Who actually won the Floyd vs Paul fight?
Mayweather made a cautious and defensive start, refusing to throw frequently and dodging the majority of Paul’s punches. Paul threw a furious flurry of punches toward the conclusion of the first round, but Mayweather’s guard blocked every one of them. Similar to the first round, the second saw Mayweather satisfied with the fight’s leisurely tempo. In the third, he finally upped the ante, starting with some crisp left hooks that sent Paul’s head reeling and mixing in his signature draw counter with the right hand.
Paul began to show signs of exhaustion in the fourth round and took advantage of every chance to use his weight advantage by tying the smaller Mayweather up in the clinch after each exchange. Paul kept trying to neutralize Mayweather’s offense, but he was unable to stop him from controlling the fight’s tempo and landing the cleaner, more potent blows. When it became apparent that he had done enough to escape being stopped, as most had predicted would happen,[9] and that he would live to hear the final bell, Paul began to act cocky toward the end of the eighth and final round.
No winner of the bout was declared after the whole eight rounds.
