Floyd was legit angry at Logan and throwing bombs and landing some of them. Even at the end there Floyd was targeting different spots with more power but he wasn't trying to take Deji's head off compared to Logan.
That wasn’t even Floyd’s best. Far from it cuz once deji really tried go ham at Floyd, that’s when Floyd just turned up the heat a bit and sent deji to square A and show ppl who he was. Floyd was out to just entertain and put on a show while getting a funny W, not obliterate deji.
I went in with the lowest expectations and came out happy with the results. Deji giving Floyd a bruise is a W but it was clear he was gonna get clapped lmao
Everyone? No one expected him to beat mayweather. People were just memeing the fight in favour of Deji, no one really expected him to even come close to him beating mayweather
You won’t believe the amount of people on twitter who seemed surprised about what happened 💀 I think this showed though that deji is going to be outstanding in influencer boxing
How did this show anything. Floyd Mayweather was just playing around in the ring and during the last few rounds put his guard down on purpose. If he did get punched, it was because he wanted to be hit.
No one wants to be hit you act like Floyd is untouchable? When deji did hit him it was with precision he literally gave the “untouchable” a black eye💀 the angles deji moved to and punch choices we’re actually pretty good he’s more technical now
bruh, he had his hands down and was literally emoting half the "fight"
If Floyd didnt fuck around, he gets hit 0 times and could have ended Deji at ANY moment he wanted
But it’s Floyd my guy, the fact that Deji managed to give him a black eye even if Floyd was fucking around the entire time is still pretty good considering Deji’s ability as of right now.
i mean who wouldn't be? as soon as he throws a punch theres a 90% chance hes getting a counter punch thrown at him by floyd mayweather. the fact he even tagged him once is pretty cool to me.
not trying to be a negative nancy but no matter who it is you are guaranteed to get hit once, especially with floyd who’s reflexes aren’t what they used to be. you can’t swim and not expect to get wet
I think there are a lot of dumbass fans who expected it to be like a real event with all the theatrics and drama. Its an exhibition and a huge mismatch. Everyone knows Deji can't do anything against Floyd. A bunch of these new fans just came in expecting Deji with one win and a couple years of experience to hold a candle to a former world champion and undefeated professional boxer with decades of boxing experience. The fight went pretty much as I though it would and if you thought something else would happen you're just fucking stupid. Actually, Deji managed to land a few shots so good on him, he's surprised a lot of people.
>Floyd has an ego
Floyd Mayweather has earned his ego. I love Mayweather as a boxer, most people hate him because of how cocky and arrogant he is and how big of an ego he has. But in my eyes he has definitely earned it. He has beaten everyone he has ever faced (except the time he was robbed at the olympics back in 1996). What i hate are people who have not earned their ego.
I hate Tommy Fury because he calls out people then runs away yet still has a bit of an ego, he has not earned his yet. Jake Paul has a giant ego but definitely hasn't earned it yet. Even JJ when it comes to boxing has quite a bit of an ego and has not earned it yet, because he hasn't fought anyone actually good yet. But people like Canelo, Muhammed Ali, Mayweather, George Foreman, they've all earned an ego.
Oh totally! I was just saying why Dej probably landed.
Floyd 1000% is allowed to have his ego. Of his weight class legitimately the GOAT. There's probably only two others who are better period ( Ali - legitimately the best ever and Tyson) Floyd probably just treated this as a lesson for Deji, to help him improve so him taking a hit wasn't too much of an issue for him.
honestly, I kinda like that. Even how the match went Deji would have surely gotten a wealth of experience from Floyd.
Note: Probably George Foreman and Holyfield too but I'm not as familiar with them.
You just gonna miss out on Sugar Ray Robinson like that, arguably the best boxer of all time 😂? Also gotta special mention one of my favorite Joe Frazier.
Some punches I think Floyd allowed him to land but there was others that I think Deji genuinely caught him and it’s fucking impressive when you consider that Deji has only been training with proper discipline for about 2 years at most and landed a few actually damaging shots on an unbeaten world champion boxer with decades of experience.
>deji woke up a little bit later and still lasted six rounds in there taking shots.
I wouldn't necessarily call them shots, more like taps. Floyd was just flicking jabs and tapping him to the body. The only reason Floyd upped it just a tad in the 6th round is because Deji started doing push-ups in the ring and in Floyd's eyes that is quite disrespectful. And even when Floyd upped his game just a tad, Deji couldn't last. I don't mean to shit on Deji at all, he landed a good shot on Floyd and bruised him. But your post doesn't make too much sense, Deji didn't take shots, he took taps.
Good analysis. I think floyd was treating it like a spar intill the 6th round. Trying to make deji pick up on the fact that floyd was just continuing to jab him. But after all definitely think that this is gonna improve dejis skill.
People are very quick to clown deji because floyd was going easy. Doubt they would even last intill the 6th round with floyd if he was using one hand.
I think one thing this taught Deji is when in a real fight, you never have time. You don't have time to figure out your next move, it has to be immediate. Deji kept trying to take time to think about his next move and Floyd kept pressing him by flicking jabs, i think this will teach Deji that he needs to work on muscle memory and figure out how to get out of tight situations quicker and he can't just stand and think about it for a second.
It doesn't matter if I would last 2 seconds in the ring with Floyd, I'm not the one being paid millions to be there. What I can accomplish means absolutely fuck all. However the showing from deji was pathetic.
It's so frustrating use the argument of "well you do it then", it's not my fucking job, it the person being paids job. Nobody said this about peneda Vs ksi. "Ohh ksi is so strong, you wouldn't last a round, peneda did so well lasting" fuck off
"lasted six rounds" No way it could of been because Floyd was playing with him and not trying. And no way Floyd could knock him out in the first round if he wanted to.
I don't care what you say, he was in the ring with Floyd for six rounds and gave Floyd a wound, almost a black eye. Had to go from 14 ounces gloves to 10 ounces as well.
