"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather and Carlos Manuel "Tata" Baldomir square off for the WBC welterweight championship in an HBO Pay Per View event on November 4 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The announcement was made today by Dan Goossen, President of Goossen Tutor Promotions, which is promoting the event in association with Sycuan Ringside Promotions. "First of all, we're ecstatic to see the 'true grit' abilities and determination of the modern day 'Cinderella Man' taking on the likes of Mayweather, clearly on the road to becoming one of the greatest of all time," Goossen declared. "Secondly, Mayweather-Baldomir on paper, conjures up thoughts as a 'Fight of the Year' candidate and from a sports fan's perspective this bout represents the linear world welterweight champion in Baldomir going against the pound for pound best in Mayweather. Mayweather continues to face champions in higher weight classes. This spectacular extravaganza will determine if 'size matters' when Baldomir tries to impose his will and strength on Mayweather or will the "Pretty Boy" show the world once again 'size doesn't matter' when fighting the best pound for pound fighter in the world?"



Cory Spinks' manager Kevin Cunningham had previously told the press that a November 4 bout between Spinks and Mayweather was "99% done."

Floyd will be Boxing a statue that nite, Baldo is slow as shat and as agile as a piece of construction equipment....Problem though is Floyd will be hitting a Rock as well that Somebitch is like the terminator he just keeps moving forward....Dont know if Floyd can KO him maybe cause Floyd has the Stamina of an Ethiopian marathon runner he'll be mixing it up by standing in the pocket and Rolling and countering and Making Baldo swing and miss then potshotting and having Baldo chasing him allnite he might Tire Baldy out and put him away late.... it will prolly look like this

[Slacker]

Ahh Another fight to be excited for I've been waiting for him to sign a contract for a while now. Hopefully this will get him some good PR. Eventhough everybody wants to see him fight Margarito :P This will be a good fight for his reputation because instead of going up in weight real quick he's gonna fight one of the top guys in the division and gain some recognition.

Yep...pretty sure it is.

This is the fight that I wanted Floyd to take. Should be great. This would be one of the better fights out there...based not only on what my guy (PBF) has to gain...but also based on what Baldo brings to the table from a fan's point of view.

He's on like a 21 fight winning streak & he has been impressive with his recent wins...excluding the two draws...Baldo is the best competition out there technically. He brings much more cred than anyone else out there.

You never know...this could turn out to be FOTY. Stranger things.

[Wacko3205]

Also...did I mention that the WBC, IBO, & IBA Welterweight straps are all on the line?

Baldomir will probably throw out the best performance of his career. This should be one hell of a gutty fight & if he shows up half as determined as he was against both Gatti & Judah...Floyd is going to have a ruff night.

I love the thoughts of it.

Ah it sounds like a real classic, and i been disapointed with alot of fights that looked good on paper as of late, and i believe alot recent champions have been undeserving, but if anythings goner bring out the best in the welterwight division its this fight , gold on the line two bad bad men, its all there, baldo is a genuine threat for floyd so his game has gotta be on,
and at this stage in his career baldo cant let slip its as good a time as he'll ever get .
what is it november 4th? roll on winter

Lol.....I was thinking the same thing,but i'am suprised this fight is happening.It made more sense for PBF to fight Spinks since he said that he wanted titles in 5 different weight classes b4 he reached 30.Oh well....atleast we get to see a better fight.I expect Baldomir to do good in this fight,or atleast better then Floyd's other recent opponents.

[TheSilverBoy]

gdgd this is the fight we wanted to see, noone cared about spinks

[Purist]

I'm not falling for it. This fight is a mismatch Floyd will win easily.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

stranger things have happened but that PU$$Y floyd only takes fights he knows he can win so he must(and his camp must) see something that makes him think he'll win easily

Easy as a fight as this will be. At least he will shut Brian Kenny the hell up!
