Floyd Mayweather UD4 Reggie Sanders

Give Sanders his due: the man, on route to become a professional loser, came to fight. Interesting then that Mayweather is much more static than we saw him in his first fight, he's leading with the right, applying pressure, clearly the genesis of the Pretty Boy style distinct from Money is here. Mayweather will delighted traditionalists here with his surrounding footwork, keeping his lead foot outside Reggie's left foot and besides being technically sure he is very very cool in terms of temperament, although I thought he got away with turning his back here will dipping out of punches at one point.

Reggie begins the second round very aggressively, Mayweather ditches most of it, keeping low, but gets snapped with a very nice southpaw jab - Mayweather steps back into the Philly Shell, giving Reggie a different look, before stealing the first half of the round with hooks. There's that left hand to the body again - joyful seeing Mayweather throw to the body with impunity, I like it a lot. Left hands his way home to a clearer round victory. Nice swap of shots there - Mayweather gets cuffed with a flat right hand after landing a left to the body, here's a lesson for the fighter, as the crowd begins to boo him as he tries to think his way past Reggie's third round success. Somewhere in this rammy, he was cut over his right eye and I think Mayweather decided to have a little think about that too. I think Mayweather landed the better punches in this round but I'd presume that this is the round taht went to Reggie and that's justifiable - he stepped off though, tried to force Mayweather to lead through the cut, which was a mistake. A brush with immortality! Although - not really.

Mayweather told off for pushing/spinning Reggie, you can see the deep urge within him to control his opponent's positioning already. Referee a bit fussy here, but let the superstar take it. A very irritated crowd watches Mayweather on his bike and you do wonder if an aggressive southpaw was the wisest opponent for the young man's second fight...on the other hand, he's here to learn. I wish this had gone six. Entertaining, interesting, and shockingly well-balanced. Judge Sandy Pino found the third for Reggie, the other judges had it 4-0, both cards are fair.

Mayweather:1,2,3,4.
Sanders:
