Logan Paul goes the distance against the greatest boxer of this generation at the Hardrock Stadium in Miami. The exhibition match was not what most of the fans expected and neither Floyd Mayweather nor Logan Paul was able to prove their predictions right.
It was termed an exhibition match and that’s what it was. There was not a single moment when either of the fighters was in trouble of getting knocked out. But both Logan and Floyd had their moments during the fight. Mayweather won and kept his unbeaten streak intact. On the other hand, going the distance against Floyd Mayweather is a win for Logan Paul.
Though Logan Paul clearly lost the fight he did surprise many fans including Mayweather. Fans were expecting Floyd to finish the fight in the later rounds. But, Logan was able to survive 8 rounds, achieving huge feet. In the post-fight interview, Mayweather explained why he was not able to finish the fight and also gave credit to Logan Paul. Mayweather stated:
“I had fun. you have to realize I am not 21 anymore. But it’s good. To move around with these young guys test my skills just to have some fun. Great young fighter, strong, though he is better than I thought he was. As far as with the big guys, the heavyweights, it’s going to be kind of hard. But he is a tough rough competitor. Good action, we actually had fun. And I was surprised by him tonight. Good little work. Good guy.”
