An “enemy for life” Floyd Mayweather has now been forgiven by John Gotti III, grandson of former New York mobster John Gotti. After the melee that erupted following John Gotti III’s disqualification during an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather in June last year, there was bad blood between them for quite a long time. But things have cooled down, and they are now looking to settle the dispute once and for all inside the ring on November 14 in Mexico City, rather than engaging in crude mudslinging on social media.

In an interview with TMZ, Gotti III took a trip down memory lane and narrated the chain of events that happened inside the ring which eventually led to the entourages of both camps rushing into the ring and engaging in a brawl. Furthermore, he revealed his game plan for the rematch against the legendary 50-0 fighter.

Gotti III ties up the loose ends!

In an interview with TMZ, the 2-0 professional fighter shared his perspective on his ill-famed bout with Floyd Mayweather. For the uninitiated, referee Kenny Bayless disqualified him, midway through round 6, for clinching Mayweather, and not adhering to the rules of the bout. This made an angry Gotti III shove the referee and charge at Mayweather while throwing haymakers.

But, the anger was building up in Gotti III from round one. “He made it personal, I didn’t make it personal. You know he came out from the get-go of that first fight. He was on the verbal attack right away you know and Kenny Bayless had no problem with that whatsoever,” he said. The fight was a one-sided domination as an aggressive Mayweather kept peppering him with big shots, all the while shooting insults at him.

Thereafter, he accused the referee of being partial towards Mayweather. “When I started giving it back it became a problem,” Gotti remarked, pointing out that he received warnings for verbally insulting Mayweather, while ‘Pretty Boy’ got away scot-free.

Nonetheless, he stated that things would be different in the rematch. “He [Mayweather] could say whatever he wants to say he’s not going to snooker me again you know,” Gotti asserted.

But, what does Gotti expect Floyd to do in the rematch?

Prepared for all eventualities!

Gotti III hopes that Mayweather comes out swinging like he did in the first fight. Safe to say, he isn’t afraid of the “dog fight”. The New York native’s response would be to “stay in the pocket” and trade punches with him.

“If he comes out the way he did the first fight you know I think I am gonna stay right in the pocket this time and I’m gonna give it as good as I could take,” he said confidently.

What’s more, he won’t be afraid to make adjustments if Mayweather decides to move around and play the usual evasive counter-puncher role.

“Maybe he’ll move and be on his bike a little more I don’t I don’t know but I’m prepared like I said,” Gotti told TMZ.

Hopefully, John Gotti III is “mentally prepared” for the boxing pedigree that a skilled, and undefeated fighter like Mayweather is going to bring into the ring. Will you be watching the fight? Let us know in the comment section below.
