“He’s Sinking to New Lows”: Massive Brawl Between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III Sparks Outrage in Boxing World, Referee Slammed for His Actions

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III just finished their extraordinary exhibition bout. The result? The bout was waved off by the referee during the 6th round of the matchup. Throughout the fight, Mayweather delivered what he promised – pure unadulterated entertainment. Much like his other exhibition bouts, Mayweather’s skill level appeared to be too high above Gotti’s. From the get-go of the fight, it was clear who had the upper hand. Moreover, ‘Money’ Mayweather even appeared to be playful with Gotti as he landed punch after punch on Gotti in the starting round.

This even led the commentators to wonder if the fight will go the distance. After all, it didn’t, however, for whole other reasons than what the commentators speculated at the time. Throughout the fight, Gotti appeared to be holding back from throwing punches and only found his bravado towards the later stages of the fight. Moreover, he also got punished twice by Floyd for getting distracted and looking at the referee in the middle of the fight.

He took two solid punches to his face for his mistake. Amid the frustration, the referee had seen enough, as he stopped the fight after being unable to separate the two fighters. The bout ended as the fighters refused to listen to the referees’ instructions about trash-talking.

This led to Gotti attacking Mayweather, and soon after all hell broke loose. Both Gotti and Mayweather’s team went at each other. However, it was clear that Mayweather’s team had a bigger number advantage and Gotti’s team was squished in the corner. Mayweather had a triumphant smile on his face as he sat on the top of the corner pad.
