Cole Shelton - August 20, 2021

Jake Paul explains why Tyron Woodley training boxing with "greedy guy" Floyd Mayweather is a "disadvantage"
Adam Martin - August 15, 2021
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul explained why Tyron Woodley training boxing with Floyd Mayweather is actually a “disadvantage” for his rival. Paul takes on Woodley on August 29 in Cleveland, Ohio in what marks Paul’s fourth professional boxing match and Woodley’s debut in the sport. It is expected to be one of the biggest combat sports events for summer 2021, and both men have been training hard for the fight. As part of his training camp, Woodley has been working with the legendary boxer Mayweather in an attempt to gain more boxing skills before the big fight against Paul. But if you ask Paul, working with Mayweather may ultimately prove to be a disadvantage for Woodley, as the former Disney star explained in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
Logan Paul says he would KO Floyd Mayweather in boxing rematch: "If I fight Floyd again, I promise I will knock him out"
Adam D Martin - July 15, 2021
YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul believes he would knock out the legend Floyd Mayweather if they ever have a rematch inside the boxing ring. Paul and Mayweather met last month in an eight-round exhibition boxing match that went the distance. Since it was just an exhibition fight, the bout didn’t count on either fighters’ professional boxing record, so it was more of a sparring match than an actual boxing match. But even though Paul would have lost a decision had there actually been judges scoring the fight, the YouTube sensation believes that he learned a lot from his first encounter with Mayweather and believes he has what it takes to beat him in a rematch.

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather trolled former opponent Conor McGregor following the broken leg he suffered in the main event of UFC 264. McGregor lost to Dustin Poirier via first-round TKO (doctor stoppage) in the main event of this past Saturday’s UFC 264 pay-per-view card. The Irishman apparently had a pre-existing injury coming into the bout, according to his coach John Kavanagh, and whatever it was, it appeared to be re-aggravated during the fight when McGregor’s kick was blocked by Poirier’s elbow. Not long after that, McGregor collapsed and then got finished. The stoppage has been made into a meme by plenty of fans and now even Mayweather is taking part in the fun, as he took to his social media to poke fun at his former rival.

Floyd Mayweather couldn't knock out Logan Paul because he was "too big," says uncle
Adam D Martin - July 4, 2021
Floyd Mayweather couldn’t knock out Logan Paul in their recent exhibition boxing match because he was “too big,” says uncle Jeff Mayweather. Mayweather, who is universally regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, fought Paul for eight rounds in an exhibition bout in June in Miami. The fight was entertaining at times, but it didn’t produce the highlight-reel knockout that fans were hoping for given the skill gap between Mayweather and Paul. But while Mayweather wasn’t able to get the finishing blow, it wasn’t for a lack of trying, said his uncle on the Champ and the Chump.

Adam Martin - June 27, 2021
New video footage shows that YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul told Floyd Mayweather to “take it easy” during their exhibition boxing match. Paul and Mayweather met on June 6 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida in an eight-round exhibition match between the popular YouTube star and the boxing legend.

Since it was just an exhibition bout, there were no judges, so there was no official winner or loser of their boxing match.
Video appears to show Floyd Mayweather holding up Logan Paul after hurting him in boxing match
Adam D Martin - June 10, 2021
A video appears to show boxing legend Floyd Mayweather holding up Logan Paul after hurting him in their boxing match last weekend. Mayweather met Paul in the main event of this past Sunday’s Showtime PPV event. “Money” entered the fight as a massive favorite to win the exhibition bout, as Paul didn’t have anywhere close to the experience that the legend had. That being said, Paul was still able to go the full eight rounds with Mayweather. Although Mayweather clearly would have won had there been judges scoring the bout, just the fact that Paul was able to go the full either rounds is a win in itself. But according to a video that is floating around on the internet, it’s possible that this fight could have ended inside the distance a lot sooner.

Adam D Martin - June 7, 2021
YouTuber KSI reacted to the Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match, suggesting that boxing math means he’s the best boxer in the world. KSI and Paul previously fought twice in boxing. The first time they met was in a white-collar boxing match in August 2018, with the fight being scored a majority draw after two of the ringside judges scored it a tie and one had it for KSI. The two then rematched in a professional boxing match in November 2019, with this time KSI taking home the win by split decision. Although Paul is still adamant to this day that he did enough to defeat KSI in their rematch, the judges scored it for KSI, and his pro boxing record still stands at 1-0.

Adam D Martin - June 7, 2021
Former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo slammed boxing legend Floyd Mayweather for his performance against Logan Paul. Mayweather went the full eight-round distance with Paul on Sunday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, during their special exhibition boxing match. It wasn’t the most exciting fight as there was a lot of hugging and Mayweather seemed to be almost playing with his food and carrying Paul instead of finishing him with punches. Indeed, Paul even admitted in his post-fight interview that he wondered if Mayweather carried him to the distance. Either way, it was far from the best performance we’ve seen from Mayweather, although it’s worth noting again that it was an exhibition fight that doesn’t really matter.
