The stars came out in full force to the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, to see "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather (36-0, 24 KOs) show why he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the business. Among them were Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Pete Rose, Charles Barkley and many others.
Mayweather as promised, dominated WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir with his advantage of speed and quick reflexes. The fight was more of a sparring session, as Baldomir (43-10-6, 13 KOs) was only able to land 12% of his punches, and was barely able to land a single punch in any of the twelve rounds.
The fight was a bigger shutout than any of the experts had predicted. The scores were 120-108, 120-108 and 118-110.
The sky is the limit for Floyd Mayweather, it all depends on which path he plans to take. Mayweather has an HBO pay-per-view date penciled in for February, and Shane Mosley may be the opponent of choice, or is he?
The dream for Mayweather would be a May fight with Oscar De La Hoya. De La Hoya has long said that the final bout of his career would be held in May, and Floyd Mayweather would be the opponent of choice. But, De La Hoya has said that Mayweather must stay undefeated in order for the fight to take place.
De La Hoya has also mentioned a rematch with Felix Trinidad as his final bout. Trinidad defeated him by decision in 1999 in a fight where most experts felt De La Hoya clearly won the fight. The Mayweather camp thinks that De La Hoya is playing mind games with them and has no intention of facing Trinidad. [details]
