Had a chance to watch Maidana-Mayweather. Boring and one-sided fight

Direct TV offered free Showtime this week in order to promote the new tv series--Penny Dreadful. (It's dreadfully unoriginal and boring.)
This gave me the opportunity to watch Maidana-Mayweather. I thought it was a boring one-sided fight. Maidana beat the stew out of Mayweather who appeared as if he didn't care about the fight and didn't even want to be there.
I scored it 118-110 for Maidana.
I can't figure out the judging, commentary, or punch stats, none of which jibed with the fight I saw.
No way did Mayweather land more punches than Maidana, unless body shots don't count.
I think boxing experts already want to coronate Mayweather as the greatest fighter pound for pound of all time and don't want to tarnish his "unbeaten" record.
Of course, he's not really unbeaten...a skinny Mexican beat him a long time ago, but he was giftwrapped the decision in that one too.

Boxing isn't only about who lands more punches. That's how amateur boxing is scored. Not professional boxing.

Mayweather and the experts can beat their chests all they want. He ducked the second best fighter for far too long to ever be considered the best P4P fighter in history. Stay duckin Floyd. Stay duckin.
ETA: That link is audio NSFW btw.
ETA2: One of my favorite radio bits ever along with Stern vs. Rome 2.

Mayweather should have been deducted 20 points for bringing Justin Beiber with him. Wtf man?

I had Maidana winning 115-113, but no way the gap was this big.

Throwing a whole bunch of punches and not landing them doesn't mean you win the fight.
Mayweather landed more shots

I personally can't get into mayweather fights.
He is the best defensive fighter ever, but he often doesn't beat hisopponents, just outpoints them.
He hasn't knocked anyone out since a few tomotoe cans in the 1990's. He has a handful of tkos since 2000, to go with all of his decisions. He never fought the one guy people wanted to see himfight (for whatever reason).
I just can't get into the mayweather hype, fights.

116-112 Mayweather. Was the least boring of his fights since Cotto.

I really think the only way to beat him at this point is to knock him out.
And that ain't happenin.

It'll happen unless he just doesn't fight anyone. Time catches up to everyone. Everyone thought Roy Jones Jr was invincible until he got caught. All it takes is a split second slower reaction time.

After watching all of Mayweather's recent fights, I've realized I'm the problem. If that's the best boxing has to offer, then it's obvious that I'm just not interested.

I just want the pacquio and mayweather fight to happen.

He knocked Victor Ortiz out a couple of years ago, in hilarious fashion.
