Maidana 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12
Mayweather 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Body work is what slowed Floyd down NOT because he wanted to grace us with a brawl as he claims.
Maidana's jab and feints kept Mayweather at bay; Maidana's defense is better than people think.
Give credit to Garcia for introducing the jab into Chino's arsenal. That was the deciding factor in the fight along with the constant body work. The left hook to the body paid off huge along with the thudding rights.
"Dirty" fight on BOTH sides though. Neither side can complain as there were numerous elbows to the face, over hooking of arms, and low blows.
Clearly any boxer who can keep constant pressure and has a decent beard will smother Floyd for long stretches and nullify him just like Maidana did. Good fight but if he intends on fighting only three more times it should be some fresh matchup's:
1. Khan - interesting match up due to the speed but Khan's chin might betray him
2. Pacquiao - clearly; but don't think he has the punch resistance currently that would be needed to absorb some of those sneaky right hands and uppercuts
3. Thurman/Porter/Garcia/Bradley - fantasy tourney for a shot at Mayweather

Maidana just fought a much smarter fight then Guerrero or Canelo. They let Floyd do his thing in the middle of the ring, Guerrero smothered all his work on the ropes.
Maidana really had success the first 6 rounds, though Floyd still landed often as well, particularly the 2nd where I felt he won the round, and the 5th. Floyd then took over the 2nd half. Take the beer goggles off, and tell me who landed most of the punches rounds 7-12.....it was Floyd clearly, though Chino still made him work.
anybody else starting to see a trend with Floyd, when he gets frustrated he tends to exchange/trade with his opponent, he did it vs Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto and Maidana last night

round 1: Maidana
round 2: Mayweather
round 3: Maidana
round 4: Maidana(close rd)
round 5: Maidana (hurt floyd momentarily too)
round 6: Maidana (Very close rd, Maidana beat the crap out of floyd for a full 2 minutes and 30 seconds, floyd did some nice work in the last 30 seconds of the rd, besides that, did nothing besides a nice uppercut earlier, gave it to maidana due to his overall body of work)
round 7: Mayweather
round 8: Maidana (rolled/slipped majority of mayweather's punches, worked the hell out of floyds body, landed a beautiful hook and overhand)
round 9: Mayweather (clear round, maidana did nothing, floyd landed alot)
round 10: Mayweather
round 11: Mayweather
round 12: Mayweather (really close rd, mayweather was more consistent, so i gave it to him)
draw or should the sixth be given to floyd, mayweather by a point

I had the fight a draw at 114-114. I would like to see the rematch immediately.
Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana II
Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse II
Peter Quillin vs. Daniel Jacobs
Omar Figueroa vs. Jorge Linares
I'd buy that card right now, or hell even drive from LA to Vegas to go see it.

I don't understand all this talk about bodywork.
Maidana's shots to the body were either smothered, blocked, or landed on Floyd's back (which is -not- a legal or clear shot).
As a side note, I'm surprised Maidana was't taken a point off after his blatant attempt to knee Floyd , not to mention the rabbit punches.
El chino fought like a leaner (rip) Tony Galento. Ballsy display, but no way he won.
