    After 5 rounds of action, I had Maidana up by a round or 3-2. Round 6 onwards, Mayweather won all 5 rounds (I gave round 11 to Maidana due to Floyd taking the round off). People need to get real, Maidana got tired and Floyd took over. Floyd did not lose the fight, I dont understand how some people get excited over missed punches hence Floyd "losing" the figh. Fact is, people seem to forget that Mayweather hurt Maidana in the body a lot of times.:patsch:patsch

    6 and 8 were close. 11th if I remember was more a Maidana round. In general though I agree with you. After the fourth round, it was mostly Floyd. Although some could argue for some rounds to Maidana since they were very close rounds, Maidana was throwing more and was the agressor (rounds 4-6-8) but Mayweather seemed to land the more effective punches. So they are hard to judge.

    Sensible post. BUt then you got *******s coming out saying how Floyd avoided Pac because they think that what Maidana did, Pac could do better. Pac does not bully his opponent to the ropes. I still think that if Floyd and Pac fought, Pac would get outboxed.

    I had Floyd 7 rounds to 5 on first viewing.

    I was impressed to see how much Maidana has came on since being with Garcia. This performance puts into context the Broner fight. We were all over Broner like flies on a juicy turd when Maidana dismantled him but seeing how much trouble he gave Floyd, Broner can now at least take some positives. But Broner didn't look anything special on the undercard in his 'prefered' weight class.
