Two months after becoming a world champion for the first time (Genaro Hernandez, 8 rounds retirement), Floyd Mayweather made the first defence of his WBC Super-featherweight title against Angel Manfredy in Miami, Florida.

Mayweather made short work of the usually tough Manfredy, beating him to the punch with his superior hand speed and ring craft.

Near the end of the 2nd round, Mayweather caught his challenger with a big right hand that buckled his knees. Mayweather kept the onslaught up until referee Frank Santore stepped in to call a halt to proceedings at 2:47 of the round.
