Round 6
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
Mayweather shuffles his way back to the center of the ring. Alvarez meets him with the same style. He’s up on his toes and trying to jab.
Wham!
Alvarez lands a devastating left cross behind a blinding jab. Mayweather’s head rips back, and he loses his balance. He’s falling backward but staying upright by backpedalling while Alvarez chases.
The referee starts counting. Mayweather is bewildered. His glove touched the canvas! He’s mad, but the referee gives him the standing eight count, then let’s them continue. Alvarez is a bit more aggressive than normal, but Mayweather avoids any more big punches with his excellent defense.
Alvarez 10-8
57-57 Even
