Commentators started saying “This is Floyd’s biggest test” and ended saying “this isn’t a fair fight”.

50:55 Whenever a boxing commentator says, "Where's the drama?" He's not a boxing commentator, he's a casual fan.

Y’all notice how almost all fights Floyd usually ends the round by him being close to his corner and making the opponent walk all the way to his.

I missed Uncle Roger during this fight "keep doing whatcha doing, keep running that shit up the middle."

Larry Merchant saw a lot of boxing matches, thinks he knows boxing. I look at the sky every night, doesn't make me an astronaut.

Round 5 was a virtuoso performance of hit and don't get hit. Floyd is undoubtedly one of the smartest boxers to ever step foot in the ring.

This was such an underrated performance by Mayweather...

Funny how Larry Merchant tried to insult Floyd by bringing up the fact that spectators began to flee the arena after the 10th RD. That's because he was putting on a Boxing Clinic. I wonder what Larry had to say about the Canelo fight? I was in attendance for that fight, and after RD 6, Canelo fans were leaving because he was getting a boxing lesson from a master. Not because the fight was boring as Larry Merchant tries to point out. It's the art of boxing, not UFC. He has always hated on Floyd for some reason.

I see why Mayweather got away from HBO...

some commentators have never got into the ring, that's why they can say shit like Floyd should give us more excitement, stfu fighters are risking their lives in the ring. It's promoter's job to give fans excitement. They should just appreciate the way it is

Mayweather never gets credit for his ring genious he's a beast in the ring they hate on him terribly and he still wins baldomir beaten gatti judah and Mayweather made them all look like amateurs boxing is called sweet science truly great fighter the best ever

RIP emmanuel stewart “no head movement I guess he proud he can take a punch “ 😂🤣😂🤣

Baldomir weighed 162 on the night thats ridiculous, floyd is truly superb

At the end of the 6 round the crowd goes crazy from a 5 punch combo from Floyd off the ropes. Lampley says the crowd goes wild for a right hand Baldomir 😂😂😂

The commentators killin me😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Baldamire walked around at 185lbs, wtf was he doing fighting at 147? He spent more time trying to make weight than training for his fights

Starting with this fight, people started to criticize Floyd's defensive fighting skills. Listen to the commentary at Round 10.

Mayweather is so disciplined and so methodical and pure business. I respect him.

I'm willing to bet my house on it that 'Larry Merchant' NEVER had a single fight in his Life. #NEVER

Floyd is the GOAT hands down, don't care what the commentators say

Larry and Emmanuel are just not Mayweather fans. They are hating. simply put, he has beat everyone

Another example of Floyd fighting guys way bigger than him

Funny as hell how Balomirs trainer kept lying to him lol 😂

The thing about the commentator's opinions here, is the fact that Floyd stayed in the pocket for the early rounds, giving Baldomir every opportunity to do whatever he wanted to do. Baldomir either wouldn't or couldn't take advantage, and so Floyd decided to -- with his injured hand, mind you -- give a boxing clinic because he could.

why go toe toe with a guy who walks around in the 180's fights at 147 and comes in on fight night as 162. Floyd is not even a real welterweight he can make 140 if he wanted to, he fights at 147 comes in to fights less than he weighed in or maybe three pounds more, fights bigger guys all the time, only guy he fought who was smaller was marquez!!!!! and he schooled marquez

Floyd basically trains himself and makes adjustments on his own ,amazing

I like how the commentators keep saying the fight is “boring” instead of doing their job and trying to make it more entertaining lol

Baldomir came in the ring as a middleweight and Floyd basically pitched a shutout

you know they really wanted Floyd to lose and they didn't care who the opponent was .

This is one of my favorite Floyd fights.

What viewers need to realize is that Floyd wouldn't have never fought Baldomir if he didn't beat Judah for the WW belts. He did it to unify the division (which he still holds to this day 9 years later) to make himself a strong case to fight De La Hoya. Baldomir was just a road he had to take in order to get there. Anybody who knows a thing or two about boxing knew from the start that he was way out of Floyd's league. The final result was obvious.

