2 1INSIDE the mayweather vs

By Chris Robinson

Earlier today, inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO’s) and WBC interim champion Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) both made weight comfortably ahead of their clash tomorrow night on Showtime pay-per-view.

Following each man’s weigh-in, the two fighters faced off and stared each other down for a lengthy while. You could tell that at any given moment, things were about to get hectic.

And while things appeared to be tense, no real physical altercation took place. Guerrero came in at 147 pounds while Mayweather hit the scales at 146 pounds.

Each man appears to be in tremendous shape and there is a strong feeling amongst press row that we will be seeing a more physical type of match than expected.

PLEASE  CHECK  OUT an exclusive video of the weigh-in below…

As reported by various outlets, the ring return of eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao appears to be set for November 23rd in Macau, China.

And while the Filipino icon’s next opponent isn’t set, we do know two foes he won’t be facing; Juan Manuel Marquez and Tim Bradley.

Pacquiao lost a controversial split-decision to Bradley this past June and suffered a horrific, one-punch knockout at the hands of Marquez in December. The two men opted to turn down lucrative deals in facing Pacquiao again and instead will be squaring off with one another on September 14th inside of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, outspoken trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has received his share of attention in recent weeks due to his involvement in his son Floyd’s recent training camp ahead of his May 4th date with Robert Guerrero.

Putting in time at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, Floyd Sr. has served as somewhat of a mentor for this particular clash, offering up insight and advice on select occasions as his son trains ardently for the 44th professional bout of his career.

Mayweather vs. Guerrero takes place on Saturday night from the MGM Grand and one of the big subplots heading into the event is that fact that Mayweather will be fighting on Showtime pay per view for the first time.

Mayweather has noted that he would like to fight five more times after Guerrero, and if successful this weekend in defending his WBC welterweight crown, the focus will surely turn to his next opponent.
