The 117-111 Mayweather card is god damn brutal, one of the worst cards Ive ever seen. What planet is this judge living on? Or more likely how much was he paid by Floyd-Haymon-Showtime to register this awfully inaccurate scorecard? This score demonstrates such a strong officiating bias, that its obvious to me Maidana would never get a decision, he needed to win by KO [\b]. Kaptain also correctly noted the bias in Showtime's replays between rounds. Lastly, a comment on the punchstats: According to Showtime, Mayweather and Maidana landed roughly the same amount of punches, Mayweather landing 230 and Maidana landing 220. It's important to note that these numbers are extremely subjective and are counted by Showtime employees, thus they yield to the same bias as the replays (which seem to show only Mayweather's best moments). What's also notable is that Mayweather threw 500 or so punches, Maidana threw 1000. Thrown punch stats are more reliable because there is much less subjectivity involved in counting them.
