Floyd Mayweather didn’t even pretend to take his “fight” with Deji seriously today.
Floyd Mayweather spent the bulk of six, two-minute rounds laughing in the face of anyone who paid $35 to watch his exhibition today with Deji, forcing a stoppage in the final round when referee Kenny Bayless decided it was the right time to do that.
Even for an exhibition, this was nothing, as Mayweather played around from the opening bell and didn’t give even the hint of taking this seriously. This was no Chavez vs Arce or even the other exhibitions Mayweather has done. If this was what you’d call “entertaining,” your bar is very low.
“I couldn’t do this without my dancing partner. Deji, you’re a tough competitor. I’m proud of you, keep up the great work,” Mayweather said. “Your brother KSI, he’s a hell of a fighter also. I want him to keep up the great work.”
“It was an early stoppage, I wanted to carry on,” Deji said. He was reminded about 14 times that he just “fought” Floyd Mayweather.
