By Jake Donovan - Floyd Mayweather Jr. was forced to work at his hardest in more than a decade, but still came up aces in a unanimous decision win over Miguel Cotto in an entertaining pay-per-view headliner Saturday evening at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
Scores were 117-111 (twice) and 118-110 for Mayweather, who weighed 151 lb for the super welterweight title fight. Cotto came in at the divisional limit of 154 lb.
Both combatants were cordial throughout the pre-fight promotion, though tension quickly arose during Friday’s weigh-in.
