Mayweather vs. Marquez Results: Floyd Mayweather Jr, who is heavier than Juan Manuel Marquez, prevailed. Yes, Mayweather won but it was not a big win because it was obvious when the two fighters step on the ring that there is a big difference in weight and in size. I admire Marquez for being able to stay on his feet for the whole 12 rounds of the fight. This means that Mayweather is not that good because if he's that good Marquez would have gone down to sleep in four or five rounds, but Mayweather did not make it. Here is a news article from GMANewsTV:
(Update) LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to the ring with another emphatic victory.
Maybe next time he'll pick on somebody his own size.
Mayweather overpowered the smaller, lighter Juan Manuel Marquez for an unanimous decision Saturday night, maintaining his perfect record in his return from retirement and a 21-month ring absence.
Mayweather knocked down Marquez in the second round and then peppered him with countless damaging shots to remain unbeaten (40-0, 25 KOs).
"I can get better," Mayweather said. "He's tough as nails."
Marquez (50-5-1) was a 130-pounder just 18 months ago, but the Mexican champion moved up two weight classes to be Mayweather's hand-picked comeback opponent. At Friday's weigh-in, he was four pounds lighter than Mayweather, who paid a $600,000 penalty for missing the bout weight of 144 pounds.
The size disparity was painfully obvious from the opening bell, but Marquez stayed on his feet for 12 one-sided rounds.
