Fight review
In the opening round, both fighters mostly kept their distance. Mayweather was the busier of the two, landing jabs and countering. Although each round was supposed to last two minutes, the timekeeper didn’t seem to have gotten the memo. It wasn’t until Gotti pointed this out to referee Hector Afu that the round was finally is over.
If you thought what happened in the first round, it was even more ridiculous in the second round. About a minute before the end Afu issued a warning to Mayweather about punches behind the head. “Money” was not satisfied with this, which led to Afu being replaced by referee Alfredo Uruzquieta for the rest of the fight.
Throughout the fight, Mayweather essentially prevailed without trying very hard or getting hit much. Goddess Although he was outboxed, he was never in danger of being stopped, so the fight went the full distance. There were no knockouts and there was no official result.
