Let’s face it, no one really expected Don Moore to do all that well against Floyd Mayweather when the two men entered the ring for a showdown on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. Although it was a wits match, Mayweather dominated for all eight two-minute rounds. Though much older and slower than he was when he dominated the sport of boxing, the bearded Mayweather appeared calm and composed for the first time. Mayweather then assisted his elder in the second. At the end of the chapter, Mayweather starts riding around, as Moore clearly has nothing to offer.
By the third round, Mayweather was reminding the world just how good of a boxer he was, as there was still some old spark, still a bit of his famously laid-back, dominant style. Mayweather pursued his man while remaining highly protective in the fourth round. Before long, he was literally making his man rough. Liquid Mayweather continued to overtake Moore in the sixth round. Between rounds, Mayweather took a card from one of the girls in the ring and worried about it.
Poor Moore tried to be ferocious in season seven, but only received arms and gloves in the end. Mayweather can end the fight whenever he wants. The previous pound against the big pound actually beat Moore in eighth place. Moore beat the count but essentially played a pocket punch role for the rest of the match.
