The Floyd Mayweather boxing record casts an ominous shadow over John Gotti III as they gear up for their August rematch.
Turning pro in 1996 Mayweather’s flawless professional record of 50-0 includes a staggering 27 knockouts, solidifying his place as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Gotti, with a professional record of 2-0-1 KO, is a relative newcomer to the boxing world.
Although his fighting spirit is undeniable, his lack of experience against top-level opponents could prove to be his undoing.
Mayweather’s amateur record, equally impressive with 84 wins and 6 losses, further underscores the experience gap between the two fighters.
Mayweather’s defensive mastery, combined with his precise counterpunching, has confounded countless opponents throughout his illustrious career.
His ring generalship and ability to control the pace of a fight are unmatched.
On the other hands, Gotti’s aggressive style, while entertaining, may play directly into Mayweather’s hands. Leaving him vulnerable to the veteran’s calculated attacks.
Although the rematch is scheduled to be an exhibition, Mayweather’s competitive nature and unblemished record suggest he won’t be taking it lightly. The last time ended in a brawl for instance.
Mayweather is also a promoter these days so expect something of a surprise with him as always.
The outcome appears predictable to some, Mayweather’s experience, technical skills, and defensive prowess are likely to overwhelm Gotti’s raw aggression.
Potentially leading to a disheartening defeat for the younger fighter and a knockout if Mayweather chooses to go for one.
Boxing doesn’t always work like that though. The Floyd Mayweather boxing record while being perfect as a pro came with some close calls.
Expect Gotti III to use unorthodox tactics, shall we say, in this one on August 24th in Mexico city on DAZN.
