Floyd Mayweather further strengthened his claim to greatness with a one-sided defeat of Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas.
In doing so the 36-year-old American secured the WBC and WBA light-middleweight titles and stretched his unbeaten professional run to 45 fights.
The judges scored the fight 114-114, 116-112, 117-111, although the announcement of CJ Ross's drawn card was met with stunned silence.
Mayweather was never threatened, making his Mexican foe look ordinary at times.
Despite witnessing another Mayweather masterclass, Ross - who courted controversy by awarding Timothy Bradley a victory over Manny Pacquiao last year - somehow thought Alvarez had done enough to earn a draw.
But sanity prevailed, meaning the Mayweather gravy train rumbles on -
Maybe its time to have a long hard look at these judges scoring methods -
