Mayweather dismantles Mosley with ease as fight goes to form

Gareth A Davies
The Floyd Mayweather show goes on – the slickest boxer of this generation demonstrating once again that he is unsurpassable, breaking Shane Mosley down over 12 one sided rounds in a Las Vegas ring to finish the winner in a lopsided contest. It went to form.


It was a landslide decision, with the judges awarding the fight 118-110, 119-109 twice to the 33-year-old by unanimous decision. I had it 119-110. I scored it 10-10 for the first round, and thought Mosley took the second with gusto, when he momentarily had the younger man under fire. But Mayweather recovered and returned fire by the end of the round. Thereafter, he dismantled Mosley piece by piece turning him into a 38-year-old jigsaw puzzle by the end of the second third of the contest. There is much to admire in the work of ‘Money’, who, if pay-per-view buys on Home Box Office have reached 2 million, he will have walked away with the best part of £36 million pounds.

Mayweather maintained his unbeaten record, moved to 41-0, and from here, all talk will be of a Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiation. Expect Mayweather to hold all the cards.
