After a shaky start, Floyd Mayweather Jr. went on to dominate Shane Mosley in a unanimous decision win at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The unbeaten fighter improved to 41-0 with the performance. Mayweather stuck mostly to the jab and his elusive defense to frustrate Mosley and avoid another kind of shot that could change the fight. There were times he did let his hands go, landing big right hands in the later rounds that seemed to hurt Mosley but never truly threatened to end the fight.
