“He Didn’t Shy Away, He Kept Moving Forward”: Joe Rogan Lauds 21-Year-Old Who Got Beat Up by Skilled Floyd Mayweather in Viral Sparring Footage

Floyd Mayweather, the former five-weight division champ, has not been to a full-fledged training routine since his last fight against UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017. And still, the man’s ring IQ and reflexes after 5 years are praiseworthy. It’s unbelievable, ‘The Pretty Boy’ is still unmatchable. Recently, his 2-round sparring video with a young YouTuber Jarvis on the internet electrified the boxing world. The latter appeared good, but Mayweather’s command in the ring made him look like a novice. The undefeated former champ toyed with him. He jabbed the hell out of the 21-year-old boy while dancing and talking to people standing at the ringside.

In the film, the aging Mayweather boasted how great he was. For him, it was the preparation for his big money exhibition, which is set to be staged in the UK on February 25 at the O2 Arena in London where he will face Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers who came in on the short notice. Earlier, Mayweather announced that he will go head-to-head with a Muay Thai fighter, Liam Harrison, from Leeds. But unfortunately, it didn’t work out as the latter pulled out due to injury.

Finally, ‘The Best Ever’ is going out to put on a showdown and, interestingly ahead of this, his sparring video is drawing attention. In the latest episode of his Podcast, the decorated UFC commentator Joe Rogan talked about it and admired Mayweather’s skills. Along with that, he lauded the 21-year-old who showed a lion’s heart. Despite getting punished, the YouTuber kept Mayweather engaged.

What did Joe Rogan say about the YouTuber who sparred with Floyd Mayweather?

Rogan sat down with the American mixed martial artist Paul Felder and gave his thoughts on Mayweather’s boxing skills. It is so because in general fighters get slow with age, but it’s not the same with Mayweather. The young fighter was half his age and has no response to his speed.

Talking about the sparring clip, Rogan said, “Playing with them and moving away from them. Whoever this guy is, I guess he’s a YouTuber. The kid had an excellent account of himself because even though Floyd was tagging them, he didn’t shy away. He kept moving forward. He was just.”

Next, he threw light on Mayweather’s understanding of his opponent’s game plan, which makes him one of the best defensive fighters of all time. Let’s see how well he features himself in the upcoming exhibition.
