Saturday night Floyd Mayweather Jr. won the fight over Robert Guerreo and  took home $32 million.

Here’s how Sports Illustrated described it:

The defense was back, just like it used to be. Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dad was back, too, just like he used to be. And Mayweather was a winner once again – just like he always is.

Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year’s absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight title fight. The game plan was defense, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance not totally expected at the age of 36.

Mayweather said, “I needed my father tonight. My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last.”

Mayweather was masterful at times, landing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a performance that mimicked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several occasions, including a series of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees.

Mayweather said, “We did it again. I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He’s a true warrior.”

All three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109.
