NO NEED FOR PSYCHIC WITH FLOYD
San Francisco, CA?in hindsight, most of the so-called experts and pundits had Floyd Mayweather over Robert Guerrero prior to their 12 round-sometimes entertaining dance for the WBC welterweight (147 lb.) title Saturday in Las Vegas, NV. Hell, even Dan Rafael of ESPN.com had ?Money? marked as the winner going in. That?s because of one thing and one thing only: Robert Guerrero is a very good fighter. Floyd Mayweather on the other hand is a great fighter.
MAYWEATHER BOXING DEFIES LOGIC
I hate to murder the King?s English here but, ?Greatness prevails over goodness every time the competition is waged on a somewhat level playing field.? That being said, facing Floyd Mayweather in the squared circle of boxing is unfair to those who try and or think they can ruffle his feathers, for they all talk a good game sans being able to put up a good fight. After the fight, Ruben Guerrero, Robert?s father, continued his pre-fight tirade against Floyd who had just schooled his kid.
SCORES WERE NOT DEBATED MUCH
Those identical scores of 117?111, 9 to 3 in rounds, are indicative of Mayweather?s dominance. My scorecard read 119?109, 11 to 1 in rounds. Although ?The Ghost? wasn?t intimidated, he was thoroughly befuddled. Instead of turning this into a brawl, stepping on Mayweather?s foot and pushing him over, Robert tried to out box the master. This effort reminded me of Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler attempting to outbox ?Sugar Ray? Leonard.
GUERRERO PLAYED TO FLOYD?S STRENGTHS
