Mayweather vs Logan Paul

As much as I hate these circus shows, the one thing that is going to make me watch it (not live, the day after) is I want to see how Floyd handles the size difference.

Logan is 6'2 to 6'3 and Floyd is like 5'7, there's also a weight difference which I'm not sure how Floyd has swung that past the boxing commission although I know this is going down as an exhibition type fight although its with full rules.

Even at 44 Floyd's speed advantage will be massive.

Floyd utilized a jab to the pit of the stomach throughout his career, I think that will be a huge part of his gameplan.

Ones a boxer. The other appears on YouTube lol

If this isn't ended within 15 seconds if that then Floyd Mayweather reputation is over

Ach, you can't overcome physics that easily.

Any true person with boxing experience know's that.

Floyd is not a power puncher, is way shorter and 3-4 divisions lighter in weight.

Yes exerience wise it is a complete mismatch, but apart from skill and experience, Floyd is giving away advantages in every other area.

Logan is younger, taller, heavier.

Now does that mean he'll win, no, but it also means Floyd will have to pick him apart not KO him.

Honestly ........... I'd be surprised if this doesn't go 12 rounds or at least 8-9 rounds, unless Floyd shows us some power we've never seen before.

I called Mayweather vs Delahoya to the letter back in the day, had a bet with a friend, I even broke the whole fight down to him and I was spot on.

It's only an 8 round fight.

It's only an 8 round fight.

.............. jesus christ.

Its going the full length.

You heard it here first.

Anyone care to make predictions?

There are no judges so unless it's a KO there is no official winner.

Floyd will obviously "win" though, I think Paul will shell up when Floyd lands a couple good shots and initiate a lot of clinches to stall the fight and lose a decision.

Floyd is also 44 and doesn't train anymore, a KO isn't likely.

When Floyd fought McNugget, wasn't there judges on that one?

The fight looked pretty official to me.

Anyway I was hoping for the same, this better not be a Tyson vs RJ type fight, that fight was trash, Tyson started going easy on Roy and hitting him to the body instead of the face, while Roy just ran around holding all fight.

Yes.

Floyd vs Conor was an official boxing match, Floyd moved to 50-0.

If Floyd wins or loses against Paul tomorrow his record won't change.

It's exactly like Tyson vs Jones: an exhibition.

Not exactly. KOs are allowed and they will take it seriously. There's no "official" judges and winner but all that means is that their pro records won't change. I assume there will still be unofficial judges and a winner will be announced even if it goes the full 8 rounds.

Anyone care to make predictions?

Logan's jab is too much for Mayweather to handle and he quits on the stool between 3rd and 4th round.

What a load of c*ck.

Is it at least 10oz gloves?

I mean are you telling me they're going to go easy on each other like Tyson vs Roy.

Barely worth watching if that's the case.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Yeah 10 oz.

Floyd says Paul wanted 14 or 16 oz. lmao

[DiamondGooner]

Yeah 10 oz.

This is one of the worst publicity cash grabs we've seen yet.

The older Floyd gets the worse they'll become.

At least McGreggor was a legit bout.

Floyd can only get back some pride in this match if he puts it on Logan, if Logan walks out practically unscathed then more fool anyone who buys one of these fights again.

[Va-Va-Voom]

f***ing dreadful

[DiamondGooner]

.................. that was an absolute disgrace.

Fans booed at the end.

I hope that's the end of these, can't hate on Floyd for ripping off the public for millions, easy money from the fools.

But it was horrible, a circus, hugging, 8 rounds with some guy who's had 2-3 fights against a guy with 50-0.

Whoever bought this PPV deserved what they got, ripped off.

Someone on Reddit summed it up best: "My expectations were low, but I'm still disappointed".

Absolute embarrassment for the sport.
