Just rewatched Mayweather vs Maidana...

[Showtime..]

Boxing matches are fights and fights are won by landing clean punches which Maidana simply did not do much of.

Prescott Win via First-Round Knockout. Please, you're only rooting Floyd so he won't rematch Maidana so he can fight Khan.

Just finished watching it again. Anything from 7-5 to 9-3 Mayweather, I can accept.

I agree
I've only seen it once but I had it 9-3 possibly 8-4
Competitive but clear

Honestly it looked a lot like Pac-Bradley II in terms of momentum

Khan can't fight in September and I'd like to see Khan get another fight in before facing Floyd next May so try again.

I don't particularly want to see Mayweather-Maidana II simply because I didn't think it was all that close but if it happens, so be it.

It was indeed a very close fight but after rewatching it 4 times, I had Maidana winning by 3 rounds clearly. The activity of Maidana was a big key in his win last night.

Quantity has a quality all it's own.

I still haven't done a good re-watch, but I had it 7-5 Maidana with my rough watch through. For the, "But the clean punches!" guys. Fighting is about winning rounds. One guy bullied and beat the other, and pressed and mostly dominated the action all night. Yeah, Maidana slowed a bit in the back half of the fight, but Floyd just straight up didn't get **** done. The end.

Clean punching is 1 of the 4 scoring criteria in a professional boxing match.

Can you shoe me where "Pressing the action" is?

[MayMosPeaHop]

No way this fight was a draw. 8-4 Mayweather. You do not win rounds for roughing up a fighter.

[major handz]

First viewing a draw for me
Second was 7-5
Third was a draw

Half way in to my fourth watch now I'm seeing quirks and all in all I see a dead even fight

"Pressing the action" is what dictates Effective aggressiveness: A boxer demonstrates this trait when he consistently and successfully moves forward in a controlled manner.



Just sayin'. Maidana also controlled the pace of the fight, which in turn, relates to "ring generalship".
