Last night in Mexico, fight fans witnessed Floyd Mayweather’s complete domination of John Gotti III in their highly anticipated exhibition rematch. Mayweather showcased his superior skills and experience as he swept all eight rounds, leaving Gotti outclassed and looking amateurish in comparison. While Gotti never seemed seriously hurt, he was clearly no match for Mayweather’s boxing prowess.
The only moment of controversy during the fight occurred in round 2 when Mayweather, displeased with the referee’s involvement, demanded that he be replaced. This led to speculation that Mayweather had effectively fired the referee, adding a dramatic twist to the already one-sided bout. Despite this incident, Mayweather continued to dominate the fight until the final bell.
As Mayweather cruised to his victory, the Mexican crowd began booing in the last few rounds. The lack of knockdowns and notable action left the audience disappointed, highlighting the stark difference in skill level between the two fighters. However, after the fight, Mayweather shared a moment of sportsmanship with Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez, ending the night on a positive note.
While Mayweather’s future in exhibition fights seems secure, the same cannot be said for Gotti III. Being thoroughly beaten and outboxed by Mayweather raises questions about his next steps in the boxing world. As the grandson of an infamous mob boss, Gotti’s future in the sport remains uncertain, leaving fans to speculate about his potential trajectory.
In addition to the Mayweather-Gotti bout, other fights took place last night with varying outcomes. Victor Ortiz faced Damian Coria in a non-judged exhibition match, while Curmel Moton knocked out Victor Vasquez in the first round. Cesar Vaca secured a majority decision victory over Luis Rodriguez, and Aaron Silva stopped Alberto Artiga with a TKO in the third round. Cecilia Rodriguez also emerged victorious, defeating Arlenn Sanchez by unanimous decision. These fights added to the excitement of the evening and showcased a range of boxing talent on display.
