Breakdown & Highlight From Mayweather vs Paul Exhibition Bout
- After a hiatus of three years, the former five-division champion returned to the ring to face the YouTube sensation in an eight-round exhibition boxing match
Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul headlined a massive boxing event at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
The event, titled ‘Bragging Rights’, also featured the professional boxing debut of former NFL star Chad Johnson against MMA fighter and bare-knuckle boxer Brian Maxwell. Johnson, a former NFL wide receiver, faced Maxwell in a four-round exhibition bout.
Floyd Mayweather largely dominated Logan Paul over the course of eight rounds, although no official winner was declared as it was an exhibition bout.
To his credit, Logan Paul managed to survive all eight rounds against the former five-division world champion in only the second professional bout of his career.
However, Floyd outstruck him with power shots and landed more strikes in total. He also had a better efficiency percentage than Logan Paul, and if the judges were indeed present, the result would have been a foregone conclusion.
It was a great performance from Logan Paul, and he can take away some decent notes and lessons from his performance to get better in any upcoming fights.
