“I’m sorry?”
"If Bruce Lee doesn’t have a gun, it’s Ali in three minutes or less.”

I didn’t see kick boxing I saw a kick boxer limited to boxing.
Big time set up and possibly fake fight.
Mayweather looks like he had like maybe 40 pounds on the kid. The kid was fighting out of his weight class, with minimal boxing experience. Whoever arranged this fight did him no favors.
According to the rules, the kick boxer was not allowed to kick. So it was real stupid for the kick boxer to agree to that. No wonder he got destroyed by Mayweather.
There are distinct levels in boxing. Although unlike other sports, there are no obvious cuts at any except the highest level. There are no minor leagues in boxing, like Single A, Double A, or Triple A. Anyone with a minimal skills who can cut a hole in a towel can find a ring to step into and so become a boxer. A fighter who is a local terror, one who has knocked out dozens of other locals, will wilt in the first two rounds when matched against even a lower ranked fighter. Those journeymen are often humiliated in their turn by contenders, who are themselves beaten by champions in tune-ups.

I did not see that mentioned in the article.
Are you certain about that?
If true, it's hard to believe anyone would pay to see the fight.
On the other hand, Mayweather will be 42 years old next month, so maybe the fight was promoted as the Old Man versus the cocky Kid?
The kid has a lot of heart. Mayweather is just too big, too strong, too talented and too experienced.
Yes. I looked up some other articles. If the kickboxer had kicked, he’d have been fined. One article said the fine would have been a million dollars. This was a boxing match only.
Not the one I remember but still very good.
Never had a problem being bullied but to this day I HATE those who bully others either physically, verbally or emotionally. They deserve their fates.
