Mayweather vs. Berto Fight: Scorecard Results and Replay Viewing Info

Alec NathanSep 13, 2015

Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he's leaving the ring for good following his unanimous-decision victory over Andre Berto on Saturday night, and if that's the case, boxing enthusiasts can catch one final glimpse of the undefeated champ when the fight re-airs exclusively on Showtime.

According to BoxingScene.com's Jake Donovan, Showtime will replay the fight Saturday, Sept. 19 at a time that has yet to be determined. 

Should fans tune in to catch Mayweather's 49th straight win, they'll be treated to 12 rounds of Money at his tactical best after he defeated Berto, 120-108, 118-110, 117-111, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The Guardian's Bryan Armen Graham passed along visual proof of the judges' final scorecards: 

From start to finish, Mayweather was clearly the superior fighter. His punches landed at far higher clips, and he even flashed more power than the muscular Berto (30-4). 

But it all came back to speed and control. Jabs were once again Mayweather's best friend, and they allowed his final conversion rate to clock in 40 percent higher than his opponent's, per ESPN Stats & Info: 

"He was difficult to hold onto and was slippery, very slippery," Berto said following the fight, according to Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole. "Like I said, experience played a big part. I tried to use my speed, but he was using little things, smart things, to get me off my rhythm. I was coming, but he was crafty. He had a lot of speed and is very crafty."

However, the usage of that tried-and-true formula didn't necessarily endear Mayweather to fans who wanted to see him go out in style, as Bleacher Report's Jonathan Snowden wrote: 

"

The Berto fight was everything many of us have come to dread about the Mayweather show. In the ring with an overmatched opponent, you spent more time dazzling with your footwork than you did pursuing a knockout. On a card filled with action from top to bottom, you stood out.

That's not a compliment.

"

Nevertheless, a win is a win, and history can't be ignored. 

Mayweather's perfect 49-0 record tied him with the illustrious Rocky Marciano, and as he told reporters following the bout, per ESPN.com's Dan Rafael, his unique style separated him from his peers: 

The win was also Mayweather's 26th with a championship on the line, per ESPN Stats & Info's Malik Smith, as he retained his WBA and WBC welterweight title belts by dispatching the overwhelmed Berto. 

Admittedly, it wasn't the most compelling fight from a head-to-head standpoint given the disparity in talent between the two punchers.

That said, fans of master craftsmen can kick back and indulge in one final Mayweather victory as he heads for retirement after solidifying his place as a once-in-a-generation talent with a unique approach that will be hard for future aspirants to replicate.
