Did Mayweather's legs appear heavier in the rematch?

    Idk. Visually, it kind of seemed like it, but I'm messing with some stats.

    If Mayweather's legs tired down the stretch, then perhaps Maidana would've landed more. Makes sense right?

    Rd 1-6, landed 20% of punches.
    Rd 7-12, landed 23% of punches.

    And if Mayweather ended up standing in front of Maidana due to tired legs, his punch % should've gone up in later rounds.

    Rd 1-6, landed 52% of punches.
    Rd 7-12, landed 39% of punches.


    This doesn't make sense though. Maidana landed more but not significantly more. While Mayweather's % dropped significantly much. I don't understand.
