Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero LIVE results and play-by-play

[ads2][ads1]Boxing’s pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (43-0, 26 KO) puts his WBC Welterweight Title on the line this evening against interim WBC Welterweight champ Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO) at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The vacant Ring Welterweight Title is also on the line.

Tonight’s action will broadcast live on Showtime Pay-Per-View starting at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT), with the Mayweather-Guerrero main event expected to begin sometime between 11 p.m. – 12 a.m. ET (8 – 9 p.m. PT). ProMMAnow.com (www.prommanow.com) will provide LIVE results and play-by-play commentary for Mayweather vs. Guerrero.

While you’re waiting for the fights to start, be sure to check out the weigh-ins and staredowns, as well as the video of the pre-fight press conference which took place Wednesday, specifically the rant Guerrero’s father went on calling Mayweather a “woman beater”, saying he must have learned that from his father and promising that his son is going to “beat down the woman beater”.

Will the seemingly invincible Floyd “Money” Mayweather finally meet his match? He’s the heavy favorite with odds sitting at about -625 for Mayweather and +425 for Guerrero. But at 30-years-old, Guerrero is six years younger than the aging champ and his only defeat was a split decision loss way back in 2005. Guerrero is coming off a unanimous decision win over Andre Berto (28-2) this past November.
