    He looked like he wasn’t used to getting punched.

    Watch some of the other fights this kid has had. He has walked through MUCH harder shots.
    I guarantee that if I roundhouse kick you in the head, vs a Mayweather punch with gloves on... you would enjoy my kick to the head much less.

    looks like he is doing everything he can to avoid ending up going broke.

    The kid never took a shot to the temple from a real boxer. And so his legs were gone.

    I’m thinking Mayweather is out of the game so long now that the kid is gonna rough him up amd make on his promise to knock him out.

    If you believe for a moment that this was anything but a PR stunt you are delusional. If this was suppose to do something for his career it wouldn't have been a boxing match, something he hasn't done and it wouldn't be at 4 weight class higher. Anyone with a brain that can add 2+2 would know this was a scam fake fight.

    Here are some hint for you:
    The kid is a kickboxer that stands 5'5" and fights at 125. Let me repeat the kickboxer part.
    This is his first ever boxing match against an opponent that outweighs him, has a longer reach, stronger, and a professional boxer.
    That first knockdown was as good as any WWE stuff I have ever seen.

    You can call it a PR stunt. I am disputing it was a work. If we are to believe this was a work then basically: "RIZIN paid a 50-0, 5 division world champion to beat their top star in less than 3 minutes, on their biggest show of the year"

    Do you not see how ridiculous that sounds. The fight has hurt Tenshin and the company.

    A work would have meant Mayweather puts tenshin over. Not the other way round. The home fighter doesn't get beat in worked match.

    You don't see how ridicules it is for them to match him in a boxing match at 147 weight. You seriously going to argue about this being legit when the kid isn't even a boxer? Japan is know for its corruption in combat sports. Even their national sport was rocked by the Yukuza infiltration and fix fights.

    Who knows what was said behind close door but I guarantee there was some agreement between the two camp. Maybe it was to let the kid look decent for 5 or 6 rnds and Floyd just said screw it. Either way anyone with a brain knows there was no other outcome since this is a boxing match. If you think this was real, LMAO, more power to you and we just don't see it the same way.

    Yeah...Though there's a good chance that the two of 'em just spend the time staring at one another and not doing anything. It is an exhibition, after all.
