On May 5, 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, boxing witnessed one of the biggest superfights of the era as Oscar “The Golden Boy” De La Hoya faced undefeated pound-for-pound star Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather Jr. for the WBC super welterweight championship. The bout, billed “The World Awaits,” became one of the most lucrative events in boxing history. De La Hoya came forward early, using pressure to try to keep Mayweather from settling into a rhythm. But as the fight progressed, Mayweather’s speed, defense, and sharp counterpunching began to shine. While De La Hoya remained active, many of his punches were blocked or avoided, while Mayweather landed the cleaner, more precise shots throughout the middle and late rounds. After 12 competitive rounds, the judges awarded Mayweather a split decision victory. The win gave Mayweather the WBC title and cemented his status as one of boxing’s elite stars. 📍 Date: May 5, 2007 📍 Location: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada 🏆 Result: Mayweather wins by Split Decision 🏆 Title: WBC Super Welterweight Championship 🔥 A megafight of skill, hype, and history — the night Floyd Mayweather outboxed “The Golden Boy” on boxing’s biggest stage. -------------------- ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ ║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣ ╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣ ╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝ to the channel people 00:00 Intro 01:35 Round 1 02:40 Round 2 03:55 Round 3 05:08 Round 4 -------------------- Follow me insta @charlessalbox facebook @charlessalbox #boxing #usaboxing #mayweather #canelo
