    Great Fight, With good Drama

    overall fight card a solid B

    Broner is still a ? , but can turn out to be one of boxings biggest heels ever

    Mayweather is still money, but can be hit, and should retire after the contract is up

    Maidana is a warrior, who knows how to make a fight look sam cassell ugly

    J'Leon Love still is a hoe

    And Khan is a good fighter but cannot fight on the inside worth ?

    That ? looked closer than it was because it was Floyds closest fight in years. Just because you ugly up the fight doesn't mean you won. That ? missed a lot of punches. Just like cotto

    landing a punch does not mean it has to land clean. floyd did not fully block all of his punches. if you check the punch stats you see it was pretty even.
    and if u judge it from a pro fight standpoint and not amatuer judging you would know punches landed are not the end all be all but rather part of scoring a round.
    there were rounds floyd landed cleaner shots, but he got out worked for 130-2 mins of the round

    Broner looked the same to me I might hop off that bandwagon. He still gets hit too much for my liking.

    So from pro fight judging stanpoint Floyd's offense and defense was much better than Maidana's. Maidana was more aggressive and less successful. However you word the ? it still adds up to an L

    Busy work isn't always good work though. I do think his aggressiveness should be credited but he didn't really land any clean punches and his body work didn't do as much to slow floyd down as Floyd's did to him. He wasn't efficient or consistent enough. Part of that is because Floyds conditioning and part is because it became difficult to keep it up after he caught chinos rhythm. I could agree with the fight being scored anywhere from 9-3 to 7-5 mayweather.

    Floyd could of out boxed dude. Movement like he had vs Canelo and it's an easy fight. You can tell he was going for the knock out the whole fight.

    Setting him up with the body shots. Maidana is a tough sob though. He did a lot of ? ? tonight. This isn't a wrestling, holding, shoving, ball punching contest. .. this is boxing. Let your hands do the talking.

    Any way money well spent

    Too much money to be made from a rematch, even more than was made tonight. If they rematch, look for Floyd to box more and make it look nothing like tonight.
