Saturday, May 5, 2012
Las Vegas, NV– Floyd Mayweather, (151 lbs), Las Vegas, NV UD 12 Miguel Cotto, (154), Caguas, Puerto Rico. (WBA 154 lb title) Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) in his toughest test to date does what he has always done, win and win in impressive manner. A relentless Cotto (37-3, 30 KOs) just couldn’t connect cleanly with a defensive wizard like Mayweather. Cards were 117-111 twice and 118-110.
ALVAREZ BEATS MOSLEY INTO DEMENTIA?
Saul Alvarez, (154), Jalisco, Mexico UD 12 Shane Mosley, (154), Pomona, CA. (WBC 154 lb title) Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 KOs) cut over his left eye early by an accidental Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs) head butt, bled throughout the fight. The crimson didn’t detour the Mexican hero on Cinco De Mayo as battered the veteran Mosley as if he were a human punching bag. Nazim Richardson, Shane’s respected trainer, should have stopped the fight after round ten.
The damage done to Mosley was apparent after the fight and will probably affect him later in life, as Alvarez, a naturally bigger man, just kept throwing and landing. The only knock on Saul was that he didn’t close the show. While Mosley wasn’t stopped, he looked older than Bob Arum! Cards were 119-109 twice and 118-110.
Jessie Vargas, Las Vegas, NV UD 10 Steve Forbes, Las Vegas, NV. Vargas (19-0, 9 KOs) wins an easy decision over trialhorse Forbes (35-11, 11 KOs) with scores of 100-90, 98-92, and 97-93.
