WelshDevilRob Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Mayweather wins easily By Andreas Hale and David Hudson at ringside http://fightnews.com/wp-content/uploads/COZ3519.jpg Coming back from a 21-month layoff, multi-division world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) took a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) in a welterweight clash on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bigger, quicker Mayweather dropped Marquez in round two with a left hook and pretty much had his way the entire twelve rounds. Scores were 118-109, 120-107, 119-108. —– WBA featherweight champion Chris John (43-0-1, 22 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Rocky Juarez (28-5-1, 20 KOs). John outworked Juarez over the first eleven rounds, but was rocked by Juarez in the twelfth. Scores were 114-113, 119-109, 117-111. John and Juarez previously battled to a draw in February. —– In a clash for the vacant WBO interim lightweight title, Michael Katsidis (26-2, 21 KOs) pressured Vicente Escobedo (21-2, 13 KOs) for twelve rounds to claim 115-113, 118-110 win on two cards. Escobedo was ahead 116-112 on the third card. —– Featherweight Cornelius Lock (19-4-1, 12 KOs) impressively kayoed previously unbeaten Orlando Cruz (16-1-1, 7 KOs) in round five. Lock dropped Cruz in round one and finished him at 2:08 of the fifth with a right uppercut. With the win, Lock claimed the vacant NABO belt. —– Welterweight Said Ouali (26-3, 18 KOs) demolished Francisco Rios (17-11, 12 KOs) via TKO at 1:27 in the second. Ouali dropped Rios twice in the first and twice in the second before Jay Nady waved the fight off. —– Unbeaten middleweight Erislandy Lara (8-0, 5 KOs) scored a first round KO over veteran Jose Varela (23-6, 16 KOs). Time was 2:12. Lara is a highly regarded former amateur star from Cuba. —– Junior welterweight Jessie Vargas (6-0, 2 KOs) defeated Raul Tovar (6-2, 2 KOs) via six round unanimous decision (60-52 twice and 59-53). —– Lightweight Mike Perez (5-0-1, 2 KOs) defeated Richard Ellis (4-3, 2 KOs) via unanimous decision (38-36, 39-35 and 40-34). —– Middleweight Dion Savage (6-0, 4 KOs) TKO’d Loren Myers (7-7, 2 KOs) at :22 in the fourth round.

Bourne Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I really feel for Marquez, he's such a great fighter but he never had a chance. The size discrepancy in the fight was just huge. Still he made around 3,2million so he'll be allright. As much as I feel sorry for Mayweather's insecurity, he looked great. He looked so dominant. Too bad he doesn't want to fight Cotto and Mosley, two guys he has to fight if he want's to be an all time great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 mayweather brung his A game last night, every single round he made marquez look a average fighter. mayweather was just too big for marquez and you could see that with mayweathers punches when they landed. i hope the next fight we see is mayweather v pacman or cotto, a match against mosley would be too easy for mayweather.

Bourne Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'll care to elaborate: - No chance in hell that Floyd can hurt Mosley. - Mosley is bigger then Floyd. - Not quite as fast but def. not slow. Still I don't see Floyd losing that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matray Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 yeah... don't forget floyd's defense is incredible, to not say perfect... but still I think if there's one boxer that can definately beat PBF one day, it's probably Sugar Shane...

Faulks Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Its all about the $$$$ guys and im sorry but good old Sugar dont bring half of what Pac does to the table. For the record PBF would probaly beat either of them. He really is that good. You cant beat what you can not hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Felt sorry for Marquez Ah well, at least he got his biggest ever pay day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledhed Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 floyd didn't miss a beat after layoff but jmm obviously physically overmatched. jmm never gave up tho. kept coming and taking everything dished. floyd wanted ko bad but couldn't get it. so pacman supposed to be the next mega fight? he's even smaller than jmm. floyd's domination takes the intrigue off a match with manny for me. same thing would happen. maybe even manny ko'd. but the promoters and networks will be able to sell it to enough people. floyd belongs at welter fighting for mosley's world title.
