Fans were also perplexed at the size difference as Mack was 42 lbs heavier than Kouzi. While he was heavier, he was no match for the experienced kickboxer. Mack was already gassed out by the second round.
At the start of the third round, he was welcomed by a brutal left hook knocking him out.
But, it should be mentioned that it was truly commendable that Mack was brave enough to step into the ring with a far more experienced fighter.
Fans share their thoughts about Jizzy Mack’s performance
The boxing fraternity and fans were left confused by Jizzy Mack’s performance. In fact, a lot of them took to social media to share their thoughts about the same.

The host of ‘Fighting Words and Clobberin Time’ Andreas Hale pointed out that Mack was knocked out by a far smaller opponent.
Jizzy got knocked out by a guy that maybe weighed as much as one of his legs. You know he's never gonna live this down, especially with a face plant. #MayweatherAsakura

Similarly, the staff writer for Bloody Elbow Stephie Haynes also chimed in with a similar statement. And also emphasized that he would not live it down.
Japan continuing its history of freak fights. Still waiting for Bob Sapp vs Mayweather

TMT really should've actually worked with him. He showed respect to his opponent who is an actual kickboxing pro. However his lack of basic techniques is tarnish to the brand imho

However, a few users commended Mack for stepping in the ring with an experienced fighter.
