Floyd didn't adjust, Maidana just gassed out
but Floyd did control the latter portion of the fight
Maidana outperformed expectations by far, but he still lost
had he kept it going late he coulda gotten the decision
but Floyd did what he had to do late and earned that win
don't see how he really did anything different late, but he did win it

I had Floyd winning 7 to 5, but some of those rounds were razor close and I have no problem with a 7 to 5 Maidana score. 8-4 Maidana or 8-4 Floyd is too much and 9-3 either way is ridiculous. Pretty much every boxing writer worth his salt had it between 115-113 Floyd and 115-113 Maidana. Even Paulie Malignaggi, a scorer that always favors the boxer (surprise, surprise) had the fight 115-114 Floyd. If he scored the fight that way from ringside (which he did), your whole argument goes up in smoke. Paulie is biased for pure boxers, which he has shown time and again, and yet he still had it closer than you say is possible.

I had the fight 116-112 Mayweather,it was a relatively easy fight too score,I don't see in where lies the controversy.I think had Maidana not raised his hand at the end of the fight and Floyd not been such a controversial figure in the sport,there wouldn't have been any objections to the scorecards.Maidana for the most part was content in whaling away like an angry lumber jack with clubbing inaccurate shots to the back and top of the head.I can't really blame him as it worked to befuddle at least one judge into giving him a draw and in the past that strategy has worked for example ODLH against Pernell,but lucky two of the other judges scored actually effective punches landed.

Floyd won the fight and it really wasn't even close in terms of scoring. It was a competitive fight in terms of Chino made things uncomfortable for Floyd. And in terms of Floyd didn't outclassed him. But based on scoring a boxing match properly, giving Chino four rounds is probably being generous.
