I heard it was a narrow win for Mayweather, does anyone know if it was unanimous or majority decision?

It was a typical, phony split decision. Almost all of the HBO analysts called Mayweather a “brilliant” defensive fighter. Yeah, if you call backpedaling and throwing the occasional punch the entire fight a great “defensive” strategy. LOL! De La Hoya himself said that the contender should *decisively* de-throne the champion, and he’s absolutely correct. Worst of all, neither fighter’s punches had knock-out power. Hell, I never saw a drop of blood or even a single bruise or swollen lip on the face of either fighter! Even Larry Merchant thought that Mayweather is an overrated fighter, and asked how any fighter who doesn’t throw combinations could climb to the ranks of champion. Thank goodness the only thing I wasted in watching that joke of a fight was my time. I’ll spend the $55.00 I saved on something a bit more worthwhile.
