Mayweather vs. Baldomir
Well, by now you know that Baldomir, despite being the predicted winner of the bout, lost in a big way. Mayweather won the fight, but really did not "fight". What he did manage to do was keep his distance from Baldomir long enough to win on points. Blah. Dull. That what this fight was. I will never pay to see him fight again. Yeah, he is the "pound for pound" best fight in his class, but so what? People want to see him fight, not run. So, the fight was pretty uneventful, but the real news was a sleeper by the name of Paul Williams. This guy is a tall, lean, punching machine. He performance was (almost!) worth the $50 I spent to see the main event. He is a welterweight, and definitely on the way up. I think we'll be seeing a lot of this young contender in the future.
Here are "The Punisher's" stats: WBA No. 11, IBF No. 15 at 147 pounds 07/27/81 Augusta, GA 27-0-0 19 KOs
