Lowell Cohn wrote today that both fighters proved to be courageous and that Mayweather proved to be one of the most skilled fighters in the history of the science. So true.

The two proved you don't have to be Gatti with his hands down on the ropes to make for a very entertaining fight. Loved every second of it. I think the hug at the end was symbolic of the fight.
Good post. I too loved every second of the fight.

I nearly ripped the fellar's arm clean outta socket that was sitting beside me. He too loved the fight...as did most of the people that were there to see a good fight & not project the massive amounts of bitter bullshit.

The fight did just what it was supposed to & it was indeed a great night for boxing.
