Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Robert Guerrero: LIVE UPDATES On Welterweight Title Fight

A few days after his father nearly instigated a brawl at a pre-fight press conference, Robert Guerrero (31-1-1) will get his own shot at Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0).

"The fighters are the ones who fight, not the fathers," Mayweather said after the heated exchange during which he was called a "woman beater," via The Associated Press.

With Mayweather's WBC welterweight title and flawless record on the line, the fighters will finally fight at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday night. This fight is Mayweather's first since serving jail time after a conviction on misdemeanor domestic violence and harassment charges. This bout is also the first of a blockbuster 30-month, six bout deal that Mayweather signed with Showtime earlier this year.

At age 36, Mayweather arrived for the bout as the favorite but is already talking about walking away from the sport after this contract is fulfilled.

"In 30 months my career is over," he said ahead of the fight, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. "I want to rack up my six victories and hopefully do commentating and keep the sport of boxing alive. That's what I'm focused on."

Undoubtedly, Mayweather intends to head into that retirement with his record unblemished. While the oddsmakers favor him to wake up on Sunday with a 44-0 career record, Guerrero and his father have other ideas.

Can Guerrero pull off the upset?

@ danrafaelespn : Rd 7 for Floyd. He is turning in a masterpiece. Guerrero trying hard but cant get anything done. #MayDay #boxing @espn @SportsCenter

A much better round for Guerrero but he merely stemmed the tide rather than turning it. The challenger did land some body blows. He may have been too tired to do more damage.

@ David_Mayo : Just a technical lesson in how a righty fights a lefty. #mayday #boxing

@ mrogersyahoo : Mayweather unloads a volley of big right hands to easily take round 5. He's won every round except the first on my card.

Guerrero clearly mentally ready for this fight, not giving an inch. But he's off the pace and can't do any damage or stop Mayweather's right.

@ ebosshoops : A little more rust wearing off in each round. Won't be surprised to see Floyd end this in the 7th or 8th round.
