    Even before the decision was announced, you kinda know that the decision won't go Maidana's way, even though he beat Mayweather.

    Just like Garcia and other favorited Haymon fighters, they are kinda expected to get decision even if their fighter lose. Here are some example of some shady cards:

    Quillin's last fight - Judges had it extremely wide, even though he lost a number of rounds.

    Garcia - Lost the fight 8-4, but got the decision.

    Broner on Saturday - Lost a number of rounds, but the judges had it a near shutout. One judge did.

    It looks like non-favorited fighters need KO's to win most fight. They can't win a decision regardless of how well they do, expect in some rare cases. It's kinda sad that so many judges are bought on Golden Boy events.

    They will not risk Mayweather losing a decision against Maidana who is not a PPV star.
    Showtime will not allow that to happen, Las Vegas is Mayweather's hometown and judges will always be behind him.

    You need a few Knockdowns or Knock him out to win a fight.

    What's sad is the fact that Floyd sat in front of him all night and he couldn't come close to knocking him out or even hurting him. The closest he came to hurting Floyd was head butting him and causing a cut above the eye.

    Why?

    Not enough power, and not enough skills.

    9-3 mayweather is way too wide and it kinda proves your point

    Maidana didn't win, he threw almost 900 punches and landed 220. He missed, low blowed and rabid punched all night.

    Here's another shady card:

    Peter Quillin ----- 90 89 87
    Gabriel Rosado -- 80 81 83

    Not only did he get a favorable stoppage when Quillin was starting to get his ass handed to him, all 3 judges had it really wide. One judge had it a shut out. If that's not corruption, I don't know what is.

    It's kinda sad that a guy who lost the fight didn't get the decision?

    Maidana is wild on the inside. He head butts, throws low blows and tons of rabbit punches. Clinching someone like Maidana is a wise move or you may end up with a cut from a head butt. :yep

    Las Vegas put his butt in jail, micro brain. He likely would have gotten off those charges if it was in any other major city. SHO commentators had Herrera winning against Garcia. What bias are you talking about?

    Maidana cannot beat Floyd. He wins 4 rounds and slows and Floyd takes over. Do you guys want boxing to be a fair sport or are you in it just to handpick who won the fight after, regardless of what happened. Have some of you guys watched enough boxing to understand what the objective is?

    This was Maidana's only chance to win. Floyd fought Maidana's fight and still won. In the rematch, Maidana will see Floyd the Boxer. People are bringing up Alexander, Khan. They didn't stand there with Marcos like Floyd did. You haven't heard anyone call Floyd the runner in this fight. Floyd kept his promise, he fought different and previaled.

    Maidana won round 8 easily. He also had a strong tound 12, which I score for him. Round 11 was a round that could go to either fighter.

    It's not like Top Rank doesn't do it either. Look at Chavez vs Vera. Also Manny vs Marquez 3, judges had it way too wide.
