Renowned fighter Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s undefeated streak continues on in 2014 after winning a big bout Saturday (May 3) night in Las Vegas.
While it took a full 12 rounds, Money Mayweather won his 46th straight match-up.
Marcos Maidana did everything but beat Floyd Mayweather Jr., taking him 12 tough rounds before losing a majority decision. Mayweather remained unbeaten Saturday night, but not by much. Maidana swarmed all over him from the opening bell and gave him perhaps his toughest fight in a 16-year professional career. In the end, though, Mayweather got the win — just as he did in his previous 45 fights. He retained his welterweight titles, winning the fight on two scorecards while a third judge had it even.