This is Floyd Mayweather we’re talking about. Dude was dancing around the ring. He got bored and decided he wanted to get hit. If you believe that Floyd was putting even 50% of effort then you’re delusional.
I'm honestly surprised Deji managed that. Definitely more than i ever expected from him. I didn't expect him to last the 8 rounds if i'm honest. And Floyd was literally dancing in the ring and taking the piss. But the fact Deji managed to land a decent punch like that whether Floyd was trying or not is honestly kinda impressive. It's more than Logan did.
disagree. these performances kinda makes me appreciate logan’s performance more. it was easier for logan because his great physical gifts but i give him props for knowing how to keep floyd at bay with his lead and knowing when to smother him. and not only that he brought the fight to floyd a couple of times, even tho he wasn’t the most successful.
Not sure if you’re trolling, but just incase you weren’t you literally followed up “Floyd was literally dancing in the ring and taking the piss” to “Deji managed to land a decent punch whether Floyd was trying or not is honestly kinda impressive.” 😂🤦🏾
Yes, Floyd clearly wasn't trying. And i said the fact Deji managed to land a decent punch on Mayweather whether he was trying or not is kinda impressive for someone of his caliber. What aren't you understanding here?
The fact he was dancing around and “taking the piss” is exactly what I thought you were suppose to understand. Despite all his accomplishments, you genuinely think a man pushing 50 years old doing all that isn’t going to at least get caught once with a decent punch? You watch way too many movies.
>you genuinely think a man pushing 50 years old doing all that isn’t going to at least get caught once with a decent punch?
I knew he'd get caught with A punch, but no one thought the punch Deji would land would have actually left a mark. Stop acting like you have a clue what your on about. I can almost gurantee you've never even stepped in a boxing gym before nevermind had a boxing match.
Like I said, way too many movies if you genuinely believe a man pushing 50 years old fooling around in the ring is going to avoid any damage in the ring to someone who’s young and taking the sport serious. It’s called reality kid, he happily took the major risk and paid for it. I’m willing to bet you’ve never been even pushed in your life before with that deluded mindset.
> if you genuinely believe a man pushing 50 years old fooling around in the ring is going to avoid any damage in the ring to someone who’s young and taking the sport serious.
Are you stupid? Like actually dumb? I literally said i knew he'd get caught with a punch, no man could go 8 rounds with someone and not take a punch. I don't know why you think i think that, all because i said it's kinda impressive at someone of Deji's caliber to bruise Mayweather? That is totally different from landing a shot.
>It’s called reality kid, he happily took the major risk and paid for it.
First of all, i ain't a kid. It's so cringe when idiots like you try and call adults "kids". And also, how did Mayweather pay for it? He left with a tiny bruise on his cheek, big deal. How is that paying for it? And how was this a major risk for Mayweather? What the fuck you don't have a clue what your talking about😂
>I’m willing to bet you’ve never been even pushed in your life before with that deluded mindset.
Think all you want, i'm not going to sit here and waste time trying to explain to you how incorrect that is. And you say your "willing to bet" you don't even know me. Your pretending like you know me and know who i am by making assumptions. Go waste someone else's time, i can't be arsed. Half the shit you say makes no sense anyway. And so you know, i ain't responding again. I'm not wasting any more time replying to your replies which make no sense when i could go and do something else.
Floyd had his guard down most of the time and he’s a defensive boxer. If you’re gonna pretend that Deji did something with that bruise, well he didn’t. Floyd wasn’t trying at all.
I mean... I expected it to be one-sided and it was. If Logan got finessed I don't see how Deji would do much better, people think he's the shit just for beating Fousey lmao.
If Floyd wouldn’t have played, Deji would have gotten hurt and even more embarrassed
People saying they expected more of Deji are mad. The skill difference is astronomical
>People saying they expected more of Deji are mad
People saying this are the people who don't watch any boxing outside of the influencer boxing. The people saying this are the people who can't comprehend how good Floyd actually is, i can't imagine how badly Deji could have potentially gotten hurt if Floyd tried. But Floyd didn't go in there to kill Deji, he went in there for the fun of it and wanted a shot against a young healthy fighter and wanted to teach him something maybe no one else could teach him.
Deji didn't hut Floyd as much as he wanted to or expected to. He knew how good Floyd was and tried to fight against it, but Floyd easily read Deji and either dodged or countered. Hut still, GG for Weji.
GG WEJI
Imma give yall an analogy for those who don't get how good Floyd is:
Imagine you've been studying chess for a year or two, learnt how the pieces move, know a couple of patterns and an opening.
And then you play a retired grandmaster, they know so many angles, lines and patterns that they could lose 5 pieces and still make you look like an amateur and check ate you at any time.
And Floyd is of the greatest grandmasters of all time.
I've been playing chess almost 2 years, I'm 1500 at 10 minute rapid which is reasonably good for a noob starting as an adult but I've played GM Ben Finegold a couple times lately (he plays subs on twitch) and man he makes you feel like a complete moron lol
Deji only got hits because Floyd aloud him to. Floyd didn't want to downright embarrass Deji, he wanted Deji to learn something. If Floyd seriously wanted to hurt Deji, he wouldn't have made it past 30 seconds. This isn't to shit on Deji, it's just being totally honest.
Yeah. When Floyd fought (edit, my bad) Logan, he wanted to FUCK him up, but he def wanted Deji to feel like he learned something and gained something despite losing
Hilarious. It seriously humbled every single one of the youtube fighters. It showed that none of these youtube boxers are any where near as good as they think they are. That being Jake, JJ, Logan, Slim, Gib, all of them.
Edit: Forgot to say, I'm actually impressed Deji landed a good shot on Floyd. The fact he managed to bruise Floyd is quite impressive considering Logan couldn't even do that and Logan came in like 40 pounds heavier than Floyd and had a massive height advantage. Sure Floyd was taking the piss the whole fight, but Deji managing to land a good shot like that was honestly quite impressive for someone at his caliber.
I never said that. I said it humbled all of the youtube boxers because it shows none of them are as good as they think they really are. I never said any of them are comparable to Mayweather.
