No scandal and no winner. Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti. Boxing evening results in Mexico City
Last night at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, a boxing event took place that, while lacking title fights, attracted attention due to a notable rematch between the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III, the son of a famous New York gangster.
The bout went the full eight rounds, ending without a declared winner, as it was an exhibition match, with a victor only to be named in the event of a knockout. During the fight, Gotti expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's performance, particularly after what he perceived as a punch to the back of the head in the second round, and requested a change in the officiating.
Overall, the fight was relatively smooth and concluded peacefully, with both fighters even embracing after the match.
This was in stark contrast to their first encounter last year, which ended in controversy. In that fight, Gotti was disqualified in the sixth round for rule violations and insulting Mayweather. Unhappy with the decision, Gotti pushed the referee and attacked Mayweather, leading to a brawl on the ring as both fighters' teams rushed in, resulting in a mass melee.
In total, 15 bouts took place during the event, and here are the results of the main fights from the evening.
