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

    I didn't know that I'd have to point out that when I say "at least" I'm talking about my own scorecard.

    I don't see your score, though. I gave Maidana rounds 3 and 6. Fairly convincingly, too. Couple that with rounds 1 and 5 (which I also gave to Maidana), and there you have my card for the first half of the fight.

    Floyd didn't show up until round 7.

    Scorecards are subjective, though. Like I said, I had Mayweather winning 7-5. So I don't really see what you're debating me about, as we had the same outcome.
    But they weren't clear rounds though. 4 and 6. They could easily have gone either way and I gave both to Floyd.

    6 in particular could very easily have gone to Floyd and all 3 judges have it Floyd aswell.

    Of course you're referring to your own scorecard what I'm saying is how can you say he won atleast 4 of the first 6 when there wasn't 4 clear cut Maidana rounds?

    The only rounds Maidana without a doubt won were 1,5 and 8.

    And my card is;

    Maidana - 1,3,5,8

    Mayweather - 2,4,6,7,9,10,11,12

      We're just not going to agree on this. I gave Maidana round 12 quite clearly, too. Which was the fifth round he won on my card by that point. Watched it twice now. Same score.

      Same outcome. Much different scores.

        I'm not that smart to score fights...

        But I was told that Maidana wasn't allowed to use his commission approved Everlast MX gloves and he was "forced" to use the Everlast Protech gloves -- made of pure foam...
        I'd have a question: why do Everlast sells the MX gloves and why boxers are allowed to use them in official fights?

          What did Maidana do to win round 6 convincingly?. Floyd "stole" that round fairly easily if you ask me.
          Maidana punched air for 2.30 minutes and ate a couple of uppercuts. Mayweather clearly dominated the last 30 seconds. He was landing left hooks and straight rights at will.

          Round 3 could go either way, I think many people gave it to Maidana just because Floyd fought very cautiously after he got cut.

          I have no problem with scoring it a 7-5 in Floyd's favor , although I find it a rather generous score for el Chino.

            What would people have to had to say if they ruled the fight a "draw" or a "split draw"?
            That Floyd was robbed of a 9-3, 8-4 win, right?

              Scored it 8-4 for Floyd. Maidana gave Floyd one of the toughest fights he's had in a long time but Floyd pulled off the win.

                117-111 Floyd. Could be 116-112
                Two of the judges were actually watching the fight. No way was this a draw or Maidana win

                  I'm curious how you managed to "give" Maidana 4 rounds -- because during the fight you scored nearly all rounds in Floyd's favour... !?!

                    Watched it again and still can't find more than 4 rounds to give Maidana with every benefit of the doubt. Not really sure which fight some people watched tbh.

                      Was a good fight, there were some close rounds, I can see a draw or even Maidana scraping it being generous, but I think the right man won with the cleaner more accurate punching and better defense.
