Kiyo: Mayweather fought as
if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year's absence Saturday night
to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight
title fight.
The
game plan was defence, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing
from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance
not totally expected at the age of 36.
"I
needed my father tonight," Mayweather said. "My defence was on point
and he told me to stick with my defence and that the less you get hit the
longer you last."
All
three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109.
"We
did it again," Mayweather said after earning at least $32 million for his
night's work. "I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He's a true
warrior."
Filo: Congrats to Mayweather;
he puts an end to Guerrero’s eight years of not losing a fight.
