Fight fans should not fret over the health of the sport after seeing Sunday's contest go the full eight rounds
On Sunday night in Miami Gardens, Florida, Floyd Mayweather outboxed Logan Paul over eight rounds in an exhibition bout that, by rule, had no official winner. For all the expectations of a wild clash between the boxing legend and the YouTube star, the fight looked like most of Mayweather's fights have: Mayweather proving his elite skills can overcome any challenge placed in front of him. Paul, to his credit, survived some clean shots and even got in a few punches of his own while managing to go 24 minutes with one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. To that end, it was a victory of sorts for the 26-year-old. Much was made before the fight of what, if any, meaning the contest had in a larger context. Did it speak to boxing's place in 2021? Are YouTubers the future of the sport? And are Mayweather exhibitions a staple of the near future of combat?More Related News
