What happened in the fight – Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather?
Sunday’s pay-per-view boxing event had a little bit of everything and lived up to its managed expectations billing as a “Bragging Rights” contest between Mayweather and Paul.
The experience gap led many to believe that Mayweather would knock Paul out. But Paul constantly latched his frame onto Mayweather throughout the eight rounds of fighting. Still, Mayweather landed shots and stalked Paul down without exerting much energy. No winner was announced because there were no judges in the special event.
By round 6 Logan just repeatedly threw lazy jabs out and Mayweather looked for the kill shot. This is a little frustrating to watch because Logan seemed dead tired and exhausted.
Paul admitted he didn’t have anything to lose in this bout as a relative novice in boxing going up against an all-time great. Despite that, Paul said that he believed he would beat Mayweather and it would be the biggest upset in the history of combat sports. Floyd admitted in the post-match interview- “I’m not 21 anymore.”, but also mentioned being “surprised” by Logan Paul.
