			*[[Dan Rafael]] of [[ESPN]].com reported:
			:Both fighters tried to establish their jabs in the opening round, although Alvarez also went for Mayweather's body in an effort to slow him down. But that didn't work. Despite it being a tactical fight early, Mayweather, with his quickness, was able to land jabs and move out of the way before Alvarez's slower punches could connect. Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs) found a bit more offense in the third round, landing two hard right hands cleanly in succession. Alvarez...took them well. Mayweather snapped Alvarez's head back with another right in the fourth round, and Alvarez retaliated with a low blow, drawing a warning from referee Kenny Bayless. But Mayweather shook it off and began to open up with his punches even more, tagging Alvarez to the head with more right hands and working the body. Mayweather began to lay a bit of a beating on Alvarez in the fifth round. He landed a really clean right hand and was doubling up his jab, and Alvarez's face began to swell. Mayweather continued to land right hands against a seemingly confused and tiring Alvarez in the sixth round. It was more of the same in the seventh....By the time the last quarter of the fight arrived, Alvarez seemed to have lost his spirit and to be just trying to make it to the final bell as Mayweather continued to land nearly at will.

			*Judge C.J. Ross' 114-114 scorecard was heavily criticized. It was the second scorecard she had rendered in the previous 15 months that had come under intense scrutiny. She was one of the two judges who awarded [[Timothy Bradley]] a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)\|split decision victory]] against [[Manny Pacquiao]] in June 2012, drawing worldwide condemnation because most believed Pacquiao had won with ease. Three days after the Mayweather-Alvarez fight, Ross sent [[Nevada State Athletic Commission]] executive director [[Keith Kizer]] an email saying that she was taking a leave of absence from working fights. "I will be taking some time off from boxing but will keep in touch," Ross wrote. [http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9688631/cj-ross-steps-scoring-mayweather-alvarez-fight-draws-controversy]

			==Post Fight Comments==
			*"Seventeen years, and I'm still going strong. I think had I pressed the attack earlier, I could have gotten the stoppage, but I am very happy with my performance." - Floyd Mayweather Jr.
			*"It was simple: I couldn't catch him. He was very elusive. He's a great fighter. I did not know how to get him. He is very intelligent. He's got a lot of experience. Honestly, I couldn't find him. In the later rounds, I felt frustrated. I recognize that he beat me. I tried to connect on him, but I just couldn't. At the same time, he also missed me a lot. A lot of punches landed on my gloves." - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez
