Mayweather Stays Unblemished via Impressive Win over Guerrero

The Ghost falls victim to the streak

Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. put on a boxing clinic as he claimed the WBC and Ring Magazine Welterweight crown after cruising past a determined Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero via unanimous decision in front of the ecstatic crowd in MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas Nevada last May 5.

After several heated off-ring encounters, the two boxers finally let their fists do the talking and Mayweather thoroughly proved that he was the superior fighter as he pummeled Guerrero round after round that he followed up with the quick and slick defense that he is known for.

Mayweather began to take control in the 2nd and 3rd round and he never looked back, even busting up Guerrero's eye in the 8th round on his way to registering his 44th win in his perfect boxing career with 26 KO's.

Guerrero showed some flashes of brillance in the opening round but it clearly wasn't enough as he was completely outclassed by "Money" Mayweather. Guerrero was missing badly for majority of the fight and was repeatedly tagged with precise shots by the champion.

Guerrero kept on stalking Mayweather around the ring but it was for naught, as he couldn't keep up with excellent hand and foot speed of  Mayweather who kept slipping past him.

All 3 judges scored the bout, 117-111.

Maidana Escapes Morales

Impressive show for both Fighters

A very worthy fight of the year candidate…

After dominating the first 4rounds of the fight, Marcos Maidana almost got overwhelmed by a determined comeback by Mexican legend Erik Morales but went on to salvage a majority decision victory to bag the WBA Light Welterweight Championship inthe jam packed MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada.

Morales hardly punched in the opening rounds which caused him to be behind by a big margin that his valiant comeback came up short but he put up a great fight that very few anticapted due to the age difference and the fact that Morales just came off retirement.

The Argentinian slugger Maidana closed the last 2 rounds in good form and that spelled the difference in this close and exciting bout but all should commend the effort of Morales because he fought 11 rounds with one eye as the other gradually closed starting the first round yet he rocked Maidana many times and made fans realize that he still have fight left in him.

A loud howl of disappointment from the pro – Morales crowd echoed throughout the arena when Maidana was declared the winner after witnessing “El Terrible” put up an admirable fight.

Many fans want to see a rematch between the two fighters.

Meanwhile, Nobuhiro Ishida shocked the boxing world by knocking out the undefeated and outright favorite James Kirkland in the first round of their undercard match while Robert Guerrero outclassed Michael Katsidis in an exciting and action packed encounter.
