Lampley:
"So, Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the welterweight championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying that he's under appreciated and vows that he's only going to fight one more time. What's goin' on?"

Merchant:
"I think he bored himself to tears, Jim."

Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr as the fighters are walking to the ring:

''Why is Oscar De La Hoya a Box Office superstar, . . . while Floyd Mayweather is a boxing star?
Because Oscar won a gold and Floyd won a bronze?
Because Oscar was a handsome man and Floyd was a nice looking man?
Because Oscar has a crowd-pleasing style and Floyd does not?'' - Larry Merchant

Morales is taking tremendous punishment in this round, even a rock will break open if you hit it often enough...LOL
