Juan Marquez has entered the ring to the cheers of his fans.

Floyd Mayweather is entering the ring as well, led by the WWE's wrestler Triple H on his right.

Wearing a white jacket cut off at the shoulders with a blue hood, Mayweather is being booed by the partisan Latino crowd as he approaches the ring -- with out any music.

The crowd begins chanting Marquez's name, even before Michael Buffer's "Lets Get Ready To Rumble!!!!"

Marquez's loudly cheered, as expected; Mayweather booed, yet again.



Round 1: Referee Tony Weeks gives instructions. The fighters begin at ring center. Mayweather tries to strike first, leaping in and missing with a left hook. Then Mayweather lands a jab, after which Marquez digs to the body. Mayweather is coming forward and lands a left hook. Marquez looks bewildered and is apparently already troubled by Mayweather's speed. During a clinch, Marquez takes advantage by clubbing Mayweather twice to the head. Later, however, Marquez misses with a right hand. Mayweather steps in and lands a left hook, and Marquez misses wildly. Mayweather blocks three punches by Marquez. Another Mayweather left hook lands as he steps in before the bell. Mayweather's round, 10-9.

Round 2: Mayweather still has Marquez fighting from a distance, and is establishing his jab and a lead left and a hook. Marquez livens up the crowd with an overhand right that lands. A perfectly placed left hand catches a walking in Marquez flat-footed and with his legs squared. The punch deposits the smaller man on his butt at 1:35 of the round. As he rolls like a turtle over his back toward his head, his feet fly toward the cieling. Marquez rises on wobbly legs. Another hook lands for Mayweather, as Marquez begins to reach with his punches. Another left hook, and then, a right lands for Mayweather. Clearly, Marquez is at a disadvantage and has not begun to press, as he said that he would. Mayweather's round, 10-8


Round 3: Mayweather continues to come forward behind the jab and the hook, and Marquez continues to retreat. Marquez lands an overhand right, but doesn't follow it up. Marquez eats a jab and can't counter because Mayweather effectively covers up. The jabs -- three straight -- are problematic for Marquez, who fails to take advantage of a brief moment when Mayweather goes to the ropes. Marquez lands a right over the top, but Mayweather jabs and maintains his distance. Mayweather's round, 10-9


Round 4: Harold Lederman has Mayweather ahead 30-26, or three rounds to none as does FanHouse. Roger Mayweather tells Floyd Jr. "You're whupping his [butt]." The fourth round is the same -- Marquez retreating, Mayweather, pursing. Marquez continues to miss as Mayweather eludes him when he comes forward. Marquez lands a one-two on a ducking Mayweather, but the undefeated fighter goes back to jabbing again and re-establishes his tempo. Mayweather takes two straight right hands that bring cheers from the crowd, but in reality, it is Marquez's right eye that has begun to drip blood. Like a shark, Mayweather steps forward and begins to take aim at the eye with the jab. Mayweather's round, 10-9



Round 5: Mayweather appears to be taunting Marquez by leaning forward and dropping his hands. Marquez fails to make him pay. Pumping the jab, patiently, Mayweather's strategy simply continues. While Marquez leaps in and miss, Mayweather leaps in and lands a left hook, then a right hand. It's target practice for the pot-shotting Mayweather. Another left hook lands as Mayweather spins away from the ropes, and his jab and a hook end the round. Mayweather's round, 10-9.



Round 6: Trainer Nacho Beristain tells Marquez that he has to throw more punches because Mayweather is winning. Mayweather appears to be stepping up the pressure behind the jab. The crowd begins to chant, "Mexico," but Marquez does not appear capable of rewarding them with any significant response. Instead, Marques is jarred by a right and a left hook. Marquez looks puzzled. Briefly on the ropes, Mayweather takes three harmless punches on the arms, but soon is backing up Marquez. In a neutral corner, Mayweather punishes Marquez with about seven unanswered punches. After the bell, he returns to the corner. Trainer and uncle, Roger Mayweather, tells him, "That's what I told you to do." Mayweather's round, 10-9.


Round 7: Tony Weeks asks Marquez between rounds if he wants to continue. Marquez answers to the affirmative. Lederman has the fight scored, 60-53, or a shutout for Mayweather, as does FanHouse. Mayweather takes a right to the jaw, but clinches and winks at the HBO ringside commentators that he's okay. Two jabs, a right hand as well as a left hand get to Marquez. Marquez lands while Mayweather is on the ropes, but he escapes further harm and continues to dictate the pace with impunity. Marquez goes to his corner and is implored by Beristain to throw more punches. Mayweather's round, 10-9



Round 8: The crowd starts to chant Marquez's name, but the Mexican former champion continues to retreat. The blood from his right eye appears to be bothersome as Mayweather continues his assault with the jab. Three punches are all blocked by Mayweather, who corners Marquez with three jabs. Marquez's head continues to be knocked backward like a bobble-headed figure by the piston-like punch. Mayweather avoids reaching rights and lefts by Marquez. With about 10 seconds left, Mayweather covers up on the ropes and beckons for Marquez to come forward. Marquez does, but Mayweather blocks all of his punches. Mayweather's round, 10-9.


Round 9: Mayweather appears to be sitting down on his punches as his jab grows more fierce. Mayweather lands a hard left hook and blocks two by Marquez, who simply can' t land except to the body when Mayweather is close. Mayweather engages Marquez, lands to two uppercuts and a right hand, and then, fires another combination that shakes Marquez. Marquez winces after taking a hard right and a left hook at the bell. On his stool, Marquez looks completely lost. Mayweather's round, 10-9


Round 10: Lederman has the fight a complete shutout -- nine rounds to none for Mayweather, who lands a hard left jab and right with about two minutes left in the round. Mayweather begins to press and land even more frequently, even as five straight punches miss by Marquez. Marquez eats two more hard jabs along the ropes. Mayweather lowers his guard and Marquez still can not land. At the bell, Mayweather drills Marquez with a lead right that knocks his head back. Mayweather's round, 10-9


Round 11: Mayweather's shoulder defenses allow him to block four straight punches by Marquez, after which he answers with a hard right to Marquez's jaw. Landing punches is futile for Marquez, who continues to be pummeled by counter-punches. Mayweather hammers home another long, lead right hand to Marquez along the ropes. There appears to be blood dripping from Marquez's nose. A three-punch combination shakes Marquez, as does a leaping left hand before the bell. Mayweather's round, 10-9


Round 12: It appears that the futility of their efforts has sunken in for Marquez's corner, as the fighter is told by Beristain to "Finish with dignity." The proud, Mexican champion goes forward, but is jarred by a left hook. Marquez then goes back to retreating. A left hook, over hand right combination knocks Marquez off balance. Mayweather loads up on two lead rights behind a pawing jab. A hard right pops Marquez's head backward, yet again. Marquez's right eye is bleeding profusely as he tries in vain to land against Mayweather's defense. On the ropes with 20 seconds left, Mayweather hammers home two more shots. Mayweather pumps his right hand in the air as the bell rings. He knows the result, as does everyone in the crowd. Mayweather's round, 10-9

Michael Buffer announces the unanimous decision: Judge Burt Clements had it 120-107, Dave Moretti, 119-108, and, William Lerch, 118-109, all for Mayweather. Mayweather lost only three rounds total between the three judges.