An absolute Masterclass b Floyd.

Floyd Mayweather's rant at the end of the post-fight in ring interview was as real as it gets and the result of Larry's and the whole HBO team's hating on Floyd.

The commentary was hating hard.....he boxed unbelievable

Everyone complains about how boring it is to watch floyd and to some extent I agree his style lends more towards the purist boxing fan. Not really geared towards ppl who want to see two guys trying to kill each other. I find it entertaining because he has fought a lot of brawlers and their punch out put drops dramatically. Back to my original point tho, he is so boring that he has set every record as far as ppv and live gate, he has even set and broken the records he set so... It's kinda profitable to be boring I guess

It's outstanding that just before this fight Floyd gave probably the worst ass whooping he's ever dealt in his career to Gatti, and then puts on a display of absolute technical genius against Baldomir here. TBE

I fully admire this pugilist's boxing style that involves self defence, periodic aggressive attack and his composure while in the ring. Its no doubt that he is the best pound for pound in his weight category

The opening statement from Larry Merchant is the most honest display of respect for Floyd I’ve ever seen.

Floyd’s ability to correctly predict (and dodge) his opponent’s counters is absolutely incredible!

Lampley saying "Tru Dat entertainment" 😂🤣

emanuel stewart always found some negative comments towards floyd,failing to realize every fighter he can name that he thinks is better than Floyd has several loses from their prime years foward.When you cant find a way to adapt & win they give you credit for fighting a stupid fight because it was a war...What do you train for if your gonna fight stupid just to make the fans cheer you?

The mayweathers were so legendary Rodger first person ever had a jail interview on hbo 😭😭😭

I think the old pink, I mean "white" guy hates Mayweather...pinky

Floyds like somebody’s fight night character with those lead straights and step right uppercuts

Lamply was never really bias and if he was he hid it very good. Stewart and merchant hated this man for no reason. The real hatred towards Floyd is that he is a young black man that is rich and a white man doesn't own him. #SelfMade He mastered the art of hitting and not being hit if you love brawlers you don't like boxing you like slugging.

Once again this brother is on point with critical information that effects BOXING as a sport and venue for Entertainment. Still giving relevant information that inhances the casual fans understanding of the business and tradition of Boxing. Ego thank you.

One thing for certain floyd is a master at the sweet science. 💯

I didn’t realize how trash HBO commentary was as a kid. What a disgrace. Embarrassing. So glad Floyd cussed their asses out at the end

8:44 "i would actually favor baldomir to beat him" - emmanuel steward. 10:06 "this is the first real test hes having as a professional fighter" - emmanuel steward. 54:37 "its not a fair fight" - larry merchant. 1:03:36 "there is no room for perfection (floyd) in boxing" - larry merchant. this fight is how a mayweather - maidana fight would play out. other than pacman, stylistically amir khan is the only guy who can give floyd some trouble, not too much trouble though.

I was t a friend of boxing but ever since I start watching Mayweather, he got me hooked

This was one of the most amazing boxing show ever put on! Floyd made a fighter that was whooping everyone's ass look like an amateur. Larry Merchant, Jim Lampley and Emanuel Stewart hate on Floyd because he is so rich.

This was the worst commentary in history.

They were really Throwing Shade throughout the whole fight at Floyd lmao 🤣

“You a commentator so stick 2 commentating.” 🤣💪🏾 #TMT#TBE

Floyd had a VERY underrated chin.

Hard to Believe this was 11 + years ago.

At 10:00 There were quite a few of Floyd’s fights where Emmanuel Stewart would describe as Floyd’s “toughest test”. Then Floyd proceeded to destroy that opponent. lol

This when Floyd was getting tired of merchant lol

Baldomir in this fight was a master at blocking Floyd's punches... WITH HIS FACE.

This fight showed Floyd never even needed a trainer. He was incredibly sharp in the ring and knew what he was doing all on his own. Its kinda hard to hear the commentators though, they are reluctant to give him credit for some reason.

