Mayweather Schools Marquez

September 20, 2009

by Hal Clarke

Bout of Saturday, September 19, 2009.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is a great boxer. Yet time and again people seem to forget, caught up in the hype of boxing's flavor of the month. If last night's thrashing by Mayweather of Juan Manuel Marquez doesn't wake up the forgetful then I suppose nothing will.

Too fast, too big, too good defensively, and in total control throughout Floyd Mayweather put on a boxing clinic in his 144lb bout with Juan Manuel Marquez. With a precision jab, hard, accurate left hooks, and an unmatched cunning that never allows his opponent an offensive opening Floyd's performance was a thing of beauty. Mayweather's only negative: he came in two pounds overweight.

Simply put, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the best boxer in the world. Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, or Shane Mosley, Floyd beats them all.

 

Mayweather moves to 40-0 (25 KO)

Marquez moves to 50-5-1 (37 KO)

 

Marquez down once in round 2.

Here is the official scoring of the fight:

120-107, 119-108, 118-109 (All Three Judges for Mayweather)

Quote of the Night:

"You talk too much." - Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in his post-fight response to Commentator Max Kellerman's repeated question about Floyd going over the bout's contracted weight limit and now having to face a legitimate 147 lber.
