In a stunning turn of events, the highly anticipated boxing match between undefeated fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III took a chaotic and disastrous turn. With Mayweather comfortably sitting on the ropes, a smile on his face, the bout resembled more of a WWE Royal Rumble than a professional boxing match. Both fighters continued their relentless trash-talking, disregarding the referee’s attempts to intervene and stop the contest, further fueling the intense animosity between them.
Throughout the fight, Mayweather, who is 46 years old, effortlessly dominated Gotti, the grandson of the notorious mob boss. Gotti grew increasingly frustrated and angry as Mayweather toyed with him, showcasing his superior skills and experience. During the break between the fifth and sixth rounds, the referee issued a warning to Gotti’s corner, threatening to halt the fight if the trash-talking persisted.
Gotti appeared overwhelmed and outmatched throughout the match, with Mayweather’s dominance evident from the beginning. Fortunately, when Gotti attempted to attack Mayweather after the fight was stopped, his punches failed to connect, serving as his most aggressive moment of the night. In contrast, Mayweather remained composed and content, sporting a smile that conveyed his satisfaction.
