The big sports events this past weekend were no doubt a horse race and a boxing match. (And yes the year is still 2007; you didn't enter a time warp that took you back to the '30s.)

So which sport took the top spot?

It's hard to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. entering the ring (with 50 Cent by his side) wearing a huge sombrero, trunks in the color of Mexico's flag, tassels on his boots, a robe inscribed with "Mexico Loves Mayweather, Mayweather Loves Mexico," all on Cinco de Mayo, in a fight against Oscar De La Hoya.

What? No Donkey?

Mayweather's outfit, virtually a slap in the face to De La Hoya, I thought would at least result in De La Hoya knocking him out.

But I thought wrong.

In the fight touted as the bout to save boxing, purists may have loved it, but there wasn't enough sizzle to bring the casual fan back. (Not unless there's a donkey next time.)

What was that? You want to see it again?

Well, you can check out a YouTube clip of the 12^th round of Saturday night's Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather fight below and maybe a rematch in the future.

But until then, here's the 12^th round:
