Mayweather stops Freitas in 8 in a scintillating display of skill and speed

Floyd Mayweather Jr. 22-0 (18KO's) tonight proved to the world he is the fighter he says he is, a complete offensive and defensive package, an inside wizard, and a master of making adjustments in the heat of battle.

Dominating round 1 through 8, he busted up an elite level fighter in Acelino Freitas who himself was unbeaten but now falls to 23-1 (18KO's) with quick combinations, use of an extremely effective shoulder roll, and a jab that was in the Brazilians face all night that offset his balance and made sure he couldn't get any rhythm going in the fight, he was simply not in Floyds league, and it showed.

Busting his face up in the 6th, Freitas began to bleed badly from his nose and both his eyes began to swell, and Floyd capitalised on this as Freitas dropped his hands because he was beginning to fatigue due to the lack of oxygen he was being able to get pumped around his body, Floyd made Freitas face look a bloody mess, and the referee had seen enough mid way through the 8th round.

Now the WBC, WBO & Ring Magazine Champion has all but cleared up at SFW he can start looking towards his next fight and the focus inevitably turns to his move up a division to 135lb's (LW) and a potential showdown with Diego Corrales 20-1 (14KO's)
