    I had it 116 to 115 Maidana. Have it taped, have to watch it again. I have
    no problem with Floyd getting the win but not by 6 points, thats ridiculous.

    Mayweather dominated in clean effective punching. And that's it. Ring generalship was all Maidana, with the exception of 2 or 3 moments where Mayweather pushed him back. The clean fight it was not, both sides were dirty, Mayweather with his typical elbow in the throat tricks and many, many clinches, Maidana retaliating by punching low and by hitting behind the head when the opponent was doing those super low ducks. Maidana set up the pace, threw 800 + punches vs May's 400+, they landed about the same but the sheer volume is all Maidana.

    First time I watched the fight I had it 115-113 May. Rewatched in HD yesterday and have to give it a draw or 115-114 Maidana.

    117-111 and 116-112 are "Pockets ain't empty cuz" statements from paid off judges.

    I had it a draw fight night and a 8-4 Mayweather win watching it again, people spent the last few months claiming Maidana is this bum to make excuses for the eventual Mayweather win. When Maidana actually showed up to fight like he always does noone expected that half the people I've seen that saw it was a draw or Maidana win don't give Maidana credit they just say Mayweather lost to a bum . Maidana put on a lot of pressure and fought his heart out every round but watching it again for the most part whether they were on the ropes or the center of the ring all the best punches were landed by Mayweather, I can see a draw based off of the activity of Maidana, and commend him for putting up a competitive fight a lot of fighters considered better than him couldn't but he lost pretty cleanly he used every vet trick in the book to get Mayweather off his game and still couldn't get him off track

    -It's not about a word or who posted it first in this thread, its about an attitude that you are very much representing.

    -Wow, the difference of just one round is the difference between the enlightened....or the "correct" and people who are just wrong, biased, and don't know how to score fights. This fight had so many potentional swing rounds, we couldn't even agree which one is in question.

    7-5 Maidana.

    After the 10th round, I think it was, Showtime showed that Maidana has out-landed Floyd in 6 of the 10 rounds. That lined up with my scorecard, which was 6-4 Maidana at the time. I believe I then gave Maidana the 11th and Floyd the 12th to end up with the 7-5 rounds Maidana victory.

    6-5-1 for Maidana. Mayweather gave him a tough fight at times. Mostly on the second half of the fight.

    From the WBC:

    Basic Fundamentals for Scoring:

    A. 70%: Effective aggressiveness is the most important factor for winning a round. The scoring of clean punches with power, number, and accuracy, whether moving forward, backwards, boxing sideways against the ropes or counter punching.

    B. 20%: Ring generalship. If an advantage is not found in A, whoever dominates the round with boxing skills to control the action and does not allow his rival to perform.

    C. 10%: Pure aggressiveness. If in doubt at the end of the round , it must be scored in favour of the aggressor, the one who goes decidedly after his rival, who forces the action to win the round, against a boxer who only runs away and does not stop to fight.
