Boxing News Floyd Mayweather Jr Fights On May 14

Boxing News Floyd Mayweather Jr Fights On May 14th. Floyd Mayweather Jr will fight in an eight-round exhibition match in Dubai against a fighter named Don Moore next month. The 45-year-old Mayweather Jr will face Moore on the helipad in Dubai. It’s not clear why Mayweather chose the less-known Moore as his opponent over the retired, well-known boxer who would attract interest. Boxing Prediction, with the fight taking place in Dubai, maybe Mayweather feels okay if he fights a good opponent. It’s a bit surprising that Floyd would choose to fight the completely unknown. There are so many ex-boxers of Mayweather’s age who might be open to fighting him. Again, there will be risks involved in Mayweather fighting a former elite boxer.

This is an international sport; thus, he is up against an unknown fighter with a record filled with ham & egger types of opposition. Mayweather’s opponent, Don Moore, is reportedly in his 40s and hasn’t fought since 2016. His career spanned from 1999 to 2016, but sadly, he’s never fought a world-class opponent. He basically fought obscure opposition with a poor record. MMA fighter Anderson Silva will take on Bruno Machado on the bottom card. Also on the undercard is former two-division world champion Badou Jack against an opponent still to be determined. Badou, 38, has struggled recently since suffering back-to-back losses to Marcus Browne and Jean Pascal in 2019. This will be Mayweather’s first fight since his exhibition bout against YouTuber Logan Paul June 6. Then in a battle that has not been announced, the winner.

Mayweather Is Old

It was a forgotten fight that involved a lot of containment and loud ridicule for lack of action. It’s unclear what fans expect from Mayweather and Paul. Mayweather is old now and doesn’t want to fight an opponent who could possibly beat him. Some boxing fans have criticized Mayweather for continuing to fight at his age, but he loves the sport. Mayweather is the equivalent of an old boxer who can’t leave the sport even though his skills have eroded. It’s great that Mayweather can still make millions in boxing for his show. He hasn’t committed a similar kill in the last five years for the big pay he got for his 2017 boxing match against UFC star Conor McGregor. At Mayweather’s age, he’s probably too old to fight one of the superstar UFC fighters because they might beat him in a boxing match.

Mayweather worked hard against Paul and looked older than his chronological age. Rocky Marciano broke the record of one of the most popular boxers in boxing history. He held a 49-0 record from 1956 to 2017 when Mayweather broke it, it brought both good and bad results for him. Whoever decided Mayweather to break records and retire by beating Ireland’s Connor “Notorious” McGregor, an MMA champion who has never boxed, was wrong. Mayweather holds an exhibition after McGregor’s fight in Japan. Rumors have been made about Mayweather’s return to the ring for several years, but it is doubtful at the age of 45. Marciano underwent training three years after retiring when Floyd Patterson lost his title to Ingemar Johansson of Sweden.
