By Paul Walsh; At the end of the final bell I couldn’t help but smile, “he’s done it again” I thought to myself. Floyd Mayweather Jr. made Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who is arguably the second best pound for pound fighter in the world look extremely average. Make no mistake Canelo is an exceptional fighter but Mayweather is a league of his own
At times it was nothing more than a glorified sparring season, a very well paid sparring session for the man they call money. The fight went exactly how I anticipated, Mayweather was too fast, too slick, too cute and too quick which Canelo simply did not have any answer to. Right from the first bell Mayweather showed how sharp he is and that the age factor was not going to play a part. In fact you would think that Floyd was the younger man based on the way he fought.
