Bilbo was clearly watching the HBO broadcast and forgot that the commentary is essentially propaganda for the house fighter. 10-8 rounds are subjective, but Maidana was clearly dominating down the stretch. You could see most of Khan's flurries missing a mile off. He was running on fumes and there was little accuracy on them towards the end.
The 10-8 round looked like this:
Maidana Khan
50/80 8/14
Especially when you consider Maidana's punches hurt way worse than Khan's. I didn't even think twice it could score any differently. At almost any point in that round Cortez could have given him a standing 8 count. He beat him Pillar to post.
I also want to add that the second knockdown was bullshit on Maidana. He never touched the canvas, and the ropes never held him up. And third, no punch landed.
I agreed with round 10 being 10-8. No question. Rounds 11 and 12 though, not even convinced Maidana won them at all let alone 10-8.
There was no second knockdown, it was ruled a slip, your being like Miles and complaining about something in your own head

... Like I said the second knockdown was complete bullsh*t
