With a record of 32-10-5, Jeff Mayweather ruled the ring during his younger days and is currently a full-time boxing and MMA trainer. Recently, ‘Quiet Mayweather’ was spotted at a PFL event, where he stood in front of a punching machine, that displayed the highest score of ‘9000’. The cameraman instantly understood the intentions of the 59-year-old trainer.

He asked, “Alright Jeff, the record is 9000. What are you thinking about, 10000?” Mayweather replied, “I’m thinking about 39.” After this, he gears up to throw a heavy right-hand punch. The score lands up at ‘8706’. Well, he tries again, and on the second try, it gets up to ‘8757’.
