Topic: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 - page 11. (Read 10834 times)

Logan Paul has started putting out a lot of boxing content including a recent video where he fights four of the Gronkowski brothers at the same time and manages to get the best of each one. I am hoping and I believe that Logan is going to surprise some people against Mayweather. He has clearly been putting in the work to become a better boxer and I think it is going to show. I’m still hoping for a KO by either side, but I think Logan will most likely lose by decision.

The kind of training Logan did is nothing compared to the kinds of training Mayweather did back when he was still active in his professional career, and also, the experience of Mayweather is the key factor why he will win this fight easily, if the result is the opposite, then I believe the fight is getting rig for a purpose which would benefit Mayweather more.

Agreed on that, by and large, regarding both experience and footwork Mayweather is superior of Logan. However one have to take into account their age gap. This 9-rounds fight won’t be an easy walk for Mayweather. I would bet on Logan, provided that there is no bias on the part of those who will judge the coming fight.

I don't actually see that this fight will reach 9 rounds if it's not Mayweather dictating the tempo. It will only reach 9 rounds if Logan will avoid to engage and he will just run in the ring while Mayweather will hunt him all night.

This might be the first time on seeing Mayweather is the one hunting eh? Most of his fights this man is way too evasive in the way that its a bit irritating with that fighting style
but the fact that he wont be undefeated if not because of his style so its understandable.

Round 9 for it to last? No it wont but tendency for it to happen if they would set out the fight to last long but Im sure that it would be boring since punches
weren't meant to be that serious.

2-3 rounds I guess would be enough if it would be taken seriously or even Round 1 I guess. hehe

I wouldn't pay too much attention to edited clips Logan Paul puts out. He's not going to put out a video of him getting knocked out or struggling to stay upright as he runs out of juice, so he's just trying to hype up the fight and give the critics something to discuss. I'd just take it as propaganda from him but I don't think the fight is going to be the walkover people think it's going to be for Mayweather. I expect him to win but wouldn't surprise me if it goes the distance or Logan manages to make it to the later rounds but Mayweather will outbox him. The weight/size difference and age are all in Logan's favour though so Mayweather just needs to do what he does best and dodge the big shots and hope he gets tired.

If anything, and Logan is probably aware of this. Mayweather will want to hurt Logan more due to the antics. Yeah, some of this is likely to build the fight, as every other fighter tends to do. Although, I do tend to think that Mayweather is getting sick, and tired of the "childish" actions being taken, and will want to prove a point. So, if anything this probably reduces the chances that Logan can win, since Mayweather will want to make an example out of him rather than coast along in the fight.

Mayweather was much calmer in the build up against Conor. He didn't really say anything of significance, and although there was some funny remarks probably nothing Mayweather has heard before. Although, this time there's actually things being taken from him (His hat), and the fact that they keep doing little niggley things like untying is shoe laces.

If Mayweather has let a couple of kids get into his head from some childishness then he can't be that great of a fighter. If you let this sort of stuff bother you then it's just welcoming more of it from them and others. Trashtalking works both ways though: to try sell the fight and get an advantage psychologically. If you can truly annoy someone or make them angry before they've stepped foot in the ring it can lead to recklessness and fighters losing their cool and that's an easy way for an upset to happen. If the Paul's have geniuly annoyed or hurt him then this is only an advantage for them.

You got to feel for Floyd. He thought this was going to be his typical fight, where he takes a few backhanded comments, but wins the fight in a few rounds. Boy was he wrong with this one, bet he's absolutely hating having to deal with Jake. Not so much with Logan.

Exactly, it seems that the table has turn now. And that kind of antics being thrown at Floyd, LOL.

I know this is all the sell the fight, and its definitely working. However, I do think Mayweather is getting a little sick, and tired of this despite him knowing its to sell the fight. I don't see him taking it easy like I initially thought.

Yes, because he is not used to this kind of selling the fight, it's more of trash talk, but no confrontation in public. If there is one, not like this being pulled on him. And maybe this is the first time that we have seen someone getting into Floyd's skin.

Because he has not expected this to happen, but there are fighters who promote a fight so hard that results in hurting anybody, Conor did worse than this in UFC fight promotion but he was not able to do this in boxing as Floyd already what Conor can do. let's just move on to this incident, and it should not change our expectation that Logan Paul will never have a chance of beating Floyd.

Its true that even a fan of Logan Paul wont really believe that they would have the chance on winning this one.

