Firstly, I would say that the first score that you come up with is really the only score that matters but you can watch a fight and completely misinterpret the context of the fight.
First time around, I saw Canelo retreating and looking confused, second time around, I saw Canelo doing a mediocre job of not falling for Mayweather's traps. Also there were many occasions where Mayweather was being hit but showed great composure - where first time around I didn't even acknowledged that he'd been caught. In this view I can understand how he could have been given a draw.
Honestly though, I think someone else on here said it was close and thought it was ridiculous until I watched it again.
