    I loved this fight. The fight was much closer than the cards. It was a level below a close fight with Mayweather winning clearly. If that makes sense.

    Nah, it was good but basically there was no major surprise, no major turns of the tide, no knockdowns. Just a very good fight, no FOTY candidate.

    Lopez vs Salido 2 was pretty damn good.

    Sure. I was surprised it was quite close too. And that Mayweather was willing to slug it out that much. But still - Floyd UD, no knockdowns = no major surprise for me.

    Wasn't even fight of the weekend... Huck vs Afolabi was a lot better.

    Lopez Salido II...

    Lopez's chin gave way to relentless Mexican pressure. Foregone conclusion that he was gonna get sparked again after the first round.

    Cotto Mayweather...

    You had one guy whom no one gave a shot bring Mayweather down to a human and beatable level. Mayweather looked lost at times (like when Cotto stabbed him with a super stiff jab in the middle of the ring), but credit to him for biting down.

    Mitchell - Witherspoon might be the most exciting fight this year, because of the trading of legitimately hurting each other.
