Exactly. This fight was'nt close at all. Maidana missed all that back head crap.

I scored it a draw

In the eyes of many who were watching on television or from ringside, Floyd Mayweather had to come from behind, adjusting and battling back to take a majority decision over Marcos Maidana.

But in fact, two of the three official judges only had Mayweather down on the scorecards once ***8212; following the first round. After that, they had it a draw after two at one round apiece, and then had Mayweather ahead for the remainder of the night.

That was the problem. Maidana was clearly ahead in the 1st 1/2 of the fight.

It's pretty clear that Maidana needed a knockout to win. The opening to the article is the most telling, Maidana up after 1, a draw after 2, Mayweather up after 3-12 on two of the cards. This despite the fact that Maidana did his best work during the first half of the fight.

Boxing is rigged as can be.

Looking at the 2 bought cards, it also stands out that there was allowance given against potential knockdowns, as well. Just consider the 116-112 card:

Moretti gave Mayweather rounds 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11. He gave Maidana rounds 1, 5, 8 and 12.

It is no wonder that the 12th round was scored for Maidana, to make it seem closer. Had Maidana say scored a knockdown in round 10, Moretti could've scored round 12 for Mayweather, thus still giving him the win.

Had Maidana winning 7-5 115-113. Marcos won the 1st-5th, Floyd won the 6th-10th, and Chino stole the 11th and 12th rounds. Floyd was very uncomfortable during those rounds, however he adjusted very well to turn the tide. The worst decision should have been a draw. Mayweather knew he had lost the fight, he looked embarrassed before the decision was announced. Also at the post fight press conference he was very defensive when asked questions. Khan was docked a point for holding against Louie, same should've happened with Floyd. He was making it a clinch-fest. Chino controlled the tempo of the fight. Those 117-111 and 116-112 scorecards were a disgrace.

Good post.

[ADP02]

The look on Floyd when the scores were about to be announced was telling. This was no 117-111 or 116-112 for Floyd. Floyd's face was concerned that they may actually give the fight to Maidana.
