Rumors of Floyd Mayweather's demise have already been greatly exaggerated. Mayweather set on a masterclass in his win against Robert Guerrero on Saturday evening. There was no doubt he was the deserved winner. Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports had the judges' ratings from the fight: Guerrero appeared good early, but which was likely down seriously to Mayweather lulling him in to a false sense of security before taking over the struggle. Money May took Guerrero's most readily useful punches early and determined exactly what he have to do to avoid them. He understood what he could and couldn't do from The Ghost. Mayweather made adjustments, while Guerrero was not able to achieve this. He kept trying the same ways over and over again, but Mayweather already had them identified. Getting into the struggle, Mayweather had to manage questions about his age and almost year-long layoff following his make an impression on Miguel Cotto. Plus, Money Might had taken some important blows against Cotto. There looked to be an opening there if Guerrero could land key punches and hit Mayweather around early in the fight. Unfortunately for The Ghost, he didn't do that, and Mayweather overran the fight. Because the fight continued, Guerrero knew he'd to make an effort to hit Mayweather out and just take more risks. As he did that, Mayweather ample opportunity was given by him to hit right back on the counter. That is just what Money May did the complete battle. Counterpunching has always been among Mayweather's best assets, and it's an art that's not departed from his collection just yet. It is ridiculous how little Mayweather was struck in the battle, particularly when compared with the punishment he dished out (h/t ESPN Stats and Info ): At 36 years old, Mayweather has lost a step or two. He wasn't getting around the ring like he could three to four years back. Seemed to own opened herself up a little too much and there were a few times when Mayweather was somewhat too stationary. Money Might nevertheless has his lightning-quick reflexes, however, and eliminated Guerrero's offense. The best practitioners, much like any other professional athlete, find methods to pay due to their fall. Mayweather is an clever fighter. He knows how to change his design to be able to remain world-class. Some may be knocking Guerrero's ability degree and saying that Mayweather should prove himself against a much better fighter. Perhaps Mayweather should have knocked Guerrero out. Guerrero isn't any scrub. Mayweather only made him seem like one. That is the issue when you are certainly one of the best practitioners in the world. It's hard to find worthy opposition. So far as the claims concerning the battle go, they're stupid. Certain knockouts are always fascinating, but not every battle could end this way. Recognize Mayweather's fashion for what it's. He was fantastic against Guerrero and fought an excellent fit. Plus, you can not blame Mayweather if he doesn't want to stay inside and go toe-to-toe with someone like Guerrero. Why get hit when you can simply avoid your opponent's crime? Your career will be much longer and you'll thank yourself down the road. Listed here is to hoping supporters will remain treated to similar performances from Mayweather later on.
