Cotto also makes the 3rd defense of his WBA Super World Super Welterweight Championship in this bout.

Floyd Mayweather was a 6-1 betting favorite and this is his 2nd fight at 154, Cotto’s 4th in this weight class.

While the fight was competitive and exciting, it was mostly in favor of Money Mayweather who won most of the rounds en route to a UD.

With this victory, Mayweather became a 2 time world champion at 154.