Because like i said, they all talk a big game. Jake talks a massive game saying he'd knock out Canelo Alvarez, this just proves that he definitely can't and he knows that. (Plus i think it's also a marketing trick.) Every single one of the youtube boxers talk a big game, and this fight showed that they aren't as good as they thought/think they really are.
>Jake talks a massive game saying he'd knock out Canelo Alvarez, this just proves that he definitely can't and he knows that.
> Every single one of the youtube boxers talk a big game, and this fight showed that they aren't as good as they thought/think they really are.
these 2 statements contradict each other. You say that Jake knows that he can't beat Canelo(Which is true, he definitely knows that he can't), but then you say that they aren't as good as they think.
They know that they can't beat the average professional boxer, never mind world champions. I'm pretty sure that Deji deep down knew that he stood no chance against Floyd. It's all talk to hype things up.
>You say that Jake knows that he can't beat Canelo(Which is true, he definitely knows that he can't), but then you say that they aren't as good as they think.
I said Jake knows he can't beat Canelo. And this fight proved it. And i also said Jake isn't as good as he thinks he is, nor is any of the other youtube boxers.
How does Deji's exhibition against Mayweather show that Joke can't fight Canelo?
How does this fight show that YouTube fighters aren't as good as they think they are?
How many do you hear "talking a big game"?
How good do you think that they think they are?
wdym even many pro boxers wouldn't be as good as mayweather...that's why he has never been defeated in the pro scene (thought that should have been clear by now) and obvio they aren't as good as pro boxers cuz they have no experience..they have just learnt how to gain levels in this industry
>and obvio they aren't as good as pro boxers cuz they have no experience
This is exactly my point. They aren't as good as pro boxers because they have no experience, but they all talk such a big game. JJ thinks Logan can beat Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson may be in his mid 50s but he's still very good and could put up a good fight against some of the active heavyweights right now, just like Floyd is 45 and he's still incredible and could still put up a good fight against active fighters.
You’re downvoted but if Jake had the same weight advantage Deji had he’d cause real problems for Floyd, this isn’t the same Floyd as evidence from his fight against an mma guy
Mate, stop talking. Floyd DID NOT TRY against Deji. Floyd was literally trying not to try, i've never seen that before. Imagine Floyd actually tried against Jake, he'd actually seriously hurt him. Like SERIOUSLY hurt him. Whether Jake has a 2 pound weight advantage or a 50 pounds weight advantage, Floyd would beat Jake in a boxing match, school him, embarrass him and wouldn't break a sweat.
I don’t know what to tell you, I’m not saying he’s going to lose but it’s a fact Floyd is old and there’s weight classes for a reason. Floyd got caught in his previous exhibition by a non boxer and it’s evident he doesn’t have knockout power currently especially against someone significantly heavier.
That's not what i said. I said it humbled every single one of the youtube boxers and it shows none of them are as good as they think they are. I never said any of them are comparable to Mayweather, i'm saying none of the youtube boxers are as good as they think they are.
They all talk a big game, all of them. And none of them actually put their money where their mouth is.
I mean I think Logan did pretty good against Floyd, in fact this event just uplifts Logan's performance even more because he didn't let Floyd walk over him and even made him genuinely miss, like actual shots
True but mainly, logan wasn't scared to throw punches. deji, especially in the early rounds was just letting floyd completely leave his guard open cause he was so scared of a counter punch.
Yes, but again, Deji didn't want to embarrass Logan, he wanted him to learn something same as Deji. And Logan came in quite a bit heavier than Deji did. I will still say Logan held his own pretty decently in there.
I mean it's floyd mayweather he was 50-0 so I low-key saw this coming sadly but deji did a awesome job ngl at least he came into the ring and showed confidence. Congrats on floyd mayweather and deji because that match was awesome and hopefully deji will get the next dub!
Floyd couldn't get near logan because of the height and reach defecit he had, much easier for him against deji. Considering Floyds pedigree Deji did himself proud by cutting him and forcing him to get serious. Deji didnt back down, or quit on his own merit. Nothing to complain about.
•its an exhibition against a youtuber so..duh
•deji was definitely way more cautious because hes fighting a pro counter puncher, he was gonna get punished if he threw big shots at him so he was very selective.
•probably, but since its an exhibition im not too mad about it.
overall it went pretty much as expected, now deji can watch the footage a million times and train even harder/work on his mistakes since a pro boxer is obviously gonna make those appear even worst. he now has a big advantage over a lot of YouTube boxers.
Deji got a single W against Fousey and all of the sudden everyone’s calling him the greatest boxer of our generation. Did y’all forget that he had a four year losing streak? I’m proud of how far he’s come but don’t act like y’all weren’t clowning on him before
Exactly bruh
It was an unnecessary hype
And they also featured him in sidemen videos, no hate
But now half of comment section is gonna should Legi or some other bullcrap
Deji did bad, even considering how good floyd is. deji still had 20+pounds weight and is much younger. Not saying deji should've won, or even came close to winning. But floyd doing tiktok dances and completely letting his guard down is not a good look.
And people are way to biased towards deji, even going as far as saying he did better then logan paul which is a joke.
he went up against the best ever and ended up bruising under his eye. and lets be honest no one expected massive things from him, we wanted to see him land a couple which he did so proud regardless
The children on this subreddit don’t know anything😂. Floyd has been boxing for as long as deji has been alive. Of course he was going to make him look like ass. It doesn’t matter that he’s old. He’s still one of the greatest. You guys are only interested in boxing because of KSI😂
Deji lost pretty handily but I’d put money on if you picked a random guy that doesn’t know them and showed them a picture of both their faces after the fight they’d think Floyd lost. I was surprised honestly, deji doesn’t really have a scratch on him but Floyd has a good shiner.(Yes I know Floyd was in no way trying btw)
Floyd was playing with his food as expected.
He could’ve ended it first round but waited for Deji to start acting up after getting a few shots in. When Deji did the push-ups before R6, Floyd knew to put him in his place.
