What did you score Maidana vs Morales?

114-114. :boxing:

115-113 Maidana. I had it even going into round 11. This........

116-112 Maidana

maidana won it for 2 or 3 rounds (he did well the last 2 rounds, morales just didn't answer)

I had Morales up two or a three rounds. I just don't think Maidana had much on his shots at all. They came in with venom but as you said in your big pops they had no pop. I was really worried about Morales's cardio levels but he seemed alot less gassy than Maidana although he threw a hell of a lot more. But as the younger fighter you would expect his work rate to be higher.

I had Morales winning by a point. Morales deserved the victory.

I had Morales up two or a three rounds. I just don't think Maidana had much on his shots at all. For the people that haven't boxed before, I would like to explain why I believe Maidana's punches were ineffective, even if landed. Many, if not all of Morales punches that were landed on Maidana were flush and clean with great snap on them. Maidana's punches are opposite. He pushes with his punches, regardless if he's fatigued or not. What happens with pushing punches is that they are nullified quite easily. Note how when Morales was seemingly struck by Maidana's shots, he took them very well. This is because Erik was rolling and moving along the same direction as the punches were coming from. A fighter who used this tactic extremely well in the past was Roberto Duran. This tactic ultimately takes off the majority of the steam on the punch rendering the punch almost ineffective in comparison to a punch that has pop. Pushing punches are really only good on the inside with short range and if the target is meeting the punch half-way. Compare Maidana's right hand with Hearn's right hand. Maidana pushes with it with great natural force, where as Hearn's uses an extreme amount of snap. It's very hard to take the steam off a snapping punch, which is why Hearn's right hand was so dangerous. If Maidana had pop on his punches, who would have put Erik away, no questions. I had Erik up by 2-3 rounds because Maidana was smothering his own punches, wasn't landing clean, and when he did land, Erik was moving with the punch rendering Maidana's punch less effective than what was landed on himself.

115-113 Morales

7 rounds to 5 Maidana, had it even going into the last 2 rounds which El chino clearly won, great fight though.Much respect to Morales

I had it 115 -113 to Maidana but couldnt argue if someone said 115 -113 to Erik

I had it as a draw, some rounds are hard to score, Morales definately threw cleaner better shots, but maidiana was the agrressor.

didn't score it. I was too wrapped up in the fight.
