For now, Mayweather can bask in the glory of a successful comeback. He defeated Marquez more conclusively than anyone ever has and despite his protestations to the contrary, appeared to have barley missed a beat. At times, it looked like he had got several more gears to go up. Is he the best in the world, pound-for-pound? That is a mouth-watering prospect. Mayweather is not and likely never will be the most exciting fighter in the world. However, with all due respect to Pacquiao, he may be the most complete.
An impressive though not sell-out and mostly Mexican crowd of 13, vociferously booed Mayweather, accompanied by WWE wrestler Triple H, during his ring walk. Only someone who emits such an arrogant image could get such a negative reaction in the town he has called home for so many years. Marquez was clearly the crowd favourite, but as the fighters squared up before the bell, Mayweather looked a division or two bigger, taller and broader in the shoulders.
I gave the Mexican the first but the three judges disagreed. Juan Manuel was up quickly, though, and seemed alright. With this being Mayweather, there was no storm to weather. Marquez came back with a solid left uppercut, however, to show he was still in the fight,.
Mayweather made Marquez fall short in the third, landing sharp, accurate jabs. Floyd Mayweather actually gained the most from the narrow and debatable decision from the judges after the fight.
Mayweather and Marquez both have a very similar style and obviously Pacquiao has a problem stopping it. I want to clean up the division so everyone will know I'm the best fighter. Mayweather refused to be drawn into any speculation about his next opponent. All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. Everybody wants to fight me. I can't fight everybody. Landing on Marquez at will. His most dangerous shot being his ridiculous left hook. Surely now, it's his "trademark" shot, and one of the most effective punches in boxing.
For any Floyd rookies, he throws a snapping left jab. He also throws a lightening quick left hook. The problem for opponents is the fact that they look identical from the shoulder. He looks like he is throwing a jab. Most fighters don't mind taking jabs, so don't defend. Oh no, it's actually a hook, and he's just landed a power shot on you.
Floyd lands this shot again, and again, and again. And they never work it out. It's impossible to work out. As a fan of technical boxing, I loved this fight. It was a masterclass of counter punching technical fighting. Marquez may be a small-ish fighter. But he's not a slow fighter.
And he's not an inaccurate fighter. Throwing nearly That's not a bad fighter. Marquez is a great fighter, who would give most fighters a very hard fight.
Contrary to popular belief, Mayweather actually invited Mosely and Hopkins into the ring. Weeks in the making. It was staged by Golden Boy.
