Just recently rewatched the fight: 115-114 Mayweather my score The fight was extremely close. A lot of Mayweather's punches were missing. They got the attention from the crowd but were missing. Also, Mayweather did not take clear control in the 2nd half of the fight No way,this was 9-3 as the mayweather wants us to believe. The fight could have reasonably be scored a draw.
Mayweathers jab was missing a hell of a lot more than I've ever seen. 114-114 was my scorecard on 2nd viewing. Anything from 115-113 maidana to 116-112 mayweather are perfectly acceptable scorecards.
Floyd was winning by a clear 4 rounds. Much more crisper and efficient work from Floyd. Maidana looked busy and put plenty of effort in, but didn't win enough rounds clearly.
Well, you seem to be in minority here... I suggest you rewatch the fight cause a lot those so called "crisp punches" did not land.
So if i am, I watched the fight and the crisper and cleaner work was done by Floyd. I appreciate maidana's effort, but if it was based on activity alone, then Maidana would win, but Floyd was hitting Maidana with so many more power shots. As far as I understand scoring, it's based on flusher shots than, crazes and roughing up.
Very few shots of Floyd landed flush. They looked good but they did not land flush. You may have been fooled by the crowd then. That is why you came up with a wide score. That happens but you may revise your judgement when rewatching the fight
114-114, the 9-3 card was a joke but don't matter Maidana has a second chance and i hope he pulls it off.
