Floyd Mayweather Jr. extended his undefeated record on Saturday, beating Manny Pacquiao in one of the most widely anticipated boxing matches of the decade. Mayweather landed 148 of his 435 punches, winning the welterweight title in a unanimous judges' decision. Pacquiao landed 81 of his 429 total punches.
"He's a hell of a fighter," Mayweather, who now stands at 48-0, said after the match. "I outboxed him." Pacquiao didn't seem to think so. "I thought I won the fight," Pacquiao said, adding that Mayweather was "moving around" and "he didn't do nothing." "When the history books is written, it's worth the wait," Mayweather said of the match.
Fans of the boxer won't have to wait too long to see him in the ring again, he said. "My last fight is in September, then it's time for me to hang it up," Mayweather, 39, said. If Mayweather were to end after one more match, he'd tie Rocky Marciano's 49-0 perfect career record.