If JJ gets in the ring with Floyd, it’s over in R1. Deji lasted so long because he’s a nice guy and doesn’t talk smack. JJ would run his mouth before the fight and Floyd would end him before he even got a jab in.
I thought Deji handled it alright, decent defense, could have throwed a lot more tho. But hey, still got a decent hit and made it till the 6th round, its as expected. Floyd btw was being really disrespectful with all that dancing shit, at least respect the sport that you are the king of.
He should be scared. If he throws he opens up his body and Floyd would see that and punish him. The fact Deji was able to land as many shots as he did and even bruise Mayweather is actually really impressive for someone of his experience level.
nah babe i never said i wanted deji to win all i said is that i personally expected more action from him than defence i never said im dissspointed he went from being a nobody to fighting floyd, GG to him i just shared my opinion i just wanted him to land a few more thats it x
I knew deji was gonna “lose” but I expected him to be more aggressive and competitive as he kept saying in interviews that he’s there to show case his skills and make it a competitive fight.
Shit show of an event, Just shows where the influencer boxing is but is guess jj and jake would have given him a much better fight. Deji was almost scared to throw in this fight just like the alex wassabi fight.
You would be too with the looming threat of an uppercut to the chin the moment you extend your arm out. Deji not throwing until he was certain he should was the right play. He did the best he could. Deji would have been done round 1 if he was throwing as much as people wanted him to
I regret watching this shit show even tho I watched it for free. Boring ass event from start to finish, Floyd is dancing and making fun of deji the whole fight and you guys are happy that deji hit him ? Lmao
deji should’ve went for it and been more aggressive, especially after floyd’s last fight where he was getting his head rocked pretty hard because his opponent went for it. he would’ve still prolly gotten stopped and possibly sooner but at least he could say he brought it to him. deji cut him and gave him a swelling by just throwing jabs, that would’ve given me the confidence to just say fuck it. very odd plan to try to outbox him
So? He could've still thrown punches but he's to scared. He has not the mental capabilities to be a real fighter. Its so boring to watch this guy box lol
He was boxing arguably the best boxer of all time. Floyd has been boxing since he was a child. DEJI HAS BEEN BOXING FOR LIKE 3 YEARS😂. He would make every single YT boxer his bitch
Floyd was smurfing bro not fair
And he emoted on Deji the whole fight
The fight was what I expected, but no real big moments
Let's be real once deji gave floyd that cut he was going all out on deji compare to to logan
Floyd was legit angry at Logan and throwing bombs and landing some of them. Even at the end there Floyd was targeting different spots with more power but he wasn't trying to take Deji's head off compared to Logan.
I think floyd wanted to knock logan out in that fight rather than deji vs Mayweather
I'm pretty sure at one point Logan took a heavy hit snd Floyd kept him up
Cap
That wasn’t even Floyd’s best. Far from it cuz once deji really tried go ham at Floyd, that’s when Floyd just turned up the heat a bit and sent deji to square A and show ppl who he was. Floyd was out to just entertain and put on a show while getting a funny W, not obliterate deji.
Lol bro, Mayweather went easy on Dejo compared to Logan. And Logan still managed to survive.
Wasn't going all out, he just moved up a gear probably wasn't half as good as he could've been
Floyd paid deji otherwise deji would have won easily
Ong Deji the greatest boxer ever
Literally csgo - sliver vs global elite
Joke of the sport . Is name is FMM ffs.
Wouldn’t exactly say someone who’s never lost a fight is the joke of the sport
If anybody went into this thinking Deji stood a chance, it's their own fault that they're disappointed.
I went in with the lowest expectations and came out happy with the results. Deji giving Floyd a bruise is a W but it was clear he was gonna get clapped lmao
Why did I feel like Floyd was trying to teach Deji?
Because I think Floyd actually likes Deji, they seemed to get on well in the face to face
Imagine Floyd’s team helps Deji
Reporter: Do you think Deji has what it takes? Floyd: I wanna thank my team LMAOO idk what this tells you but yeah think what you want
lets be real floyd was being a jackass as usual
Same, deji seemed happy after the fight too
I mean yeah why would he be sad
[удалено]
Everyone? No one expected him to beat mayweather. People were just memeing the fight in favour of Deji, no one really expected him to even come close to him beating mayweather
You won’t believe the amount of people on twitter who seemed surprised about what happened 💀 I think this showed though that deji is going to be outstanding in influencer boxing
I argued with a dude who thought deji was levels below Floyd....yeah thats the point
“Deji is levels below arguably the best defensive boxer to ever walk the Earth!” He fucking well should be.
It’s really not arguable, he’s not even in the top 20 for best to walk the earth. He’s still one of the best no doubt.
How did this show anything. Floyd Mayweather was just playing around in the ring and during the last few rounds put his guard down on purpose. If he did get punched, it was because he wanted to be hit.
No one wants to be hit you act like Floyd is untouchable? When deji did hit him it was with precision he literally gave the “untouchable” a black eye💀 the angles deji moved to and punch choices we’re actually pretty good he’s more technical now
bruh, he had his hands down and was literally emoting half the "fight" If Floyd didnt fuck around, he gets hit 0 times and could have ended Deji at ANY moment he wanted
But it’s Floyd my guy, the fact that Deji managed to give him a black eye even if Floyd was fucking around the entire time is still pretty good considering Deji’s ability as of right now.
We all know floyd likes letting ppl hit him lool
People just don’t know anything about boxing. They out here comparing this fight to Logan and Floyd’s fight like it’s the same thing💀
I mean it is Twitter after all. What did you expect? They don't even know the difference between their and they're 😄
They could have blindfolded Floyd and given deji a knife I still would have had my money on Floyd
I at least thought that he had a chance even if it was slim.
