Floyd Mayweather Jr. Vs. Juan Manuel Marquez This Saturday

As you may remember, I originally messed up the date on this fight. Pretty sure I got it right this time. The fight will be this Saturday, September 19th.

I'll be in Vegas during this fight, so that should be cool. I'll have to throw some money on it, but honestly, I have no idea what's going to happen in this one. My best guess is that Mayweather will win either around the 8th round, or by decision. We'll see how well that prediction holds up. Here's the details of the fight:

Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. will make his celebrated return to the ring Sept. 19, the rescheduled date for his 12-round welterweight showdown against Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The HBO Pay-Per-View fight, billed as "Number One/Numero Uno," had originally been set for July 18 before Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) suffered a rib injury in training that forced a postponement. The fight will now take place in conjunction with Mexican Independence Day, traditionally a big boxing weekend.
