    I had it 8 rounds to 1 in favor of Khan after 9 rounds and gave Maidana the last 3 rounds.

    I was sure Maidana won at least a couple of those early rounds. Definitely round 3. I'm downloading the fight now, I am curious to see if I see things differently.

    hahaha, just the idea that you might be prepared to change your mind on something

    I am curious because I don't think I watched it from the most objective point of view. I was actually quite calm at the start and though the KD unnerved me, I thought 'just early days, stay calm'. However, by the time the point deduction came I was starting to rant at Cortez and then of course we had the 10th where I went mad and knocked over my chair. It was a good thing my wife had gone out as she wouldn't have been impressed by the language and the dramatics. I was jumping around and shouting at my monitor for fair parts of the fight.

    I think I need to see it again without the additional stresses and strains.

    Maidana won no more than 4 rounds in my eyes and that's being generous. And the punch stats would agree with me. Overall Khan connected at 273/603 at a 45% connect rate, Maidana at 156/767 at a 20% connect rate.

    I was half cut, but my overall impression was the Khan was comfortable on the cards and could afford to get on his bike for the Championship rounds. I probably wouldn't argue too much with Watt's card oddly enough. Was shocked when i heard the actual scores.

    I watched the HBO version, how did Watt score it?

    He had Khan six rounds up.

    I had it like so -

    Round 1 - Khan 10-8
    Round 2 - Khan 10-9
    Round 3 - Even 10-10
    Round 4 - Khan 10-9
    Round 5 - Khan 10-8 (Point deducted, unjustly)
    Round 6 - Maidana 10-9
    Round 7 - Maidana 10-9
    Round 8 - Khan 10-9
    Round 9 - Khan 10-9
    Round 10 - Maidana 10-8
    Round 11 - Even 10-10 (Maidana coming forward and Khan obviously still in trouble but Maidana hardly landed anything. I think some people forget the rounds should be scored in isolation, IE in scoring the 11th the 10th round should not enter thoughts)
    Round 12 - Maidana 10-9

    So, if my maths are right I had it 115 - 112 for Khan.

    Excellent point ryanman. I also thought the 11th round wasn't at all bad for Khan. Maidana was coming forward, and Khan was moving backwards, but that wasn't the whole story of the round. Khan was the only fight who landed effectively in that round, rocking Maidana with combinations and then getting out of the way again. Maidana looked as exhausted and ready to go as Khan did.

    The 12th round was similar too. Khan moved away the whole round, Maidana moved forward but landed nothing, then Amir lit him up in the final few seconds, in fact I thought he was going to floor Maidana.

    Interestingly it was a similar story in the first Hopkins Taylor fight. In the championship rounds people only focused on what B Hop was doing with his come forward pressure, but Taylor was firing back with combinations to the body and landed more effectively off the back foot.

    People definitely can be guilty of judging the momentum rather the round.

    What was Hbo's?

    114-111 I think. He gave Amir the 11th. He also gave Maidana a 10-8 round 10, as did all three of the judges. I know one judge gave Amir the 12th round too.
