Thought it was interesting that Breadman Edwards scored the fight 7-5 for Floyd. Stephen Edwards is one of the best boxing brains anywhere and his score is the only one I've seen that was that close. He said he thought Marcos did well again. He used the 115-112 judge, with the point deduction, as proof that he wasn't crazy. He even went as far as too say he wanted to see it a third time.
I think pretty much Golovkin is the only guy on here who has said Maidana did well. I was too frustrated with the reffing to score it as I watched it.
Interestingly enough he supported Kenny Bayless's job of the fight(which I thought gave us about 1/3 of a great fight.) He said that Bayless was definitely factoring in the animal aggression of Chino and was looking to break them early as part of his gameplan for reffing the fight. And then he sorta reversed his previous position on Tony Weeks' job for the first fight(which I thought was one of the best reffed fights of the year. In that fight, fighters could attempt to communicate with the ref, and vice versa, without the
action stopping. He now says that Weeks did a poor job that night.)
His commentary sorta echoes Teddy Atlas' and Manny's who were both critical of Floyd's fight. Hard to trust a lot of commentators out there; I'm more inclined to trust crazy-ass Floyd Fans, and NSBers in general, than Showtime commentators, HBO color guys, Kevin Iole or whoever. So many bought men.
