Mayweather vs. Guerrero Scorecard Tells Tale of Money's Dominance

A 117-111 unanimous scoring for a 12-round fight paints a picture of a one-sided affair, and that is exactly what we had Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas when Floyd Mayweather improved to 44-0 by handling Robert Guerrero. 

The scoring represents an even more accurate description with the knowledge that there were no knockdowns in this fight. This was just consistent dominance by Mayweather. 

Of course, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this tweet by Bleacher Report tells us everything we need to know: 

If Mayweather didn't have a championship belt around his neck, it would be impossible to tell if this pic was captured pre- or post-fight. Mayweather doesn't even look like he finished a light jog, let alone battled through 12 rounds of championship boxing.

Of course, this is nothing new for Money. He's emerged from the majority of his 44 wins looking like this. That's what happens when you are as hard to hit as Mayweather. 

In his last fight, which came a year ago against Miguel Cotto, Money cruised to an easy win, but he took more big shots than we are accustomed to seeing.

Given that performance, his year-long layoff and his stint in jail there were plenty of reasons to think we would witness a slightly diminished Mayweather in this fight. 

Instead, we got Money at his best. This fight was vintage Mayweather. 

He was moving well right from the beginning. However, he did take a big body shot in Round 1. He did not take many after that. 

Mayweather's defense was in top form, and it got better as this fight moved on. As he has perfected, Mayweather did the majority of his best defense at the waist. He would lean in, slide out seemingly before Guerrero even started to flinch for a punch. 

Of course, Mayweather used the bevy of misses from Guerrero to utilize his elite counter punching. Floyd was accurate and effective with his punches. While he didn't land any knockout blows, he was landing solid punches and wearing out Guerrero.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix passed along the CompuBox numbers of the fight, and they confirm Mayweather's dominance. Money landed 41 percent of his punches. Guerrero landed just 19 percent of his. Guerrero also landed just 28 percent of his power punches. Meanwhile, Money landed a hard-to-believe 60 percent of his. 

Guerrero gave it his all, and this was an entertaining fight. However, he needed Money to be showing severe signs of his age and lengthy layoff to win this one, and what he got was Money looking as good as ever.
