Floyd Mayweather Jr has official called it quits with his boxing career after retaining his WBC and WBA welterweight titles with victory over Andre Berto on a unanimous points decision to extend his unbeaten record to 49 matches. Continue reading after the cut

The 38-year-old was in imperious form in the contest and secured the win on an overwhelming majority from all three judges to move level with legend Rocky Marciano to post a record of 49-0. Mayweather started the fight with confidence as he used his jab early to knock the 32-year-old out of his rhythm and staved off his attempts to get into close quarters by using his agile footwork.

The defending champion began to frustrate Berto with his speed and then provided a quick shot to the midsection before retreating to avoid the furious swipes of the Florida-born fighter. Mayweather's speed proved to be too much for the 32-year-old to handle as he failed to land a telling blow as the defending champion continued to punish him with his jab.

Floyd said he was getting close to forty years and as such he needed time to be with his family. Asked if he will be coming back to boxing, the undefeated champion said he was well off financially, that money does not make him but that rather he makes money.

Sharp

gud for him..

Fantastic
