Fans are voicing their doubts and displeasure with Floyd Mayweather’s boxing methods under the direction of new coach Crystal Thomas as excitement for their rematch against John Gotti III grows.
Commentary on social media is rife with claims that the undefeated boxer’s recent training sessions have not impressed the fans, raising questions about his level of readiness for the upcoming match. The focus now shifts to Mayweather’s unusual coaching decision and how it might affect his performance in the eagerly anticipated rematch.
Details on Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti III rematch
After a brawl ended their first bout, Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III will now square off in a boxing ring. In June, Mayweather and Gotti engaged in an exhibition fight inside the ring. The two competitors squared off in Sunrise, Florida, and their fight seemed doomed from the outset after it was postponed due to a brawl between the men’s entourages outside the ring.
After all the drama subsided, Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III squared off for six rounds, during which “Money” proved why he is regarded as one of the all-time great boxers. The 46-year-old controlled the bout and danced around Gotti until the referee intervened and waved it off.
As both Mayweather and Gotti attempted to pick up where they left off, their rivalry intensified even after the final bell. Later, on social media, Gotti—a member of the New York City crime family would claim to have “marked” Floyd Mayweather for life.
