Boxing isn’t called “The Sweet Science” for no reason. Fans who are hungry for constant knockouts, knockdowns and action should check out kickboxing. Floyd Mayweather’s style of boxing doesn’t appease many casual boxing fans’ (or diehard, for that matter) appetite for action, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to deny his skill. Mayweather has the ability to step into the ring with the likes of Andre Berto and Manny Pacquiao and dictate exactly where ehe wants the fight to go and escape without so much of a scratch on his face. He is the undefeated “king” of boxing and that will never change as “Money” claimed he would be retiring after his fight on Saturday night.

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya didn’t hold back when criticizing the lack of action between Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto during their fight on Saturday night. “The Golden Boy” hasn’t fought in a boxing ring since 2008 and has since transitioned into his role as a promoter of “Golden Boy Promotions” where he represents a slew of young, promising fighters. Mayweather’s performance in Las Vegas, Nevada against Berto resembled his fight against Manny Pacquiao in May; defensive, evasive and one-sided. There wasn’t a point in the fight where it looked like Berto was in control of the fight. Mayweather’s goal was to walk out of the ring undefeated without a scratch on his face, and he achieved the goal.

Floyd Mayweather executed his strategy to perfection on Saturday night and defeated Andre Berto by way of unanimous decision. Berto tried to bring the fight to the undefeated champion with wild punches and trash talking, but “Money” kept his composure and simply outclassed his opponent. While Mayweather is happy he earned the big win without so much of a scratch on his face, the fight itself left a lot to be desired in terms of action and excitement. Manny Pacquiao was quick to poke fun at how uneventful the fight was by posting a video showing off what he does while he is bored!

Alexander Gustafsson is preparing himself for the biggest fight of his life when he squares off with Daniel Cormier in Houston, Texas on October 3, 2015. While he has already shown the world he is in amazing shape, he took a break from his training to test drive some new cars he is looking to buy. Gustafsson was involved in a minor accident while test driving a Dodge Ram. The pickup truck is so big, it kept the UFC light heavyweight safe and sound so he can still challenge the champion for the championship in the Toyota Center.

It looks like Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino’s trip down to bantamweight has begun! The featherweight champion will be gracing the cage in Invicta when she drops down to 140 for her next fight at “Invicta FC 15” in November. The news broke during the post-fight press conference after “Invicta FC 14” on Saturday night. Details surrounding her next fight are scarce as Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp hasn’t released “Cyborg’s” opponent or the date and location of the card. After Ronda Rousey quickly disposed of Bethe Correia on August 1st at UFC 190, all eyes were on “Cyborg” waiting for her to announce her drop to bantamweight. While Rousey and “Cyborg” traded shots at each other, the fight never materialized and “Rowdy” will now be facing Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia.

Andre Berto tried his hardest to dethrone Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night when they met in Las Vegas, Nevada, but “Money” was simply too much for the challenger. Mayweather’s gameplan, albeit unpopular, was on point and he punched his way to his last decision victory. There was some doubt in the legitimacy of Mayweather’s victory over Manny Pacquiao in May after the statistics were released, so Mayweather wanted to leave ZERO doubt in the eyes of the spectators and judges. “Money’s” performance was so fast and he performed counters so impressive, fans didn’t even notice they happened until Showtime showed the slow motion replay. Check out the numbers behind the fights below!
