The undercard saw the clash of Jarell Miller and Antonio Zepeda. And even though fans had many expectations from this heavyweight fight, a lot of them expressed disappointment when the fight ended.

The fight between the two started on a light note, with both of them being cautious of each other. But eventually, they began exchanging jabs, but it is safe to say that the fans simply didn’t get to see two ‘hearts’ putting it all out in the ring. It should be noted that Miller weighed 42 lbs heavier than Zepeda, which was clearly visible.
The fight did not offer many thrills to the fans, As both the boxer were hesitant to punch each other. And, ‘Big Baby’ being 42 lbs heavier than his opponent did add to his performance, making him slow. And an easier target to hit. Being considerably heavier, Miller lost stamina after the third round of the fight. However, the fight managed to go the distance between the two. And this fight was not the only thing that disappointed the fans about the event.
One fan claimed that Zepeda was not in the mood to fight. They also slammed the fight, calling it “trash.”
Yep that was trash! Zepeda didn't want to fight. #MayweatherGotti
