WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. sits in his corner between rounds during his title fight against Marcos Maidana of Argentina at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada September 13, 2014.

Undefeated five-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. claimed a unanimous decision over Argentina’s Marcos Maidana to successfully defend three world titles and push his perfect record to 47-0 on Saturday.

In just the second rematch of his 18-year career, the 37-year-old American came out on top on all three scorecards, retaining his World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight and light-middleweight belts.

The victory was another masterful display of evasion from Mayweather, widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters of all-time, as he danced out danger and used his lightning counter punching to frustrate the Argentine brawler.

The bout was a feisty one, with Mayweather accusing Maidana of biting his arm, while the American tagged the Argentine, who he beat by a majority decision in their first fight in May, with a low blow then taunted him to continue boxing.
