I know that if I were judging a fight and thought that one fighter was gaining an advantage primarily through the use of unsportsmanlike conduct, I wouldn't hestitate to factor that into my scoring.
Like May's left elbow as a defensive weapon. Does that factor into your scoring?
Maidana had to rough it up, smother, and use aggressive tactics to keep the fight competitive. That doesn't mean he loses the round because of it. Mayweather barely threw any punches and was basically surviving the early rounds so he could make adjustments in the second half of the fight. He lost the early rounds 5-1 or 4-2 to be nice. It sure as hell wasn't 4-2 in favor of May. Give me a break
I won't argue with 115-113 either way or a draw... But the majority of the early rounds going to Mayweather or a lopsided decision is beyond comprehensible.
