    Overall - 116 -112 Maidana

    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.

    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.

    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.
