored each round exactly the same as the judge. The other two judges gave Floyd round three which instantly tells me they were either CJ Ross in drag or on crack *******.

              I'll have to watch again to remember if I mixed up one of the early rounds.

              But I believe I had Floyd winning rounds 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.

              Maidana had more success the first 6 rounds then anyone ever on Floyd, with the exception of maybe Castillo. The difference was the Castillo fight, Floyd did well the first half, won 4-5 of the first 6 rounds. Castillo dominated the 2nd half, Floyd perhaps won a round the 2nd half.

              The opposite happened here.

              Maidana took it to Floyd early, not giving him room to breathe. Floyd still got off enough counters from the ropes, and tagged him enough in the center of the ring though, to win a couple rounds. 4-2 Maidana after 6, I was STUNNED by this though.

              Floyd kind of figured him out near the 2nd of the 6th though. The 2nd half, nearly ALL the clean and clear punches were Mayweather. And he adjusted off the ropes, smothering Maidana, and timing him with some amazing counters. Floyd also did some tremendous body work both on the ropes and in the center of the ring with some big left hooks to the body.

              Maidana won the 8th, but Floyd swept the last 4. The 12th was entertaining but Floyd still landed more and the clearer shots.

              115-113 Floyd. I want a rematch though.

                Early on....sure. Floyd still did enough to win 2 of the first 6 though.

                The 2nd half, though Chino had him on the ropes still, it wasn't as much and Floyd made adjustments. He countered often off the ropes and avoided nearly all of Maidana's punches. And let's not act like the entire 3 minutes were on the ropes.

                There was still plenty of time spent in the middle of the ring where Floyd hit him at will the 2nd half, and Floyd tagged him a ton with those quick left hooks while retreating to the ropes.

                Close close close fight.

                  I had Maidana by two. But I scored body punches.

                    I had it 7-5 Maidana.

                    Could have been 6-6 or 7-5 either way. Great fight. Need a rematch.

                      7-5 Maidana

                      How do you win a fight by throwing only 400 punches when your opponent throws twice as many and dictates the pace of the fight for the majority of the fight? Floyd couldn't get himself off the ropes for most of the fight and got hit by right hooks repeatedly.

                      We need to see a rematch and I think we will. Nobody **** on this fight more than me but I was impressed with Maidana.
