Logan Paul had the biggest opportunity of his life when he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr at the Hard Rock stadium. But “The Maverick” couldn’t get the job done at the night. Logan failed to deliver on his promise of knocking “Money” out. He was just not up for the task. The Youtuber was not prepared for the fight as he gassed out by the fourth round of the fight.
“The Maverick” grabbed and clinched “Money” for the second half of the fight. Thus making the fight very boring and upsetting for the fans. The supporters expected a lot more action from the two fighters as they had paid a good amount of money for the tickets. But both the fighters failed to deliver on their expectations by only landing 71 punches in the entire fight.
After the fight “The Pretty boy” commented that “Logan Paul would make a great grappler”. However, Logan Paul later clarified in his post-fight conference “Yeah I was grabbing him, I was grabbing him. I’ll do MMA for sure. Cause I’m a good grappler and a wrestler at heart. I think it would be silly for me to not use it in boxing.
