Mayweather enters the ring accompanied by Lil Wayne and thug-wanna-be Justin Bieber.

 

Mayweather's father bears a striking resemblance to Andre Dawson.

 

Canelo's trunks have more sponsor's names plastered on them than a NASCAR auto.

 

UK announcers say while all 5 rounds have been close but they have Mayweather winning all five rounds.

 

round six: Alvarez lands more punches than in any previous round but Mayweather came on at the close of the round. UK announcers say close round.

 

Mayweather tees off on Alvarez thru most of the 7th round. Unless Alvarez knocks him out, Mayweather has this in the bag.

 

I miss Canelo's body from yesterday.

 

at the end of the 8th round, the UK announcer says "I'll be kind to Alvarez and give him that one. The Mexican fans will believe he won that one."

cut to Denzel Washington in the crowd as the 9th round starts

 

I don't actually think it's been that close in any of them.

 

9th round: UK announcers call it even.
