How'd you score it, was it a robbery?

[Croyd]

if NE says that he's going to post a scorecard, preferably when the fight comes back on his TV, will anybody care?

I'd look at it.


Had Maidana 8-4
Rounds that could have been given to Floyd that I didn't, 4th ,11th ,12th.

edit* Oh yeah , did anyone notice Maidana not sitting down between round 11-12??

I agree with the bolded, and that's why I can go as far as respect a 115-113 in Floyd's favor, although giving Maidana 5 rounds out of ring generalship alone is a stretch imo.

For the rest, I have to disagree. Maidana wasn't being effective (apart from the cut caused by a clash of heads) and wasn't landing clean shots.

You score round by round, using the 4 criteria, but the weight you assign to each is subjective.

Maidana's aggressions was effective, he manoeuvre Mayweather where he wanted and landed his shots.

Maidana landed the heavier blows and more of them, Floyd's best punch in the fight was the jab to the body.

Maidana won 5 rounds clearly IMO

And I gave Maidana a couple of the swing rounds.

Floyd only won 3 rounds clearly.

i also want to know how you guys stay so sober that you can give scorecards you feel are competent. i was drunk as a skunk by the time collazo and khan were on TV.

big nuts, bro.

[..David..]

I saw it 116 - 112 for floyd

have to re watch it many times thou

[Croyd]

There's 2 more things that I use to gauge points during a round.
The sound of the glove landing and cleaner shots, if one fighter is landing the same amount of cleaner shots but his are louder, I'm giving him the round.

Head-snapping and knee-wobbling also comes into account. If I see a fighter's head constantly trying to spin like the exorcist or he gets buckled once or twice during the round , he does not win that round.

Floyd won it by a few rounds. Chino failed to land anything significant up top even though he was doing some serious damage to the body. A few close rounds but Floyd landed the cleaner shots overall to deserve the W.

7-5 floyd good fight from both men chino fouth aggressive and dirty as i suspected floyd returned the favor a few times and adjusted n won the latter rounds

[jg77]

7-5 Maidana, I could possibly see a draw, but Maidana won that fight.

It's pretty laughable that you some of you are giving Floyd the last 6 rounds. I was for sure that Maidana wouldn't be able to keep up the pace, but he was conditioned and fought all 12 rounds. I think a lot of you just convinced yourselves he was faded and gave Floyd the rounds. Like, how in the world do you score round 12 for Mayweather? Makes no sense at all.

I feel like most people just throw out Maidana's work to the body out the window. He kept Mayweather on the ropes majority of the fight. You can duck and dodge all you want, but you can't potshot and throw a couple jabs to the body and win the round. I thought the compubox stats were ****, and Maidana's defense was above average in this fight. If you watch again, you'll see Mayweather was missing a lot too.

I stopped being interested by the outcome of the fight as soon as I realised that Maidana is not fighting with his usual gloves...
