	The opening round saw both superbly quick handed fighters come out tentatively, each looking to counter the other. Apart from a few decent jabs, neither fighter landed to effect. Mosley went down midway through the round from a slip. A pair of big right hands hurt Mayweather in the 2nd and it appeared at one point that he may go down. He was able to maintain himself, however, until the end of the round. Mayweather appeared to have regained his composure and likely won Round 3 by stepping up his aggression and pressing Mosley. Round 4, again, was a very measured round, with both fighters looking to land big counter-right hands. Apart from some nice jabs, though, the major punch of the round was a right hand by Mayweather. Round 5 saw both fighters winging with often wild shots, but neither landing noticeably more so or more effectively than the other. In the 6th, both fighters looked to feint and counter, but Mayweather appeared to have made the better adjustments and was a step ahead. Round 7 and 8 expanded the gap between the two fighters as Mayweather landed cleanly against a determined but slowed Mosley. It was evident that Mayweather was in his zone and beginning to cruise. In the 9th, Mosley was the busier of the two, but Mayweather continued to land more effectively and battered his opponent with right hands. Mayweather continued to pound Mosley in the 10th and hurt him with a digging body shot. Following the round, Mosley's corner hinted at stopping the fight if he didn't show them something. The 11th saw a game Mosley throw punches but not be able to land against Mayweather's [[Philly shell]]. Floyd continued to snap Mosley's head back with jabs and right hands. The final round continued much as the several previous rounds. Mosley threw but was out of gas and Mayweather picked his spots with straight shots.
