The alleged final
fight of Floyd Mayweather is in the books, and it went pretty much
exactly as everyone expected. Andre Berto was never a threat, Floyd
Mayweather was never in danger, and the fight was a lopsided, easy
unanimous decision kind of affair. This win extends Mayweather to 49-0,
and now, the greatest of our time claims he is retired. Time will tell.

ROUND BY ROUND RECAP
Round 1: A very
jab-heavy opening round for Mayweather, who didn't move much, but stood
in front of Berto and jabbed away. Nice job mixing in some lead left
hooks as well. Mayweather's defense was good as always. Berto threw
very, very little. This can't be his plan for the fight, or he's doomed.
10-9 Mayweather
Round 2: More aggressive
round from Berto, which is good. He threw more punches, chasing
Mayweather down at times, but he just couldn't connect, as Mayweather
used head movement to avoid him. Still, he at least forced Mayweather to
try this round, but it's still not close to enough. 10-9 Mayweather
Round 3: Three rounds in
and this is a pretty typical Mayweather fight. Defense keeps working
for him, with Berto landing nearly nothing in this round. Mayweather
stumbled at one point and touched the mat, but it was correctly rules a
slip. 10-9 Mayweather, 30-27 after 3.
Round 4: Lots of
clinching from both men in this round as things are starting to get just
a bit ugly at times. With that clinch game, there were not a ton of
significant shots, but Mayweather did land a nice right hand that seemed
to wobbly Berto for a moment. Often, Berto comes back hard after being
hurt, but that did not happen here. 10-9 Mayweather
Round 5: Similar round
to the list here, with clinching being a heavy weapon. Mayweather again
used his defense well, but Berto did land a nice clean combo early in
the round. Berto also landed a low blow, and while he was not penalized
yet, he was given a warning. 10-9 Mayweather
Round 6: More aggressive
start to the 6tg for Mayweather, coming hard against Berto,
particularly in his effective body blows. Early in the round. Berto
landed his best punch of the night as well, connecting with a solid hook
on Mayweather. Still not enough though. 10-9 Mayweather, 60-54 after 6
Round 7: Good end to
the round that brings the crowd to their feet. After a pretty typical 2
and a half minutes, the two men started mixing it up more in the closing
seconds, with Berto seeming to connect with a good punch, only to see
Mayweather come back angrily. Exciting for a few moments there. 10-9
Mayweather
Round 8: Berto builds
off the momentum of round 7 and comes out really walking Mayweather
down. But Mayweather expertly circles away until Berto slows down, then
again implements his game. Berto is getting more loose, which is exactly
what he needs, and he does manage to land some shots against the ropes.
Mayweather largely took this round off offensively, so 10-9 Berto.
Round 9: Berto is
trying hard, you have to give him that. He pushes the pace, coming for
Mayweather throughout, but continues to struggle to land. Late in the
round, they begin jaw-jacking, and the heated words leads to something
resembling a slugfest for a moment, but Mayweather lands more clean
shots in that exchange. Tempers beginning to flare up here. 10-9
Mayweather, 89-82 after 9
Round 10: The trash
talk continues, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to pause the action and
calm them down. There's a sequence here that pretty much sums up the
fight, as Berto charges in with a half dozen rapid fire jabs. He lands
none of them, but Mayweather sneaks in one perfect jab in the middle.
Mayweather treating Berto with disdain at this point. Mayweather 10-9
Round 11: Not much to
say at this point. Mayweather evades, he clinches and hits the body, and
he lands most of his limited punches cleanly. The clowning begins in
earnest in this round, including Mayweather busting out a semi-Ali
shuffle. Berto just has nothing for him. 10-9 Mayweather
Round 12: Mayweather
decides to push the pace a bit late in the round, landing some heavy
uppercuts on Berto in the corner. Those shots stagger Berto, possibly
hurting him more than we have seen at any previous point in the fight.
That done, Mayweather literally dances through the final seconds. 10-9
Mayweather, giving him the 119-109 win on my card.
