I think we saw exactly what the majority thought we would,with the exceptions of a few predicting a Mayweather KO and a few...cough.....picking Marquez to shock the world and pull off a victory for the ages.Hi.
Floyd took Marquez for purely his name relevance and how it will translate into a showdown with Pacquiao.The reclaiming the hollow title of p4p #1 a priority as well.That is deep for Mayweather.It was said prior to the fight...Marquez is NOT a welter.He has been in some hellish battles and the wear and tear was obvious...and his style had changed in a big way.More frontal,less defense and gunning for the TKO.I do not think he is a shot fighter,nor done and headed for retirement.Mayweather maximized all of his advantages,being fresh and well rested,being a shot caller in regards to promotion and allowed to bend the rules,speed,reflex,defense,and being a fooking Jr middle once the bell rang going up vs a bulky over stuffed lightweight.And people simply cannot deny that.Eat it up.He's getting away with what he can as the fans shell out money to lap it up.History will reflect such and I dont think it will be kind.He retired and the division got hot while Manny passed him by.He wants his status back.Marquez is a weary warrior and fought his set off against all odds and has nothing to be ashamed of.
