HOT NEWS!
Floyd Mayweather Jr. v Robert GuerreroSaturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, pound 4 pound best Floyd Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) defended his WBC welterweight title with a  masterful one-sided twelve round unanimous decision against Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KOs). Guerrero didn’t come out fighting aggressive as he had mentioned that he would do instead he tried to lay back and counter Mayweather. Neither fighter did much in the first three rounds. Floyd landed a few pot shots in round an throughout the early rounds. Guerrero was a sitting duck for the lead right hand which Floyd began to connect often. Guerrero was cut over the left eye in round eight from a Mayweather right hook. Guerrero had no answer to what Floyd was doing in the ring and Guerrero started to fight desperate but he wasn’t effective. When the final bell sounded to end the last round the judges scored the fight the same way. 117-111.
