After enough time passes people will smarten up and see the fight for what it was, a competitive, close fight with a clear winner: Mayweather. Just like against Cotto who imo made it a much tougher and closer fight. The only ones that will continue to complain about this fight are the die-hard basement dwelling haters. That's all.
'But he made his nose bleed doe'
Here comes the Cotto revisionism again. He barely won 2 rounds against Mayweather. A Mayweather who was so lacklustre that he canned his trainer after the fight and brought his Dad back in.
I have seen atleast 6 fights that ended with a jab KO, they were hard counters that the victim ran into and didn't see coming.
I've seen atleast 15 jab knockdowns. And guess what, Miguel Cotto has had about 3 jab knockdowns in his career, and he was the one jabbing Mayweather's nose off.
you've seen 6 fights that have ended in a jab ko?
that's impressive, could you give me the names to some of those fights?
it's a jab, that sht usually comes right down the shoot, directly at your nose
have you ever seen someone ko'd by a jab?

i was honestly shocked when i came on here and saw people crying robbery after the fight. don't get me wrong, maidana fought like the fearless badass that i knew he would, winning a couple rounds clearly and making mayweather look uncomfortable throughout, but there's no way he won half or more of the fight. he was too sloppy and mayweather was consistently tagging him up with sharp counters and pot-shots. tough night for floyd but he did what he had to do to win. major props to chino for showing no respect and fighting his heart out, though.
Damage?

The only thing Maidana did to damage him was a headbutt, nothing else fazed him. In fact I've never seen Floyd be so willing in taking a guy's shots.

have you ever seen someone ko'd by a jab? a punch square to the face is what you want, dont get me wrong, but most of the damaging blows(right hands, hooks etc) usually go to you jaw/chin and even temple, these shots ko people, these shots cause brain damage, these shots will make you dance when you dont want to dance
a bloody nose can come from a single jab, it could even be a forearm, it doesn't take much, just a good shot.. directly on the nose
basically, what im saying is, bloody nose doesn't mean that much, you have to look at the entire picture
he landed almost the same as Floyd and more power shots. He dominated the fight,
From the latter it is already clear that you are a troll. But anybody with a pulse knows that the story of this fight is that Floyd landed almost every significant punch in the fight, Maidana never did in comparison. He was just lively, always pressuring, never let Floyd 'take over' but he was out-pointed the whole time. It's just the shock factor of Mayweather have a very dificult fight for once and not a blow-out. Once the dust settles we won't be hearing much from this "robbery" nonsense.
Lmao Floyd stans on full retard mode
Chino won, he did better than cotto, he won 5 of the first 6 rounds and round 8 cleanly
Its amazing how people try to change what happened, he landed almost the same as Floyd and more power shots. He dominated the fight, Floyd got a gift, all this shows is why Floyd ducked all those top guys and why his fanboys made excuses for Floyd keep ducking
A cherrypick gone wrong for Floyd, he was exposed, no way did Floyd win but money talks. Imagine what pac, Margo or the other top guys Floyd ducked would have done yo him when a guy who got outboxed by Khan heat him
i swear you gotta point out everything to alot of you
some people seriously weren't paying attention if they think cotto did better, or landed better shots
maidana in the first rd lands a good number of overhands, 3rd round i believe in the replay you see another great right hook to the chin, clean, in the 5th hurts floyd with a great overhand in the centre of the ring
he did alot more than cotto, cotto had one punch in that entire fight that matches up with any of the punches i just mentioned from maidana, and it was the left hook that came in the beggining of the 6th round
seriously, along with the bodyshots, maidana definitely did more damage

No, they won't.
Why? Because Cotto only won 2-3 rounds at best. Maidana won at least 5, IMO.
Props to Floyd. He won the boxing match. But Maidana won the fight.
So which 5 rounds do you think Maidana clearly won that wasn't close?

Props to Floyd. He won the boxing match. But Maidana won the fight.
Chino won the first 5 rounds to start the fight off. He clearly won those rounds, no way around it. Chino clearly won the 8th as well as the 7th.
Folks are claiming Maidana made this in to a dirty fight but he was actually responding to Floyds holding and Floyds forearms and elbows to the throat. These are two tactics Mayweather uses over and over, tonight he had afihter tha twasn't going to tolerate it. Unfortuantely the ref started breaking them quickly as the fight wore cutting off Maidanads work when Floyd would tie up Chinos arm.
Floyd adjusted and had some decent moments but he lost this fight 7-5 or 8-4, it wasn't very close. He got beat up tonight and looked as if he didn't want to be in that ring. Money was actually crying to the referee when he was holding Chino.
Its a shame because the 117-111 shows that any round that is even remotely close automatically goes to Floyd. There needs to be an investigation in to this type of nonsense because it is awful for boxing.
Cotto did quite a bit better IMO.
They wanted to sell the morons a rematch is what I'm thinking here. I haven't heard Showtime's commentary yet.
It was a different fight entirely. Cotto made each round a little closer, but didn't win any rounds clearly apart from maybe one or two max. It was a 10-2/9-3 fight.
This fight was actually very close, with Maidana clearly winning at least 4 rounds.
After enough time passes people will smarten up and see the fight for what it was, a competitive, close fight with a clear winner: Mayweather. Just like against Cotto who imo made it a much tougher and closer fight. The only ones that will continue to complain about this fight are the die-hard basement dwelling haters. That's all.
This fight was nothing like the Cotto fight, Cotto got near swept, this should have been a draw.
Mayweather clearly won 7 rounds to me. Maidana clearly won 4 rounds to me and MAYBE edged a 5th round. This is why I scored it 7-5 for Mayweather. It was a Clear win but close fight. I bet you anything if they have a rematch, Floyd will be using his legs a lot more and he will keep the fight in the middle of the ring. That is one thing I noticed in this fight is that he actually stayed on the ropes even when he didn't need to. Usually he is running around the ring and picking his spots. He did it quite less in this fight and it almost cost him.
