001 Mayweather and CaneloAre you nervous like me? It is almost time for the show!! 

My gosh. The biggest fight in recent memory is finally here. Both fighters look ready and quite frankly this jam packed arena is ready. Canelo fans are all over the place. Singing and cheering. They think it's their man's night to shine. But Money May does not play. 

Canelo walks in first sporting a robe with the colors of the Mexican flag. He looks relaxed as the joyous crowd sings his entrance song.  

They chant Canelo Canelo Canelo….

Now it’s Floyd’s turn. With Lil Wayne on his side, Floyd walks towards the ring with his usual chill. He’s chewing gum and walking towards the ring as if he’s getting the morning paper.

Jimmy Lennon is doing thing. We are ready to go.

Let's go!
