      Yep, same here. There's no logical way any of those scores could have been for Broner. So hearing that first score reassured me. Until then thoug I had a horrible feeling it was going to be given a draw

        Although Maidana was the clear winner...i thought he was going to get robbed. It was a reflief when i heard the first judges scorecard read-out.

        I thought the ref was poor also. Broner was forearms and pushes all-night. He warned Broner plenty of times but there was never any chance he was going to take a point.

            I'm glad he didn't get robbed. But they obviously cheated for broner no point for pushing off or hitting after the bell

              When I heard "we have unanimous decision", I knew Maidana had it, but some posters had me worried in the RBR thread.

              If they would've robbed him, boxing would've taken a huge hit.

                  Referee was like Broner's assistant all night, so yeah I feared it would be the case for judges too.

                    Once they said UD I knew Maidana would get the nod. To be honest, Broner wasn't even throwing enough punches to make it possible to give him the decision.

                      I actually thought it was going to be a majority draw, which would have been one of the worst decisions of all time. Broner won 3 rounds at most, and that's being generous.
