I did, it was actually wider. I only had Maidana winning two rounds! However, it is conceivable that he won two more rounds, that's it though.
Even when PBF was laying on the ropes and Maidana was either banging away at air or arms, PBF was putting some clean shots to the body.
I'm guessing if a rematch were to happen PBF will win a wider margin on all scorecards.
This right here....
114-114
Problem with Floyd fights is that they generate so much money no judge wants to be the one who ruins that cashflow by actually judging a Floyd fight correctly....once Floyd gets that 1L or 1D the powers that be feel his sales would cut in half.
I don't believe in that sh*t. Look at how the first PAC - Bradley was decided. Clearly PAC is was the cash cow in that match up and Timmy could have the entire Palm Springs with him and it still would not fill up the MGM Grand. There has been other mega fights in the history of the sports where the cash cow was robbed against a not so popular fighter.

I had Chino up 4-1 after the first 5 rounds...sorry but just because you're Floyd I can't give credit for blocking half the shots and the other half not landing 'clean' (whatever that means...they were still landing). Floyd started winning close rounds, so I had it tied after 10 and gave Chino the last round.

Personally I'm tired of seeing Floyd fight dudes his height/shorter with shorter arm reach. That flat-footed pull counter don't work on a longer wingspan.
watch this fight, starts countering over the jab of a taller fighter with a longer reach in the first round
114-114 is a fair scorecard but 117-111? Outrageous! From round 1-6 it were clearly Maidana rounds. The rest was close give and take for both fighters. Floyd was confused and constantly was looking to the ref asking for help.
6 rounds maidana were very clear there is one that is debatable no way was he blown out //Draw or victory for chino

9-3 or 8-4 are the most realistic scores in my view, and that's giving a ton of credit to Maidana. I'd much prefer a different challenger for September, but I guess a rematch wouldn't be the worst thing.
First time I scored it I tried really hard to see Maidana winning rounds and had it 8-4 Mayweather. Second time I scored it, i watched neutrally and I found it hard to give Maidana more than 3 rounds. 9-3 maybe even 10-2 Mayweather. Maidana didn't really do anything except fight dirty. Take for instance the first round-one that most people thought was a clear Maidana round-pay close attention to what actually lands on the ropes. you'll see almost all of the clubbing hooks Maidana throws either slide through between Mayweather's gloves and face, or they hit him on the back of the head. Meanwhile Floyd is landing clean body punches during those exchanges that of course the commentators overlook. To be honest I only counted maybe 3 clean punches that actually landed on top of Floyd's forehead-not enough to win a round IMO.
watched it 4 times and i scored it the same, 9 - 3 Maidana.

Your opinion on scoring a Mayweather fight is as valid as trying to pass off a Snickers wrapper as a movie ticket.
If I was as bad as you scoring, I'd have Cotto winning the Trout fight 8-4.
If you don't trust that then rewatch the round again, Mayweather bested Maidana in every single criteria in round 4.
