I don’t think you realize who you are talking about. Mayweather isn’t that kind of fighter, and never was. This was exactly the kind of victory anyone who knows anything about boxing was predicting.

This is the best written analysis of any sporting event I’ve ever read on Deadpan. And its easily the best analysis on this big con of an event. Well done Daniel.

Floyd Mayweather is a mirage, an oasis that evaporates before your eyes as you get too close.
