I just finished watching the fight. Got to say a few things about it.
1. Only one judge even came close to being right on scoring, and that was the one with the tie vote.
2. A different referee could have resulted in a very different outcome. Someone like 'let them fight' Smoger for instance, wouldn't have broken them up as often as Weeks did.
3. And for those here that said Maidana wouldn't put a glove on Mayweather, well he did. He put 2 gloves on him lots of times!
I had it 5-1 for the first 6 rounds on my score card in favor of Maidana and fairly split the last 6 rounds. No way was there a 117-111 score except on the blind scorer's card!
Mayweather won't give Maidana a rematch because frankly he could very well lose to Maidana in any sane world, and the foul tactics that Mayweather didn't like are just sour grapes on his part. Mayweather does his own fair share of that himself.
But the article claiming that it will take a knockout to beat Mayweather is probably spot on. The only way that someone will beat Mayweather is to take it out of the judges hands!
