Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul go the distance in 8 round exhibition match
CHANDAN KHANNA/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
“The Thrilla in Manilla,” “The Rumble in the Jungle,” “The Fight of the Century.” No one would include Sunday’s “Bragging Rights” exhibition match between Floyd Mayweather and former YouTube star Logan Paul in that group of esteemed boxing events; for good reason.
“I don’t want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again,” Paul said. “The fact that I’m in here with one of the best boxers of all times proves the odds can be beaten.
In reality, Paul is right. The fact that a relative novice boxer (Paul boasted a 0-1 pro record prior to the fight) was able to get in the ring with a future Hall-of-Famer such as Mayweather is quite an accomplishment.
Standing at 6’2 and roughly 190lbs, Paul had a considerable size advantage against the 5’8, 150lb Money May. Despite this, Mayweather’s boxing brilliance was able to overcome this.
ESPN scored the match 78-74 for Mayweather. According to CompuBox, He landed 43 total punches to Paul’s 28.
36 of those punches were power shots. In comparison, Paul landed only 21 power shots. As far as body shots, Mayweather landed 17 shots compared to just one body shot for Paul.
In a clip from the fight that has gone viral, Mayweather hits Paul cleanly with a hook to the face. As Paul looks like he may be on the verge of a knockout, Mayweather appears to hold him up so that the fight could continue:
Many have criticized Floyd’s decision to fight Paul; many believing events as their fight are bad for the actual sport of boxing. Despite this, Mayweather has maintained a businesslike approach in regards to why he continues to participate in exhibitions during his retirement.
“When the money comes, we’ll see who is the real winner. At the end of the day, I’m going into the Hall of Fame for boxing. I have nothing to prove.”
When asked if he will ever participate in an official boxing match again, Floyd replied “absolutely not.” In contrast, Logan Paul will most likely continue to pursue a professional boxing career.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours as of
late, but I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is lovely price sufficient for me. Personally,
if all web owners and bloggers made just right content
material as you did, the internet might be much more useful
than ever before.
What a stuff of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable knowledge regarding
unpredicted emotions.
