Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)

[Beanflicker]

7-5 for Floyd. I think Maidana did some great work early on, but Mayweather gained control of the fight in the second half.

[bzkfn]

116-112 Mayweather. I can't believe anyone actually gave that to Maidana. Do people really want Floyd to lose so badly that they'll cling on to any success an opponent has in a fight?

[ykdadamaja]

I had Maidana 115-113 - 5 of the early 6 as well.

Compubox showed how close a fight it was - i dont have a problem if floyd won if by SD etc and close score - within a margin of appreciation for error - but 117-113 and 116-112 NO WAY!

Maidana 115-113 for me!

I had it a draw... Maidana needed round 11 like how he won round 12, for me. The scores were outrageous aside from the draw. We ALL saw it.

[bradlee180]

I think Maidana won.

Of the 1st 6 rds, Maidana won 5 of them.

In the 2nd half, there were some close rds, but no way did Mayweather win 9 rds to 3 rds, anyone that says that is an idiot!




Their parents are probably idiots too...

[Freedom]

I thought Maidana at the least deserved a draw. I scored it 114-114.

But I can see 115-113 for Maidana as a fair score, because there was a close round I gave to Floyd.

The deck was stacked against Maidana (gloves, ref, judges, etc). That's why I knew before the fight that even if Maidana won, he would officially lose.

I hear the translator f*<ked up Maidana's comments at the end.
Translator translated Maidana as: "Floyd did not fight like a man like I expected to."

Close fight. I had it a draw or maybe Mayweather by one round. I'll watch and score it again.

By the way, @Beanflicker - has Mayweather slipped finally or was I wrong and Maidana is better than I thought?

[Spicoli]

Stopped scoring and started yelling instead, but have rewatched 3 times. Mayweather by two points. Have come to the conclusion its a given Broner was overrated and at this very juncture Mayweather is showing a bit of wear, likewise Maidana was wrongly written off as a caveman and has improved a good deal and is more than transitioned to a full welterweight well. The man was out jabbing Mayweather in there, head-body, and shut down his counter more than once. That was impressive and a reality!

[Beanflicker]

Better than you (and everyone else) thought. Great game plan, mixed up his attack, showed the best defense I've ever seen from him (blocking/slipping/rolling shots). He fought a great fight and kept Mayweather from getting into a counter punching groove.

Yeah, at BEST it was a draw. When he was bullying Mayweather in those early rounds and keeping Mayweather from throwing back with his pressure, you have to give those rounds to Maidana. But when Mayweather started landing the counters clean in the middle of the ring, that beats pushing a guy into the ropes and landing a couple of grazing blows and a few arm punches while being tied up.

[Hulk]

Those claiming a Mayweather win must be forgetting the HARD body shots, specifically left hooks that Maidana was landing.

Ring generalship counts for something and when you are punishing a man from corner to corner while many times out jabbing him in the center of the ring to his 3 flashy punches landed, well you won the round.

Ha the second correct version is actually worse since mistranslated hes just calling pbf not a man, in the other correct version hes calling 45 dudes not men haha, ill have to rewatch fight again but marcos was beastly.

[Violent Demise]

Had it a draw last night. Watch it again this morning and gave it to Mayweather. He landed all the clean, flush punches.
