Floyd Mayweather’s boxing legend demanded from Canelo Alvarez at 152 pounds when he agreed to a contract with Youthful Buck in 2013.
Mayweather, Leonard Ellerbe, revealed the surprising fact of the battle of the former pound for the undisputed ruler of Canelo. Named “The One”, when presented in Las Vegas, the aging 36-year-old Mayweather accepted the younger Whipip-Snapper in Canelo at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Despite his sensitivity, Canelo accumulated an impressive 42-0-1 record. At that time he was a united super-high champion in the field of only 23 years. Despite the growing references, Mayweather had no problems signing negotiations on the fourth duel with six struggles with Showtime sports.
Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo
In 44-0, the Las Vegas competition was seen as an alternative to fans, seeing how Mayweather heads to Manny Pacquiao. At that time, four four fighters in weight classes from 147 to 154 pounds are Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao and Canelo. Adding “Change of Guardian” and “Master vs. The student “made the collision even more pleasant.
To make everything more even, Mayweather was initially aimed at a tight 154-pound Canelo. Many thought they would ask for a maximum weight limit of 150 pounds, but not as indicated by Ellerbe. The General Director of the Mayweather Promotions said that Floyd was pleased to give Canelo an additional pair of pounds to prove that the point of the upcoming warrior was about who was a better warrior.
Ellerbe stated that Floyd’s decision meant that the difference at night of the fight was almost twenty pounds.
“Before [the Canelo fight]He told the media that he would be ready to fight at the age of 50. We arrived at 152. [Canelo then] He prevailed him [by] 19 pounds on the night [the fight]Ellerbe said.
Mayweather weighed just over 150 pounds, which was definitely pressure, but it was the second highest sign of his career. What happened only a day later during the fight was nothing unusual, considering what Canelo achieved.
Even with one of the most shocking results cards of all -time judges, courtesy of CJ Ross, Floyd did enough to put the Mexican future superstar in his place.
I lost every round
WBN, shooting live at night, could not give Canelo one round, this was the dominance at the “Money” man’s exhibition. At his Majestic Best Mayweather was always inviolable. Given the fact of Ellerbe, the victory was all the more impressive.
Due to the weight of Canelo, the fight would be impossible nowadays. That is why 2013 was an ideal time for anyone interested. Canelo admitted that he learned a lot from his experience with Mayweather and was grateful that he had the opportunity to face a great one.
Now a four -member ruler with belts exceeded at 154, 160, 168 and 175, Canelo is today’s version of what Mayweather has been for many years.

Abdullah Mason Modern Headliner
The fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila will be moved to the place to Headliner on Saturday evening to save the show to the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason has an invigorating combat style that makes him a perfect substitute for Keyshawn. When entering the fight, some fans perceived him as a worthy main header over Keyshawn.
Incorrect lithe pretender No. 2 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) comes from Ohio. This is not perfect to be the main event. However, the brothers Keyshawn, Kelvin and Keon Davis, are still on the card, and this will satisfy the crowd of Norfolk. Given that the Saturday event is shown at ESPN and ESPN+.
Keyshawn accepted a lot of criticism from fans for the missing weight. Many of them believe that he intentionally came to overweight to gain an advantage over the demanding punchating of Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).
What rejected the fans was Davis said that he was going to be his last fight at the age of 135 and that he moved to 140. In addition, he did not have the physical appearance of a warrior who pressed on the weight.
Davis: Miss unprofessional weight
“You should make a weight. Why did you sign a contract for 135 and placed the title on the line if you knew that you were not going to start?” Tim Bradley said WarriorResponding to Keyhawn Davis, who does not earn weight today.
Davis has never left his weight before during his tiny four -year professional career. In his last three fights he seemed to be bigger and looked like a weight class.
“It’s very unprofessional. You should do this weight. If you crawl on all fours to the scale, I say:” Damn, he tried to endure weight, but it was too much for him. ” But he didn’t crash on the scales at all, “Bradley said about Keyshawn.
Keyshawna size
The difference in size between Keyshawn and De Los Santos was noticeable during the last press conference on Thursday. After looking at Keyshawn, it could be said that it did not seem that he even began to take off the weight. However, de los Santos looked out of skin and skeletal.
“He is a immense 135-pound and was all his [4-year] career. However, he was busy, “Bradley said about Keyshawn. “It’s not like he was sitting for two years. He went from the camp to the camp. He should be able to bring this weight or get closer to this weight.”
Considering that Davis was already planning to leave a slight division, there was no reason for him to go through the bell, to go down to 135. However, if it was intended, he did not understand that the fight could be canceled.
“Four pounds are embarrassment, an senior. One pound, I understand. I understand some ounces, maybe even two pounds. But three pounds, four pounds and no, no. It’s not professional, senior. It’s bad and it’s unfortunate. Shame, shame, keyhawn. You dropped the ball here,” said Bradley.
Ego led Davis to failure
Lack of 4.3 pounds makes Keyshawn look bad. Is it on his part that prompted him to understand the response of fans? It can be. He seems to be a narcissus, and his victory over a cushioned opposition, which fed the highest rank, seemed to come to his head.