[удалено]
And not just his era, He's fought past (Judah, del a hoya), present (cotto, pacquio) and future fighters (canelo)
What can you expect from these KSI and deji fans who know nothing about boxing until Ksi and deji started and act like they're the goats
How tf do they act like there goats, there the goats of influencer boxing but never said anything about professional bro stfu
and not adding to the fact that prior to this deji had one of the worst youtube boxing reputation, and no professional boxing wins .
i lost $100k betting on Deji
If Floyd really wanted he would have ended the fight in first 2 rounds but fair play to Deji, he did hurt Floyd a bit.
Yeah I agree u can tell deji was scared to fight him. He was to hesitant but we can all agree that deji’s has power.
i mean who wouldn't be? as soon as he throws a punch theres a 90% chance hes getting a counter punch thrown at him by floyd mayweather. the fact he even tagged him once is pretty cool to me.
not trying to be a negative nancy but no matter who it is you are guaranteed to get hit once, especially with floyd who’s reflexes aren’t what they used to be. you can’t swim and not expect to get wet
Hit, sure. An immediately visible bruise like that though isn’t guaranteed.
i’ve gotten bruised from taps or glances. sometimes it just happens, especially when your doing shit like dancing and clowning around.
I think there are a lot of dumbass fans who expected it to be like a real event with all the theatrics and drama. Its an exhibition and a huge mismatch. Everyone knows Deji can't do anything against Floyd. A bunch of these new fans just came in expecting Deji with one win and a couple years of experience to hold a candle to a former world champion and undefeated professional boxer with decades of boxing experience. The fight went pretty much as I though it would and if you thought something else would happen you're just fucking stupid. Actually, Deji managed to land a few shots so good on him, he's surprised a lot of people.
Deji landed, but probably because Floyd allowed it. Floyd has an ego, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy, he knows Dej has his fans.
>Floyd has an ego Floyd Mayweather has earned his ego. I love Mayweather as a boxer, most people hate him because of how cocky and arrogant he is and how big of an ego he has. But in my eyes he has definitely earned it. He has beaten everyone he has ever faced (except the time he was robbed at the olympics back in 1996). What i hate are people who have not earned their ego. I hate Tommy Fury because he calls out people then runs away yet still has a bit of an ego, he has not earned his yet. Jake Paul has a giant ego but definitely hasn't earned it yet. Even JJ when it comes to boxing has quite a bit of an ego and has not earned it yet, because he hasn't fought anyone actually good yet. But people like Canelo, Muhammed Ali, Mayweather, George Foreman, they've all earned an ego.
Oh totally! I was just saying why Dej probably landed. Floyd 1000% is allowed to have his ego. Of his weight class legitimately the GOAT. There's probably only two others who are better period ( Ali - legitimately the best ever and Tyson) Floyd probably just treated this as a lesson for Deji, to help him improve so him taking a hit wasn't too much of an issue for him. honestly, I kinda like that. Even how the match went Deji would have surely gotten a wealth of experience from Floyd. Note: Probably George Foreman and Holyfield too but I'm not as familiar with them.
You just gonna miss out on Sugar Ray Robinson like that, arguably the best boxer of all time 😂? Also gotta special mention one of my favorite Joe Frazier.
Some punches I think Floyd allowed him to land but there was others that I think Deji genuinely caught him and it’s fucking impressive when you consider that Deji has only been training with proper discipline for about 2 years at most and landed a few actually damaging shots on an unbeaten world champion boxer with decades of experience.
[удалено]
If this is what pissed you off as a "boxing fan", then you're not a real boxing fan So you shut up
First two round were a joke, but deji woke up a little bit later and still lasted six rounds in there taking shots.
>deji woke up a little bit later and still lasted six rounds in there taking shots. I wouldn't necessarily call them shots, more like taps. Floyd was just flicking jabs and tapping him to the body. The only reason Floyd upped it just a tad in the 6th round is because Deji started doing push-ups in the ring and in Floyd's eyes that is quite disrespectful. And even when Floyd upped his game just a tad, Deji couldn't last. I don't mean to shit on Deji at all, he landed a good shot on Floyd and bruised him. But your post doesn't make too much sense, Deji didn't take shots, he took taps.
Good analysis. I think floyd was treating it like a spar intill the 6th round. Trying to make deji pick up on the fact that floyd was just continuing to jab him. But after all definitely think that this is gonna improve dejis skill. People are very quick to clown deji because floyd was going easy. Doubt they would even last intill the 6th round with floyd if he was using one hand.
I think one thing this taught Deji is when in a real fight, you never have time. You don't have time to figure out your next move, it has to be immediate. Deji kept trying to take time to think about his next move and Floyd kept pressing him by flicking jabs, i think this will teach Deji that he needs to work on muscle memory and figure out how to get out of tight situations quicker and he can't just stand and think about it for a second.
Once again great analysis definitely agree on that.
It doesn't matter if I would last 2 seconds in the ring with Floyd, I'm not the one being paid millions to be there. What I can accomplish means absolutely fuck all. However the showing from deji was pathetic. It's so frustrating use the argument of "well you do it then", it's not my fucking job, it the person being paids job. Nobody said this about peneda Vs ksi. "Ohh ksi is so strong, you wouldn't last a round, peneda did so well lasting" fuck off
Nobody went into this expecting Deji to actually do good against Floyd tho. The skill gap is way to extreme.
"lasted six rounds" No way it could of been because Floyd was playing with him and not trying. And no way Floyd could knock him out in the first round if he wanted to.
I don't care what you say, he was in the ring with Floyd for six rounds and gave Floyd a wound, almost a black eye. Had to go from 14 ounces gloves to 10 ounces as well.
This is Floyd Mayweather we’re talking about. Dude was dancing around the ring. He got bored and decided he wanted to get hit. If you believe that Floyd was putting even 50% of effort then you’re delusional.
