    I thought it was a draw.

    Khan looked good, Floyd would batter him though I reckon.

      Thought Amir looked fantastic - its utterly fascinating watching Khan. For all his impressiveness and dominance in a fight, you always get the impression that the fight is just one big hit away from changing in an instant. His legs buckled at one point, but he got through it. Made me laugh with his "What time is it?" *spins away leaving opponent confused* "Its nine o clock mate" - His speed of movement was awesome, as was his hand speed. Hope this is a genuine new start for him, because he's so much fun to watch.

      Floyd didn't like being roughed up and struggled to cope with it for the first few rounds, especially when he was cut - he couldn't quite believe it and acted like a bit of a spoilt kid. The only way he's losing at Vegas is if someone knocks him out though, he's worth far too much money to their economy. That said, he probably did do enough to get the decision.

        I had Floyd by 3 rounds. After 6 rounds I had them even and then Mayweather started to pick Maidana off. Don't understand how people have it as a draw, or Maidana thinking he won the fight - Maidana landed 9 fewer shots despite throwing 400 more punches.

        Khan looked fantastic as well, his speed and movement really could trouble Mayweather. People say that Floyd's defence is too good and he can dodge anyone, but he has never fought anyone as fast as him, never mind faster! One thing I did notice with Khan was his power wasn't there - that needs sorting somehow. if he wants to fight the top lads and win, he'll need more power - thought with him moving up a weight class his power would actually increase...

          I always think it's a bit cheesy when people keep a scorecard themselves while watching boxing

            I always do. Resident 'expert' I am when its fight night.

            FYI - I had Khan winning by 8 or 9, and Mayweather the same.

              Do you get your whistle out (not a euphemism) when watching the football too Teebag? Blowing for every free kick and waving little hand-made yellow cards about?

                I do the yellow card hand wave.

                Whistle would be a touch OTT wouldn't it young fake'un.

                  There will deffo be a rematch between the two come September, especially since Amir can't fight then.

                    Yeah, Mayweather just showed why he is up there but just below Ali. He does it time and time again, denying his opponent and showing moments of true genius. He won almost every single round in my eyes with the cleaner more accurate work. Maidana is just a wild clumsy fighter with a massive heart.

                      Labling Maidana as clumsy is harsh, imo. He is a very skilled boxer and has shown it in the past on a number of occasions.

                      Maidana had to fight Mayweather, as opposed to boxing him - there's no way he, or anyone for that matter, could out-box Mayweather whereas he could definitely rough him up on the inside and cause him problems, like he did in the first half of the fight.

                      As for scoring rounds, I always say I won't do it but find myself picking a winner at the end of each round and it goes from there!

                            Undefeated heavyweight champion boxer Deontay Wilder BEAT THE HELL out of a real life Internet troll who had been harassing him for years.

                            The guy who got his face bashed in is Charlie Zelenoff — a wannabe fighter who's been trolling Wilder for years with harassing phone calls and deeply personal jabs on social media.

                            Wilder claims Charlie has not only hurled racial slurs at him — but also made disparaging comments about his young daughter, who was diagnosed with spina bifida.

                            Zelenoff had recently challenged Wilder to fight him at a boxing gym in L.A. — and Wilder, deciding enough was enough, met him at the Hollywood Boxing Gym late Wednesday night.

                            Wilder tried to fight Zelenoff in the ring — but CZ threw a c heap shot and ran for the door

                              I try not to laugh as I honestly think he's ill, he's been getting up to this sort of stuff for nearly a decade now. Posting video's about his Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian obsession, hitting a punching bag and calling himself the greatest of all time, in his "fights" he usually runs away as soon as someone walks at him, puts his arms in the air and declares himself the winner then is straight on the internet to tell everyone he's now 45 and 0 and wants Klitschko next.

                              Floyd Sr let him in the gym, had a play around with him then Zelenoff sucker punched him.

                                At the end of the Wilder pounding he's like "I'm still the best" and still mouthing off like ****. Must have a deathwish ....or as you say he's ill.

                                Gonna watch these vids now. Really enjoyed Wilder battering him having read a bit of background.