The amount of hate Floyd got

How's he supposed to give an entertaining fight with a broken hand? That is the entertainment. Dominating the fight, with a broken dominate hand lol man he was bobbing and weaving too. insane. I love the skillset of Floyd, and the confidence haha

Skip to 7:25 for one of the greatest ring walks of all time

I cannot imagine how frustrating it is trying to land clean punches on Floyd. Look at Baldomir's face expression, he's exhausted, feels like giving up

Emmanuel steward always hated on may weather its like he wanted to train him or something,

i don't think they should ever have people who've never been in the ring speaking on fighters anymore

"Pretty boy Floyd, the one and only, signing off."

Baldomir just got 20 Years for rapping his daughter when she was 7 yrs old

Larry merchant always says boxing needs a drama. He knows nothing abt boxing. Good boxing doesn't need to be bloody and even KO, which he dubs 'drama'.

Larry wants a brawl ? I can take him to some hoods where one pops off everyday or refer him to World Star ! 😂

that left hook and straight right was finding a home all night 💯

22:28 - wtf fight is emanuel steward watching ?

amazing foot work

Gotta give Roger all the credit he deserves 🐐

MAYWEATER IS A VERY GOOD BOX AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW 🤔 TO BOX WITH HIM THE MAN IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE GUY HE CAME FROM A BOXING FAMILY 👪 THAT'S MAKE HIM THAT MUCH BETTER. ALWAYS ♥ FOR HIM.

The difference in the corners was crazy... Baldomir's corner sounded like they had no answers while Mayweather's was actively talking to him, making a difference.

Floyd is a really brutal fighter. I see this fighter begging for a knockout punch and Floyd refuses to hit him hard enough to give him an out, he’s just abusing him for the crowd..😅

FLOYD MAYWEATHER (🇺🇸) DOMINATED CARLOS BALDOMIR (🇦🇷) FOR 11 ROUNDS CONSECUTIVELY SO GREAT AND TOOK THE WBC, RING AND LINEAL WORLD WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FROM HIM SO NICE

Imagine Elerby telling Floyd how to box?LOL

Fighters can get beat the fuck up & they praise him & say he's a great fighter but floyd schools fighters & make them look average & they hate him smfh

They disrespected the goat on a nightly basis "Not a real boxer" "Just a couple offensive moves" 51-0

Floyd is 46 today making 30-40 times more money in exhibitions than almost every fighter in the sport. He just made $35,000,000 in a beating on John Gotti III. There's a reason he can do that at 46 years old and its because he didnt take much damage throughout what was a long career.

27:50 "your winning Carlos " then shows stats of him losing😂😂👌

I like hearing that old guy hate on Mayweather LOL

props to the TBE, but amazing the style hasn't change since then

After the interview, Jim says "Well, we finally got some drama", implying that the only thing exciting of the fight was the interview lol

199 clean punches landed by Floyd in this fight. HBO Commentators: "Waaaah he's too defensive"

18:25 lampley wrong as usual

SMH at these commentators they don't know nothing about boxing it's not always about knocking a person out, clearly they some haters.. Yeah If you want to see knockouts go watch a street fight go look up Kimbo Slice garbage ass who fight amateur fighters.. or look at UFC and you better hope its not a lopsided victory that's going to last one minute or less because then you're going to want your money back lbs

I completely agree with Emanuel’s bewilderment at Floyd comparing himself to Ray Robinson

Larry merchant has no sense. Shows that wisdom doesn't always come from age for real.

Remember half this fight he’s fighting with a broken hand, and he still couldn’t be touched!

Larry was hating the whole fight

He just plan slow tonight that comment had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A cure for insomnia, Floyd's best and only contribution to society.

Larry Merchant be hating on mayweather since 1903!!!

Had to mute the sound, can't stand that Bigot Larry Merchant and his gang of haters!!!

Baldomir was probably the slowest puncher mayweather ever fought.

It's amazing to watch Floyd Mayweather then realize that Tank Davis is using a lot of the same moves. Mayweather taught Tank those moves and they work for Tank Davis too.

Another beautiful performance by Floyd Mayweather!
