On the night the dark shadow of Luis Suarez fell over the Las Vegas strip, the lights were switched back on at full power by the genius of the greatest boxer on earth. Floyd Mayweather was allegedly bitten on his left hand by Argentine wild man Marcos Maidana and not only the deed but the words were ugly reminders of serial chomper Suarez. The scene had moved from the football pitch to the prize ring but the act seemed just as despicable. After Mayweather protested he had been bitten in the eighth round, referee Kenny Bayless issued a severe lecture to the Maidana corner before allowing the fight to continue. Floyd Mayweather celebrates a unanimous points victory over Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas, extending his career record to 47-0 . Floyd Mayweather moved to 47-0 in his career with another routine victory at the MGM Grand as Marcos Maidana failed to match him . Floyd Mayweather was a clear and deserved winner over the Argentine Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand, taking the win on  unanimous decision . One he had finished delivering a masterclass to his challenger, Mayweather said: ‘At first I didn’t know what had happened but then I realised that he bit me. My fingers went numb and from the eighth round I could only really use the other hand.’ In true Suarez fashion, Maidana said: ‘No, no.’ And when showed the video clip of his crime he said: ‘Perhaps he put his glove in my mouth. Maybe he thinks I’m a dog.’ It was outrageous behaviour but it could not diminish the brilliance which gave Mayweather the 47th victory of his phenomenal, undefeated career.

Once again, a Floyd Mayweather fight ended with panic among the crowds leaving at the sold-out 16-000 seat arena. The exit procedure seemed to be working better than when there was crushing at the first Maidana fight four months ago. Suddenly, hundreds of fans came running back into the MGM Grand Garden Arena, several of them falling over the seats. There was a report that someone had brandished a gun on the concourse and the fans were fleeing. Several were wheeled away on stretchers but none of the injuries appeared serious. And once he had corralled Argentina’s raging bull for a second time, he raised the prospect that the world might finally see him meet Manny Pacquiao in the $300 million mega-fight for which the world is still waiting, saying: ‘I will talk to my team to see what the future holds. But if the Pacquiao fight presents itself lets make it happen.’ Mayweather only gave himself ‘a C or a C-minus because I got caught with some shots I shouldn’t have.’ Modesty from this man, after giving a master-class in ring-craft. But then he is something of a contradiction. Confronted by suggestions that his legs may be weakening, he danced and moved to drive Maidana to the distraction which no doubt led him to use his teeth rather than his fist. And while so doing he picked off his out-classed challenger with dazzling combinations and bursts of power which nearly landed the statement KO he craved. Mayweather was on the floor twice but each time from shoves better suited to wrestling and on the second occasion referee  Bayless deducted a point from the Argentine. Maidana could have been thrown out for the biting incident but Mayweather needed no help to pirouette and punch his way to victory.
