Although Logan Paul had a significant size advantage over Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Sunday night, not many pundits expected the YouTuber to go the distance against one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Mayweather tried to put Paul away in the later rounds, but Paul utilized his grappling to great effect, essentially shutting down Floyd’s offense by tying him up in the clinch.
Although it was only an eight-round exhibition match, most fans expected more from the bout and expressed their disappointment on social media. Mayweather admits that he ‘wanted to give the people a show’ but claims Paul ruined the spectacle by ‘fighting to survive’.