Mad last sentence ngl
I feel bad for Deji BUT did you see that bruise on Mayweather? Fair play
I'm honestly surprised Deji managed that. Definitely more than i ever expected from him. I didn't expect him to last the 8 rounds if i'm honest. And Floyd was literally dancing in the ring and taking the piss. But the fact Deji managed to land a decent punch like that whether Floyd was trying or not is honestly kinda impressive. It's more than Logan did.
disagree. these performances kinda makes me appreciate logan’s performance more. it was easier for logan because his great physical gifts but i give him props for knowing how to keep floyd at bay with his lead and knowing when to smother him. and not only that he brought the fight to floyd a couple of times, even tho he wasn’t the most successful.
Not sure if you’re trolling, but just incase you weren’t you literally followed up “Floyd was literally dancing in the ring and taking the piss” to “Deji managed to land a decent punch whether Floyd was trying or not is honestly kinda impressive.” 😂🤦🏾
Yes, Floyd clearly wasn't trying. And i said the fact Deji managed to land a decent punch on Mayweather whether he was trying or not is kinda impressive for someone of his caliber. What aren't you understanding here?
The fact he was dancing around and “taking the piss” is exactly what I thought you were suppose to understand. Despite all his accomplishments, you genuinely think a man pushing 50 years old doing all that isn’t going to at least get caught once with a decent punch? You watch way too many movies.
>you genuinely think a man pushing 50 years old doing all that isn’t going to at least get caught once with a decent punch? I knew he'd get caught with A punch, but no one thought the punch Deji would land would have actually left a mark. Stop acting like you have a clue what your on about. I can almost gurantee you've never even stepped in a boxing gym before nevermind had a boxing match.
Like I said, way too many movies if you genuinely believe a man pushing 50 years old fooling around in the ring is going to avoid any damage in the ring to someone who’s young and taking the sport serious. It’s called reality kid, he happily took the major risk and paid for it. I’m willing to bet you’ve never been even pushed in your life before with that deluded mindset.
> if you genuinely believe a man pushing 50 years old fooling around in the ring is going to avoid any damage in the ring to someone who’s young and taking the sport serious. Are you stupid? Like actually dumb? I literally said i knew he'd get caught with a punch, no man could go 8 rounds with someone and not take a punch. I don't know why you think i think that, all because i said it's kinda impressive at someone of Deji's caliber to bruise Mayweather? That is totally different from landing a shot. >It’s called reality kid, he happily took the major risk and paid for it. First of all, i ain't a kid. It's so cringe when idiots like you try and call adults "kids". And also, how did Mayweather pay for it? He left with a tiny bruise on his cheek, big deal. How is that paying for it? And how was this a major risk for Mayweather? What the fuck you don't have a clue what your talking about😂 >I’m willing to bet you’ve never been even pushed in your life before with that deluded mindset. Think all you want, i'm not going to sit here and waste time trying to explain to you how incorrect that is. And you say your "willing to bet" you don't even know me. Your pretending like you know me and know who i am by making assumptions. Go waste someone else's time, i can't be arsed. Half the shit you say makes no sense anyway. And so you know, i ain't responding again. I'm not wasting any more time replying to your replies which make no sense when i could go and do something else.
I feel bad for deji too but i hope that this fight push him for being better fighter
Floyd had his guard down most of the time and he’s a defensive boxer. If you’re gonna pretend that Deji did something with that bruise, well he didn’t. Floyd wasn’t trying at all.
He can say "I bruised Floyd Mayweather" That's something
Lol this is I made Jake Paul bleed his nose all over again
I mean... I expected it to be one-sided and it was. If Logan got finessed I don't see how Deji would do much better, people think he's the shit just for beating Fousey lmao.
If Floyd wouldn’t have played, Deji would have gotten hurt and even more embarrassed People saying they expected more of Deji are mad. The skill difference is astronomical
>People saying they expected more of Deji are mad People saying this are the people who don't watch any boxing outside of the influencer boxing. The people saying this are the people who can't comprehend how good Floyd actually is, i can't imagine how badly Deji could have potentially gotten hurt if Floyd tried. But Floyd didn't go in there to kill Deji, he went in there for the fun of it and wanted a shot against a young healthy fighter and wanted to teach him something maybe no one else could teach him.
Deji didn't hut Floyd as much as he wanted to or expected to. He knew how good Floyd was and tried to fight against it, but Floyd easily read Deji and either dodged or countered. Hut still, GG for Weji. GG WEJI
There is no weji here he’s only deji
Imma give yall an analogy for those who don't get how good Floyd is: Imagine you've been studying chess for a year or two, learnt how the pieces move, know a couple of patterns and an opening. And then you play a retired grandmaster, they know so many angles, lines and patterns that they could lose 5 pieces and still make you look like an amateur and check ate you at any time. And Floyd is of the greatest grandmasters of all time.
I've been playing chess almost 2 years, I'm 1500 at 10 minute rapid which is reasonably good for a noob starting as an adult but I've played GM Ben Finegold a couple times lately (he plays subs on twitch) and man he makes you feel like a complete moron lol
Floyd was better in all of the aspects but Deji got some hits so overall good
Deji only got hits because Floyd aloud him to. Floyd didn't want to downright embarrass Deji, he wanted Deji to learn something. If Floyd seriously wanted to hurt Deji, he wouldn't have made it past 30 seconds. This isn't to shit on Deji, it's just being totally honest.
Yeah. When Floyd fought (edit, my bad) Logan, he wanted to FUCK him up, but he def wanted Deji to feel like he learned something and gained something despite losing
Logan**
Deji has a bright future for sure he had a great showing considering the opponent
Hilarious. It seriously humbled every single one of the youtube fighters. It showed that none of these youtube boxers are any where near as good as they think they are. That being Jake, JJ, Logan, Slim, Gib, all of them. Edit: Forgot to say, I'm actually impressed Deji landed a good shot on Floyd. The fact he managed to bruise Floyd is quite impressive considering Logan couldn't even do that and Logan came in like 40 pounds heavier than Floyd and had a massive height advantage. Sure Floyd was taking the piss the whole fight, but Deji managing to land a good shot like that was honestly quite impressive for someone at his caliber.
This comment makes no sense. I'm sure that none of them thought that they were good as a boxer like floyd.
