Mayweather Whips Baldomir and HBO's Larry Merchant in One Night!

Carlos "Pretty Slow" Baldomir was no match for the faster and slicker assassin in Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was evident from the opening bell that Floyd was simply too quick on his feet for the steadier Baldomir. By the end of the first, Baldomir's face was already reddened and showed indications of blood around the nose and left eye.

For every punch Baldomir threw, Floyd capitalized with two or three; frustrating Carlos out of wack and his gameplan. Into the fourth and fifth rounds Baldomir showed signs of extreme frustration. Once again, Mayweather was too fast and didn't allow Baldomir the opportunity to land anything significant. The victory was so lopsided; fans begin exiting the arena around the tenth and eleventh rounds. For the fans that decided to get their monies worth, there was a mixture of cheers & boos at the clinical masterpiece. Floyd Mayweather won virtually every round on every judge's scorecards.

Shortly after Mayweather's paint job on Carlos Baldomir, Floyd picked up where he left off. With emotions still running high, Larry Merchant stood by to conduct an interview with the new Welterweight champion. The interview was classic confrontation and will probably be the most memorable.

Larry - "We thought we heard you say that you hurt your right hand, when did you hurt it?"

Floyd - "Yes. I hurt my right hand," Floyd complained to Larry Merchant following his decision victory. "I think it was about the sixth round. I am not really sure which round."

Larry - "Was this as easy as you anticipated?"

Floyd - "I feel that down the stretch I would've got the knockout. I would've made him surrender, wave the white flag. But, he fought his heart out, I fought my heart out and we put on a pleasing performance tonight."

Larry - "Do you think this was particularly entertaining? There were people booing, there were people leaving after the tenth and eleventh round and since you've brought the subject up I want your response."

Floyd - "Well you know, you always give me a hard time. You don't never give me the credit that I really deserve. You good at commentating so stick to commentating, let me do the fighting! I am the best at what I do. That's why I am with HBO, HBO is my family, HBO is my home. Like I said before, you can learn boxing from my camp and from 'Pretty Boy' Floyd. You just a commentator, stick to commentating."

Larry - "That's exactly what I am doing, I am asking you a question…"

Floyd - "(Cutting in) It's more like this, don't always be a critic and be so negative lets be positive. I got the victory tonight under any circumstances.
So all you can do is respect me for that. Every time a fighter comes out I know you keep your fingers crossed… You hoping and wishing that a fighter can beat me. I am the king of the throne and Floyd Mayweather is here to stay! I can win under ANY circumstances! You always talk; let me do the talking. That's what you always do!"

Larry - "No that's …."

Floyd - "(Cutting in) HBO I love you, this is 'Pretty Boy' Floyd, the best of the best, the crim da la crim, philthy rich records is what it is. I am the best! I beat fighters under ANY circumstances I can pull through it! Larry Merchant is just a commentator, he don't know nothing about boxing!!"

Larry - "Are you looking forward to fighting Oscar De La Hoya? Do you think this fight will get him in the ring with you?"

Floyd - "Absolutely. If Oscar De La Hoya wants it, he know how to call me, he know how to get in contact with me, he know how to get in touch with me. Only thing I am gonna do it keep racking up victories and beating the best. Oscar said he wants to leave out fighting the best. Bring it on and I'll tax that ass too!"

Larry - "Thank you very much, congratulations Floyd. Jim?"

Floyd - "Pretty Boy Floyd, the one and only signing off!"

Floyd Mayweather now improves to (37-0 24KOs) and has captured the WBC welterweight title at 147lbs; making it his 4th WBC title in four weight classes. Carlos "Tata" Baldomir drops to (43-10-6 13KOs); his first loss in the last eight years.

With sweltering ego's many wonder if the mega bout with Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will ever take place. Without question, De La Hoya - Mayweather could generate the highest gross in boxing history. Is it possible that two of the top egos in the world of boxing could work together and pull the biggest boxing event since Lewis - Tyson in 2002?

Perhaps its in the coming!
