    Maidana only won 1, 5, and 8.

    2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 were close Mayweather rounds with all but 4 being relatively clear.

    9, 10, 11, and 12 were all clear as day Mayweather rounds.

    People like to score missed shots nowadays. They don't like a guy who they perceive to be "avoiding action" despite landing more shots.

    It was an excellent win for Floyd, he showed his champion's heart and rose to the occasion. Maidana didn't look good and Floyd didn't look like Floyd but he did execute better than Maidana. When a fight gets gritty and you have to get down in the mud, no fighter looks good. Maidana is a mud duck but Floyd got down in the mud with his ass and beat him at his own game. Big Props to the money man.

    Exactly how I see it. I'm not even a fan of FM but I respect him and have to keep it real and give him credit. I'm not always impressed with the performances of Floyd's recent opponents other than Cotto, but this time Maidana came to win and didn't freeze on the big stage so it was a solid win.

    Based on this fight, Floyd is a joke/crap. Maidana is a c-level (with pillow gloves0, that almost lost to 100 years old Morales, was shout out by Devon, and lost to glass chinned Khan.The thing is, Maidana won against Floyd.
