Outside of an odd second round, there was no controversy surrounding the rematch between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III in Mexico City.

The fight went the distance, and if one scored the contest, it would have been a one-sided showcase from the legendary Mayweather.

Gotti came into the fight as focused as ever, promising a knockout. While he landed solid inside shots, Mayweather’s defense, which helped him during his Hall of Fame career, was too smooth. His fast hands were too much for Gotti to handle at various points. 

The fight almost went off without a hitch. The second round saw Mayweather switch the referee out mid-fight. That almost started another brawl between both camps, but things resolved quickly.

Who is John Gotti III?

In the other corner, Goti III, is a Mixed Martial Arts fighter and professional boxer born in 1992.

He is the grandson of one of the mob bosses in New York in the 1980s, John Gotti, but the grandson is far from that criminal side in his family.

He made his MMA debut in 2017, and switched to the world of boxing in 2020, though he has only fought twice as a pro in a ring, and both times he came out with his fist raised.

This is the second time the two will meet in the ring. In 2023 they were set to fight eight rounds of two minutes each, in a fight in which Money Mayweather dominated his opponent, when referee Kenny Bayless surprisingly stopped the fight in the sixth round.

The referee warned both fighters to stop the abusive language, which both fighters ignored, leading Bayless to stop the fight, while chaos ensued over the decision.
