Anderson Silva vs. Floyd Mayweather is the fight to make, says coach

Adam D Martin - September 17, 2021

A boxing match pitting Anderson Silva vs. Floyd Mayweather is the fight to make, suggested Silva’s longtime boxing coach Luiz Dorea. Silva is coming off of a first-round KO win over Tito Ortiz, this coming after a split decision win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. For his next fight, Silva has been connected to a number of potential opponents, including the Paul brothers. But as far as Silva’s coach Dorea goes, the fight to make isn’t Silva vs. Paul, but instead, the fight to make is Silva vs. Mayweather, as the coach told AG Fight in a new interview regarding his pupil Silva.

Jake Paul claims Floyd Mayweather "needs me more than I need him"

Cole Shelton - August 20, 2021

Jake Paul recently revealed a hit list but one name not on it was Floyd Mayweather, who boxed his brother Logan in an exhibition. In the lead-up to the fight, Jake Paul and Mayweather had some back-and-forth with words and at a media day, he stole Mayweather’s hat. That caused a brawl to happen and after that, many expected they would eventually fight. However, for Paul, he says Mayweather fighting his brother proved he wouldn’t fight him.

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.

McGregor (22-6 MMA) and Poirier (28-6 MMA) squared off in a rubber match on Saturday night, this after splitting their first two encounters. The pair had initially collided in a featherweight bout at UFC 178 in September of 2014, with the Conor McGregor emerging victorious by way of first round knockout. Then, in their second contest at UFC 257 (this time at lightweight), ‘The Diamond’ was able to exact his revenge by stopping the Irishman with punches in the second round.

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.

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.

Henry Cejudo slams Floyd Mayweather for his performance against Logan Paul: “Imagine what an Olympic gold medalist would do to a guy who lost to a YouTuber”

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.
