    10th round: Canelo had a good flurry with about a minute left in the round but it looked like Mayweather was coasting and landed more punch in this round too.

    11th round ends and Mayweather is winning this fight BIG. Canelo needs a knockout to win.

    It's all over except for the announcement of the judges' totals. Mayweather should be an unanimous winner.

    Majority decision. Classic.

    Boxing sinks a little lower every chance it gets.

    UK announcer can't believe that a judge sat there near the ring and scored it a draw. A travesty.

    I saw the post of the scores and before I scrolled down I sent to a friend "SOMEONE HAD THAT FIGHT SPLIT?"

    I mean, I don't watch boxing and I know that wasn't even a competition. Mayweather was just toying with him from about 6 on.

    Canelo should have stayed cut instead of bloating up.

    Mayweather in his interview on Showtime tells everybody to go to his website & buy a hat and a shirt. Guess that $135 million in his checking account isn't enough. He needs more money. LOL

    C. J. Ross was the judge that called the fight a draw. She's, yes a female boxing judge, made other bad calls, just google her name.

    He already has that money on the Cowboys tomorrow, I'm sure. He's going to need some merchandise profits to take care of his other debts.

    The UK BoxNation feed in post one (still active) has switched to the controversial June 2000 Sugar Shane Mosley vs. Oscar De La Hoya fight in LA.

    Awful scoring...as usual.
    I scored it 118-110, not even close.
