Tenshin: I thought Floyd Mayweather underestimated me, but it was the other way around

Leading up to their exhibition boxing match on Rizin’s New Year’s Eve event, Tenshin Nasukawa felt that Floyd Mayweather may have been underestimating his skills. The young Japanese star didn’t have any professional boxing experience, but going undefeated and delivering all those savage knockouts in kickboxing made him feel like he’d at least perform better than others have done in there.

Less than two minutes into their contest, and Mayweather effortlessly dispelled that idea. Despite not having a training camp of his own, Floyd easily showed what a much bigger and far better boxer could do against a newcomer.
