The Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather fight has been one of the most hyped-up events in recent memory, with the boxing match being nothing if not a spectacle. While the odds were overwhelmingly in Mayweather's favor, anything was possible. Now, however, the fight is in the cards, but who won the Paul vs. Mayweather fight?
It's important to note that the fight doesn't have a winner in the traditional sense. The rules for the Paul vs. Mayweather fight state that this match isn't officially sanctioned, so the result won't directly affect either fighter's record. Paul had a decided advantage in terms of weight, height, and reach, but Mayweather is a god-tier boxer with a perfect record, despite facing off against other famous boxers.
Paul came out confidently, donning his $150,000 Pokemon card on a gold chain. Ultimately, though, Paul was no match for Mayweather's experience, even considering the size difference between the two fighters. However, Paul did perform better than some had assumed, getting in some good hits against Mayweather. Paul's strategy largely involved using his weight and size advantages, but it didn't quite matter in the end. In the end, the fight went through all eight rounds, so neither Floyd Mayweather nor Logan Paul "won" the Paul vs. Mayweather fight.
In the first round, Mayweather absorbed a surprising number of punches, which largely came in the form of a rapid barrage from Paul. However, Mayweather didn't let a particularly large number of them make a dent, a technique that the fighter has mastered in his decades of experience. It's an area where Paul's height and weight came into play, but Mayweather's reputation as a defensive boxer showed.
Previously, Logan Paul faced off against KSI, a match that he ultimately lost. That was a messier bout, seeing two, largely untrained, boxers face off against each other in the ring. This time around, Paul was in better shape, but still largely outmatched by Mayweather. At the end of the day, the fight result is a bit underwhelming, though the Paul vs. Mayweather results can still be chalked up as a win for Paul and Mayweather, for the payday if nothing else.
Paul has garnered a bad reputation over the course of his social media career, owning largely to stunts that he's pulled over the years. For instance, Paul's most controversial moment took place in the Japanese "Suicide Forest," where Paul filmed – and uploaded – footage of a hanging corpse, though YouTube didn't ban Paul. That was met with immediate, harsh criticism, which still follows Logan Paul to this day. Perhaps Paul will have better luck in the ring in the future.