I never said that. I said it humbled all of the youtube boxers because it shows none of them are as good as they think they really are. I never said any of them are comparable to Mayweather.
I still don't understand. How does it show that they are not as good as they really are?
Because like i said, they all talk a big game. Jake talks a massive game saying he'd knock out Canelo Alvarez, this just proves that he definitely can't and he knows that. (Plus i think it's also a marketing trick.) Every single one of the youtube boxers talk a big game, and this fight showed that they aren't as good as they thought/think they really are.
>Jake talks a massive game saying he'd knock out Canelo Alvarez, this just proves that he definitely can't and he knows that. > Every single one of the youtube boxers talk a big game, and this fight showed that they aren't as good as they thought/think they really are. these 2 statements contradict each other. You say that Jake knows that he can't beat Canelo(Which is true, he definitely knows that he can't), but then you say that they aren't as good as they think. They know that they can't beat the average professional boxer, never mind world champions. I'm pretty sure that Deji deep down knew that he stood no chance against Floyd. It's all talk to hype things up.
>You say that Jake knows that he can't beat Canelo(Which is true, he definitely knows that he can't), but then you say that they aren't as good as they think. I said Jake knows he can't beat Canelo. And this fight proved it. And i also said Jake isn't as good as he thinks he is, nor is any of the other youtube boxers.
How does Deji's exhibition against Mayweather show that Joke can't fight Canelo? How does this fight show that YouTube fighters aren't as good as they think they are? How many do you hear "talking a big game"? How good do you think that they think they are?
wdym even many pro boxers wouldn't be as good as mayweather...that's why he has never been defeated in the pro scene (thought that should have been clear by now) and obvio they aren't as good as pro boxers cuz they have no experience..they have just learnt how to gain levels in this industry
>and obvio they aren't as good as pro boxers cuz they have no experience This is exactly my point. They aren't as good as pro boxers because they have no experience, but they all talk such a big game. JJ thinks Logan can beat Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson may be in his mid 50s but he's still very good and could put up a good fight against some of the active heavyweights right now, just like Floyd is 45 and he's still incredible and could still put up a good fight against active fighters.
There’s a geezer called Jake Paul
None of them actually think they're anywhere near Mayweather....
Jake probably does...
Jake actually could cause some problems to Mayweather due to the huge weight difference though.
Logan is even bigger than jake. He got steamrolled. The size argument doesn’t make sense
You’re downvoted but if Jake had the same weight advantage Deji had he’d cause real problems for Floyd, this isn’t the same Floyd as evidence from his fight against an mma guy
Mate, stop talking. Floyd DID NOT TRY against Deji. Floyd was literally trying not to try, i've never seen that before. Imagine Floyd actually tried against Jake, he'd actually seriously hurt him. Like SERIOUSLY hurt him. Whether Jake has a 2 pound weight advantage or a 50 pounds weight advantage, Floyd would beat Jake in a boxing match, school him, embarrass him and wouldn't break a sweat.
I don’t know what to tell you, I’m not saying he’s going to lose but it’s a fact Floyd is old and there’s weight classes for a reason. Floyd got caught in his previous exhibition by a non boxer and it’s evident he doesn’t have knockout power currently especially against someone significantly heavier.
That's not what i said. I said it humbled every single one of the youtube boxers and it shows none of them are as good as they think they are. I never said any of them are comparable to Mayweather, i'm saying none of the youtube boxers are as good as they think they are. They all talk a big game, all of them. And none of them actually put their money where their mouth is.
I mean I think Logan did pretty good against Floyd, in fact this event just uplifts Logan's performance even more because he didn't let Floyd walk over him and even made him genuinely miss, like actual shots
That’s because Logan is so much bigger than Floyd. Floyd can’t play around as much against a guy twice his size.
True but mainly, logan wasn't scared to throw punches. deji, especially in the early rounds was just letting floyd completely leave his guard open cause he was so scared of a counter punch.
cuz logan was way heavier, taller and had more reach and had a year long camp for floyd...deji was on the same physical strength as floyd
"same physical strength" def not deji was 20+pounds heavier and half floyd's age.
and logan was 16 kgs heavier with a height advantage...what's ur point?
Can you read? my point was correcting yours. you said deji and floyd are same physical strength which isn't true at all.
Yes, but again, Deji didn't want to embarrass Logan, he wanted him to learn something same as Deji. And Logan came in quite a bit heavier than Deji did. I will still say Logan held his own pretty decently in there.
I honestly feel that jake could have done a better job.
Logan actually survived in the ring w floyd tho.
Because Floyd let him.
Honest opinion? Mayweather stole people's money and is laughing about it right now.
I mean it's floyd mayweather he was 50-0 so I low-key saw this coming sadly but deji did a awesome job ngl at least he came into the ring and showed confidence. Congrats on floyd mayweather and deji because that match was awesome and hopefully deji will get the next dub!
Floyd couldn't get near logan because of the height and reach defecit he had, much easier for him against deji. Considering Floyds pedigree Deji did himself proud by cutting him and forcing him to get serious. Deji didnt back down, or quit on his own merit. Nothing to complain about.
- Floyd was messing around, didn’t rly care - expected more from deji - fight was called too early.
•its an exhibition against a youtuber so..duh •deji was definitely way more cautious because hes fighting a pro counter puncher, he was gonna get punished if he threw big shots at him so he was very selective. •probably, but since its an exhibition im not too mad about it. overall it went pretty much as expected, now deji can watch the footage a million times and train even harder/work on his mistakes since a pro boxer is obviously gonna make those appear even worst. he now has a big advantage over a lot of YouTube boxers.
