In the final seconds, Mayweather pressed with combinations of rights and jabs, but there was no more time.
In the third round, Moore was more active. The fighter attacked with rights and hooks to the former champion's waistline. Floyd tried to counter the attacks and attacked his opponent with attacks on the waist and head. In the final seconds, Mayweather scored with a series of jabs, but the bell sounded.
The fourth round started with Moore trying to score with jabs. Floyd, however, was the one walking forward. Mayweather attacked from long range and seemed to save on gas. The clash ended without much action between the fighters.
