Floyd Mayweather cruised to a unanimous decision to retain his welterweight and junior middleweight world titles in a rematch with Marcos Maidana before 16,144 on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The judges had it 116-111, 116-111 and 115-112, all for Mayweather. ESPN.com had it 119-108 for Mayweather, who took much less punishment than he did the last time out, although, in a bizarre sequence, he claimed that Maidana bit his hand during the eighth round.
The rematch was a far cry from the action-packed first fight on May 3, when they met to unify welterweight titles and Maidana nearly pulled the upset.
On Saturday, Maidana had some success bull rushing Mayweather in the fifth round and pinning him on the ropes and firing his shots. He rattled Floyd with a couple of right hands before Mayweather was able to escape.
