I don't like Mayweather, but I respect him as fighter, and felt sorry for him after 4. He lost each of those 4 rounds and occasional landed pot shots do not win rounds for me. He was getting bullied and beaten up. I don't think he was active enough to win the first half of the fight at all. He was like Hopkins in his final days at MW and not throwing enough punches to win rounds and at least Hopkins didn't use to sit on the ropes in the half a fight he would take off. Maidana was more active than Mayweather in the 11th, forced Mayweather to fight his fight, and landed the harder shots.

I like aggression, output, and Maidana, though clumsy, landed hard and constantly pushed Mayweather to the ropes and worked. Over 220 recognised landed punches suggests that Maidana won his share of the rounds and like I say in the rounds I give Mayweather he outlanded Maidana a lot, so many of his scored punches came in those 4 rounds and Maidana logically must have been outlanding him in scores of other rounds. I suspect the round by round punch stats will suggest as much.
