Floyd Mayweather knocked Tenshin Nasukawa out in the opening round as their big-money fight turned into a farce.
Kickboxing star Nasukawa was left crying in his own corner after being sent tumbling to the canvas three times in the first two minutes of the fight on New Year’s Eve in Saitama, Japan.
Mayweather, 41, boasted about earning $9 million dollars to take on Japan’s golden boy — and he collected his money with minimum fuss after making his opponent look foolish.
When the first bell sounded the unbeaten five-weight class boxing champion strolled out with a grin on his face as his 20-year-old opponent took to the center of the ring.
The American, who in the hours before the contest posted a video on Instagram advertising his strip club, then showed his disdain as he pawed out his hand and failed to throw a single punch for the opening 30 seconds.

Video at source.
Kick boxing ain’t boxing. Plus Mayweather had pounds and height on him
A kickboxer takes on a boxer in a fight where he cannot kick. What did he think would happen?
That was fun.
How does one get to be considered a world level talent at 20, with little record of high level competition?
Oh man.
That was like watching a flea attack a bear.
There are a lot of videos where people in other fighting arts have tried to take on American boxers — even old boxers. All end in tears/sleep for the non-boxer.
But there are also videos of non-fighters taking on MMA fighters. Those idiots are lucky to be alive.
This is a lot like a knife fighter taking on a boxer in the ring - without his knife.
That video lead me to ‘cocky boxers who get destroyed’. Pretty good.
Rung his bell
“A kickboxer takes on a boxer in a fight where he cannot kick. What did he think would happen?”

I don’t believe it would have mattered if the kickboxer could have kicked.
“But there are also videos of non-fighters taking on MMA fighters. Those idiots are lucky to be alive.”
There was a former MMA fighter who had a show on cable. He would find people who had been horribly bullied and set their bullies up in a fight with an MMA fighter. He had rules like the MMA guy couldn’t punch or kick to the bullies heads and things but it was pretty funny.
Those bullies would come out to the cage acting cocky and talking trash. Before the first round they were usually out cold or crying.
The person they had been bullying was on a bleacher with the host screaming for the fighter to rip the bullies body apart. Hilarious.
Can’t remember the host or the shows name but it was pretty fun.

Thank you for that link.
Wow!
Floyd made it look like child’s play... Because it was.
“Bully Beatdown host Jason “Mayhem” Miller”
That’s the show and guy!
I remember one show a bully actually got a decent punch on the fighter and the fighters next move was a kick to the head that darned near decapitated the guy. Fight was called.
The bully did later say he had learned his lesson.
