The majority win was only that due to one less than accurate judge,who somehow gave Alvarez six rounds.
I gave him just one and scored one even for a 118-110 win for Mayweather,who is running out of anyone capable of defeating him at 154 pounds or lower.
The big question is this-would Mayweather consider a jump to 160 pounds for a shot at another title against the world champion Sergio Martinez or the best fighter in the division Gennady Golovkin?
I would wager Mayweather would consider the former and want no part of the latter.
The undercard featured an upset as Danny Garcia won a unanimous decision over favored Lucas Matthysse.
Garcia used a massive swelling on Matthysse's eye to control the middle rounds and was credited with a knockdown in the 11th,which I thought was dubious.
I would not be against a rematch down the road,if Matthysse can put a few wins together.
I scored the bout 114-112 for Garcia.
Garcia may get the next shot at Mayweather and why not as he is deserving as anyone else is,although I don't think he will be competitive in the bout.
All and all,a night not filled with explosive action,but an entertaining evening of boxing anyway.
