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.
