I was surprised because I initially thought it was closer, but Maidana outhustled his man and it had shades of Duran/Leonard. Mayweather was that bit slower, his legs are going, and thus Maidana got him on the ropes again and again, and those body shots just could not miss. Overall the flashier punching was from Mayweather, but it was in spurts and in 4 rounds. Otherwise, Maidana was outlanding Mayweather and forcing him out of his comfort zone again and again. Maybe another, but less apt, but more so in terms of where Floyd is, is Jones Jr/Tarver 1. Jones got the nod, but looked asleep and next time out was asleep.
Give Maidana his punchers gloves, another camp to work on the method, and Mayweather another period of aging, and Maidana might well stop him. Mayweather against Pac is a tedious chore we all talk about now, but both fighters have declined, so it is still a pick 'em.
And we can trust you to give an unbiased assessment...after all...look at your .gif of Floyd. Stop being a hater man...your score is preposterous and you know it. Maidana wasn't out landing shit...he threw a ton more punches and missed a ton more. A good, close fight...but Mayweather won. Keep hating and look like a silly school kid.
The only silly school kids are those who bandy about words like 'hater' and froth at the mouth just because a fighter has lost a step and lost more rounds than he won. There is no shame in Floyd getting old, but he was definitely getting out hustled and worked over hard in the first half of the fight. Post fight he clearly wasn't himself either and that is after making his opponent wear pillows. I felt sorry for him, it happens to the best of them.
On the night of the fight I think I gave Mayweather round 5, but I don't think he did enough on reappraisal. Now you can call that hate, but at the same time I took away a round round Maidana also. It must mean I hate him too. I mean how preposterous of me to rewatch a fight a fight and take a round from him when I have a humorous Mayweather gif. Clearly Maidana 12 - 0. :-\
All I can do is call it as I see it. I dislike Amir Khan too and think he should have been docked points, but I don't take issue with that win. It involved a lot of cheating, but he clearly outworked his opponent most of the fight. I struggle to take rounds from people who work hard, throw, and land a lot of punches. Did I say Guerrero beat Mayweather? Canelo? Marquez? Judah? I am consistent in this regard. I see it as I see it and I saw Mayweather lose.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
Final post before I depart for now. My initial appraisal was about 7-5 Maidana on a bad stream. Second appraisal 8-4 Maidana. I can see how some might have it a draw or even the tightest of Mayweather wins. That's as honest as I can be. I gave my honest score and people can accept it how they like. Few are putting their scores up, but are happy to bandy about fanboy terminology. I saw a great fighter get old. Sometimes talking about a fight is like drawing a picture of Mohammed or saying Jesus likely had a girly hair-do and a thing for dresses. How dare you depict that he was a mere mortal etc! Steady on chaps. :p

It is called an acknowledgement that different judges score fights differently. It is called flexibility of thought. It makes perfect sense to an adult who can see different points of view. I see all points of view, but know how I appraise things. I think Maidana won convincingly, but can see how different factors can influence the views of other people. It makes a lot of sense if you would open your mind a little.

You could be a judge with scoring like that. Awful.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
It is formulated from far more stable origins than Mayweather 117-111. The enhancement of HD only highlighted for me more clearly just how many body shots and jabs were getting through that I didn't see on a stream. 7-5 is only a round away. 6-6 only 2 rounds away. 7-5 Mayweather only 3 rounds away. I can comprehend all 3, though I didn't see it. Mayweather makes people watch through a pair of tinted spectacles and I won't wear them. I won't wear them, I tell you. I just won't wear them. Never. Not in in a million years. Not on your nelly. 7-5 Maidana was with the specs on and that's my lot. You ain't getting nothing more out of me, thy folks. I sayeth nay. I sayeth nay.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
My stream is likewise choppy but I have seen more than 90% of the fight and I find it in favor of Maidana. If the portion that I missed would go in Mayweather's favor, then it may well be a draw.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
I think Mayweather won the fight clear 115-113 and most of the sport sites, press and this site also. I think people are just not really use to Mayweather having a close fight most of the people voting against him are pac fans as well what a surprise lol. I don't think he greatest and jlc fight was close as well but this one was a clear win for him. For those of you saying pac won did not see his fights he has lost a lot him self and has yet to fight a puncher since being iced by a 40 year old Jmm. I don't think the fight will happen because pac just signed with Arum and he does not fight golden boy guys its over now.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
i thought maidana won, could have seen it as a draw
the 117-111 was a horrible scorecard, mayweather himself looked as if he thought he may have lost until he heard his name
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
I would have no problem with the fight being a draw.Maidana really amazed me. Best Floyd fight I've see n in a while.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
40% thought a draw or Maidana won. I can live with that.
A hell of a lot better than the media had it.
Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
Well over all about 80 to 90 percent of people thought Mayweather one the thing. I really would like to have the man lose so i can stop hearing he is greater then Leonard or Robinson but no way in hell he lost. Also if you take out few of Filipinos and people who are strait haters of Mayweather it would look more like 80 percent here too. Add to the fact people saying pac wins had Mayweather winning it in there comments at least a few. Take bradlee out for sure he can never give Mayweather fair shake really. Shit he thinks Pac should be ranked over Leonard for god sake his opinion is fucking off i would say.

The more that folks disagree with me by taking the opposite stance, the more it further convinces me that I must be the ONLY one who's RIGHT !

Re: Who do you think won? Mayweather or Maidana? (spoilers....watch fight first)
I have watched the fight and I had it 7-5 to Maidana. I think Floyd chose to stand his ground, thinking Chino would not be good enough. Next time Floyd will box to an easy victory.

Our score cards usually align. Good man.
No they do not, I may have to look at the fight again as you are usually wrong and off base. ;D
