  • “The fighters combined to land just 73 punches, with Mayweather landing the majority of them and Paul struggling mightily to find his target,” according to Sporting News. “Once the larger Paul realized that he wouldn’t be able to catch that target, he decided to tie up Mayweather as part of a plan to remain on his feet for the eight rounds. It was a moral victory for the 26-year-old Paul; he’ll go home richer and be able to say he went the distance with an undefeated living legend.”

The fight even drew boos from the crowd because the two boxers held onto each other in the later rounds, delaying any action, according to CNET.
