By the ninth, Judah's right eye was swelling and Mayweather was in complete control, outlanding Judah 28-2 in power shots in the round. Late in the tenth round, Judah hit Mayweather with a blatant low blow followed by a punch to the back of the head.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never lost a professional boxing match. Will he still be able to make that claim after Saturday’s encounter with Juan Manuel Marquez?
If recent success is the most accurate bellwether for handicappers, then Marquez has an immediate advantage in this fight. He’s recovered nicely from his controversial March 2008 split decision loss to Manny Pacquiao, moving up to the lightweight division and dropping both Joel Casamayor and Juan Diaz by TKO. Mayweather hasn’t had a match since December 2007, retiring for the second time after his 10th-round TKO win over Ricky Hatton.
Actually, Mayweather did have a match – against The Big Show at last year’s WrestleMania. He survived that exhibition without incident, but Mayweather did suffer an injured rib during training for the Marquez fight, which was originally scheduled for July. He should still be in outstanding physical and mental shape when he steps into the ring at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. However, Marquez has to be given the nod when it comes to conditioning. He trains at high altitude near Mexico City and never seems to run out of gas.
The over is priced at –160 for Saturday’s fight on the total of 11.5 rounds, meaning it will cash in should the fight go beyond the 1:30 mark of the 12th round. These are two outstanding technical fighters; Mayweather is a brilliant defender (as was his father and former trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr.), while Marquez knows every punch in the book and will be fighting with an added burst of national pride during the Mexican Independence Day weekend.
It is possible that Mayweather will put Marquez on the canvas and keep him there. While his signature victories over Oscar De La Hoya, Zab Judah and Jose Luis Castillo (twice) all went the distance, Mayweather has won 25 of his 39 career fights by knockout. He also dominated Arturo Gatti in 2005 to the point where Gatti’s corner threw in the towel after the sixth round. Fighting Marquez at a catchweight of 144 pounds should increase Mayweather’s chances of securing a knockout victory and a +120 payday for the under.

But as we’ve learned of late in the boxing ring, size isn’t everything. Pacquiao is the current Ring Magazine Light Welterweight champion after moving up in class from super featherweight and destroying both De La Hoya and Hatton. Whoever wins Saturday’s fight, Pacquiao is the man at the top of the boxing mountain right now and should be his next opponent. We’re looking forward to it.