I agree with that, however, I think even if they don't believe Logan will win, that doesn't mean that they will not pay for the PPV to watch, some with money will be interested and they are willing to pay to watch this fight. At least both will make millions because Floyd has never failed to make big money in boxing, especially in exhibition fights.

He definitely knows how to antagonize his opponents, and after all Jake probably does want to get a fight wither Mayweather after the Logan fight, since its big money, and lets be honest that's all these two brothers really care about.

Jake Paul did everything he could to make another fight with a high profile opponent but Floyd Mayweather was asking him to sign the dotted lines so that he could face both of these fighters on the same night and after the Logan paul fight you will see more call outs and other promotion events to make a Jake Paul fight a big deal and they are good at hyping fights ......

Can't blame them, it's their job to hype the fight, if we care about this fight, then maybe we become a victim of the hype. They can make money from PPV, that's where the major income will come but I doubt they'll make their target, the promotion is so obvious, people will not fall for that.

Very true, even a fan of Logan Paul would not believe that he can beat Floyd.

Its no denial that these kind of actions are part of their job to make hype of the fight and make more bucks with that and its true that they can really make more money with that.

And now that the fight is fast approaching then they would really be managing with these kind of shows for them to spark out some interest.

Its true that even a fan of Logan Paul wont really believe that they would have the chance on winning this one.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

I just read about the incident where Mayweather has threathened the Logan brothers over the issue of the hat. Mayweather I think is very professional in and out of the ring and in my opinion is not really into pranks or minor shenanigans being committed at him. So that is why he got really pissed when that happened. And the Logan brothers said that they now have people seeing them or like bodyguards who are protecting them because of that threat. The brothers think that Mayweather is a very influential person and that he can pull strings against the brothers.

I don't think Mayweather has to threaten them over that hat when in fact Paul already got a black eye. If the rumor is true then why not reserve that on their fight instead? If Floyd want him dead let that ring be the venue and not over some threats I don't think that's manly at all.

I have never seen someone that was reported injured seriously during an exhibition fight, maybe the worse one I saw was when Logan Paul put Nate Robinson to the canvass and the guy fall a sleep, but I guess he is okay after that, unlike Saunders where he has to undergo surgery after he got injured by a heavy punch of Canelo.

You have a point.

It's like the same as other matches that we used to match and seemed to be scripted. But we'll see how both of them will box inside the ring a month from now.

An exhibition match doesn't mean its a scripted wrestling match. Both of these fighters are going to want to win. Mayweather has his perfect unbeaten record to preserve and LP will want to win for obvious reasons. Paul is the underdog so has nothing to lose but Mayweather has a lot of pride and a huge ego so a loss would be a huge embarrassment to him not to mention tarnishing his legacy. They both seem to have developed a dislike of each other as well so I don't think either of them are going to take it easy and go into this like it's a sparring session.

I wouldn't hope for it. logan paul is fighting one of the best fighter. the only way this fight would be entertaining is if Mayweather can knockout logan paul in the first round.

I don't consider Floyd as a best fighter to be honest, his fights are more on wearing out the opponent and they aren't that bloody compared to other boxers in his division. It will be entertaining that it will be a 1st round knockout but when it doesn't go that way, I am sure that it will be frustrating.

Did anyone else notice during the press conference when Mayweather was either talking or just holding the mic up to his face, Logan Paul's little brother was untying his shoe laces? I'm not going to lie, I'm not a massive fan of him, but that's quite funny. He definitely knows how to antagonize his opponents, and after all Jake probably does want to get a fight wither Mayweather after the Logan fight, since its big money, and lets be honest that's all these two brothers really care about.

You mean this one?

Yeah, maybe Floyd give him a free pass with this one, but he already take notice of this childish prank from the two. But when he pulled his "Gotcha Hat" Floyd felt disrespected in front of millions so he needs to do something about it, resulting in a brawl.

I don't think that Floyd get offended as you have said, he even tie it again.

But probably this is the first time that Floyd saw this act on his boxing career. In boxing it's more of a trash talk, but here, just a prank, like what they are known for as Youtube sensationalist. So let's see the fight between Logan Paul and Floyd, this could have more drama and all for the money.

it's sometimes new though that Floyd becomes the not so annoying kid and the two are the antagonist. but i got to say these two Pauls got balls.
if this isn't an act or if this opponent is just a Mexican, not a second Floyd's fist is going to fly to the face of Logan's brother, he can't even bend to untie a lace. its a good show though and makes Floyd's personality better, good PR.