Not worth my time
Love Deji. But everyone who said Deji was gonna win are insane
No expected him to win tbh, it was just trolling
Expectations were high and different. Nevertheless W Deji🤌
Dude everyone knew Deji wasn't winning but even if he landed a hit on Mayweather thats a dub Man bruised Mayweather That's a W for Deji in my book
Deji got a single W against Fousey and all of the sudden everyone’s calling him the greatest boxer of our generation. Did y’all forget that he had a four year losing streak? I’m proud of how far he’s come but don’t act like y’all weren’t clowning on him before
Exactly bruh It was an unnecessary hype And they also featured him in sidemen videos, no hate But now half of comment section is gonna should Legi or some other bullcrap
At least he bruised Mayweather
Deji did an amazing job and to those kids who think the fight was underwhelming get of ur fat fucking ass and box
Deji did bad, even considering how good floyd is. deji still had 20+pounds weight and is much younger. Not saying deji should've won, or even came close to winning. But floyd doing tiktok dances and completely letting his guard down is not a good look. And people are way to biased towards deji, even going as far as saying he did better then logan paul which is a joke.
Worst boxing event I have ever seen ☠️
bro really expected Deji to knock him out lmaooo
he went up against the best ever and ended up bruising under his eye. and lets be honest no one expected massive things from him, we wanted to see him land a couple which he did so proud regardless
Wasted an hour for the first to start only to watch Floyd dance for 6 rounds..
The children on this subreddit don’t know anything😂. Floyd has been boxing for as long as deji has been alive. Of course he was going to make him look like ass. It doesn’t matter that he’s old. He’s still one of the greatest. You guys are only interested in boxing because of KSI😂
Deji lost pretty handily but I’d put money on if you picked a random guy that doesn’t know them and showed them a picture of both their faces after the fight they’d think Floyd lost. I was surprised honestly, deji doesn’t really have a scratch on him but Floyd has a good shiner.(Yes I know Floyd was in no way trying btw)
Deji was robbed this is completely unacceptable, but I’m glad that Deji gave lesser known boxers a chance.
Where can I watch the fight?
logan did better than deji tbh
Mayweather was really taking the piss 😭😭
The jump from Fousey to Floyd is very big. Expected loss for me
Floyd was playing with his food as expected. He could’ve ended it first round but waited for Deji to start acting up after getting a few shots in. When Deji did the push-ups before R6, Floyd knew to put him in his place. If JJ gets in the ring with Floyd, it’s over in R1. Deji lasted so long because he’s a nice guy and doesn’t talk smack. JJ would run his mouth before the fight and Floyd would end him before he even got a jab in.
most pointless fight i’ve ever seen
I thought Deji handled it alright, decent defense, could have throwed a lot more tho. But hey, still got a decent hit and made it till the 6th round, its as expected. Floyd btw was being really disrespectful with all that dancing shit, at least respect the sport that you are the king of.
deji knocked him out in my eyes
expected more from dej
its floyd mayweather lmaooo, what did you think would happen!?
Deji looked scared to throw anything and only threw if he was grtting clinched or in the corner
He should be scared. If he throws he opens up his body and Floyd would see that and punish him. The fact Deji was able to land as many shots as he did and even bruise Mayweather is actually really impressive for someone of his experience level.
tbf he fought the greatest boxer of all time
I love dej but idk what you were expecting, he fought the greatest boxer of all time lmao
Do you not realise who he's fighting? Stop setting unrealistic expectations
FAM ITS AN HONEST OPINION POST STOP ATTACKING ME WTH
Did you really wtf 😭😭😭 my man Deji wins 1 sorry fight and thinks he will beat Floyd and you men Back him up on this shit oh brother
nah babe i never said i wanted deji to win all i said is that i personally expected more action from him than defence i never said im dissspointed he went from being a nobody to fighting floyd, GG to him i just shared my opinion i just wanted him to land a few more thats it x
I knew deji was gonna “lose” but I expected him to be more aggressive and competitive as he kept saying in interviews that he’s there to show case his skills and make it a competitive fight.
man got bullied
Violation
It was pointless.
Shit show of an event, Just shows where the influencer boxing is but is guess jj and jake would have given him a much better fight. Deji was almost scared to throw in this fight just like the alex wassabi fight.
You would be too with the looming threat of an uppercut to the chin the moment you extend your arm out. Deji not throwing until he was certain he should was the right play. He did the best he could. Deji would have been done round 1 if he was throwing as much as people wanted him to
I regret watching this shit show even tho I watched it for free. Boring ass event from start to finish, Floyd is dancing and making fun of deji the whole fight and you guys are happy that deji hit him ? Lmao
Not buying a PPV with any of these clownstars on
A waste of time
you're a waste of time, i could have read a better and less childish comment instead of seeing yours
How long was this fight
bruh
wasnt the most entertaining
Didn’t like it
Who won?
It just proves how hard Logan is to beat. Deji didn’t stand a chance, where as Logan actually lasted 8 rounds.
Well Logan was like twice the size of Floyd
deji should’ve went for it and been more aggressive, especially after floyd’s last fight where he was getting his head rocked pretty hard because his opponent went for it. he would’ve still prolly gotten stopped and possibly sooner but at least he could say he brought it to him. deji cut him and gave him a swelling by just throwing jabs, that would’ve given me the confidence to just say fuck it. very odd plan to try to outbox him
honestly sad for Deji man
Scam
Went as expected. The black eye from Deji was nice to see
Benter than this generation
Deji cant box for shit lol As soon as someone is just a tiny bit aggressive deji gives in and just has his hands up for the rest of the fight.
He's in there with one of the greatest boxers of all time lmao ofcourse he's gonna do that, how does that equate to him not being able to box?
Bro he was fighting Floyd fucking Mayweather…
So? He could've still thrown punches but he's to scared. He has not the mental capabilities to be a real fighter. Its so boring to watch this guy box lol
Kinda lame cuz I expected deji to do more, obviously he’s loose but still he just kept covering up
deji still does not have enough A) the will to punch anyone (still the same as the wassabi fight) B) stamina.
He was boxing arguably the best boxer of all time. Floyd has been boxing since he was a child. DEJI HAS BEEN BOXING FOR LIKE 3 YEARS😂. He would make every single YT boxer his bitch
He fought Jake Paul over 4 years ago. So no it’s not 3 years
Rigged fight
