Fight Of The Century?
Sergio Martinez of BoxingInsider.com joined the Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn to recap the huge fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Many fans were disappointed in the outcome of the match because it was so predictable, Sergio said what he saw was a great fight. "As you guys saw the master of distance and timing Floyd Mayweather, not the most likeable guy, but as far as his skills, his ability and overall boxing acumen in the ring, just the way that he is able to slow the fight down to exactly the pace that he wants it and he' able to keep his opponent out using that left jab... You saw the complete package and people were upset, but realistically that was a beautiful display of boxing."
With a record of 48-0, Floyd Mayweather is on the doorsetep of history and chasing Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record. Jeremy asks if fans could see Floyd fight two more times and see him walk away with the longest undefeated streak in the history of the sport. "I would think that since he has touted himself as the greatest of all time, in order to do that he would have to go 50-0. But I don't know because this guys an enigma. Just when you have him plugged in as the worst guy ever, then you find out he's doing all of these things unknown to people, charity stuff and things of that nature... To me his ego, I think it will bring him back for his 50th to be able to say that he conquered that. But the guy seemed pretty sincere when he said I've got one more fight and I'm gone."
