On Friday night, May 13, inside of the Sam’s Town Casino & Gambling Hall, cruiserweight contender Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti secured the biggest victory over his career in out-pointing New Jersey’s Keith “Machine Gun” Tapia over 10 rounds to claim the NABF title.
Sitting ringside during the bout was Tabiti’s promoter Floyd Mayweather. And while it’s not surprising to see the retired pound-for-pound king around the scene and supporting his fighters, it was the two men who were flanking Mayweather who caught our attention.
To the left and right of Mayweather were undefeated former two-division champion Mikey Garcia and his older brother, former world champion and current day top-flight trainer Robert.
As everyone knows, Mikey (34-0, 28 KO’s) has been inactive since defeating Juan Carlos Burgos in January of 2014. He was locked into a legal battle with his former promoter Top Rank, but it now appears obvious that he could be forming a union with Mayweather.
