After Floyd Mayweather dominated John Gotti III for six rounds, both their camps got into a massive brawl.
Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather dominated John Gotti III, grandson of the infamous mob boss, in an exhibition match this past weekend that ended in a massive brawl between both camps. Mayweather outclassed Gotti III until the bout came to an end in the sixth. What would ensue next was a crazy confrontation between both fighters’ camps.
One of the most dominant fighters in boxing’s long history, Floyd Mayweather has done it all in the ring. Winning world titles in multiple weight classes, Mayweather has displayed his incredible boxing acumen time and again throughout his career. He would eventually amass an impressive 50-0 professional boxing record. While the feat has been accomplished before, Mayweather was able to defeat the world’s best boxers during his era and tenure, setting him apart from the others.
On the other side of the exhibition stage, John Gotti III is a professional fighter in his own account, participating in a number of mixed martial arts contests in the past. While no one will confuse him for Conor McGregor, much less Mike Tyson, Gotti III has some experience in professional fighting which granted him the opportunity to face Floyd Mayweather this past weekend. If his name sounds familiar it’s because he is the grandson of the infamous mob boss John Gotti.
Exhibition and Massive Brawl
As for the exhibition match itself, Floyd Mayweather dominated John Gotti III from bell to bell. Throughout the bout, Mayweather showcased his in-ring intelligence humiliating Gotti III throughout the bout. Even with his flight experience, Gotti III didn’t stand a chance as Mayweather unleashed an aggressive onslaught from the very first round.
Unable to mount any consistent office of his own, John Gotti III would instead resort to trash-talking during the bout. With Floyd Mayweather coming forward with a steady diet of punches, Gotti III would continue to verbally assault the legend. Veteran referee Kenny Bayless brought an end to the bout in the sixth round due to the trash talk. Dissatisfied with the result, Gotti III would try to hit me with her after the fight was already over. This sparked a major brawl to break out between both camps.
Fortunately, for everyone involved, no one was severely injured, and both teams were separated. You can see highlights of the bout and the ensuing brawl below.
Floyd Mayweather will likely continue to do these exhibition bouts for the foreseeable future. Earning an absurd amount of money and dominating less-than-worthy opponents has become a viable business strategy for the 46-year-old retired professional boxer. As for John Gotti III, he may likely continue his pro boxing journey or perhaps make a return to MMA after this showing.
