First,
All due respect to Paul for his endurance alone. In boxing, endurance sets aside the real from the phony. And Paul was no phony. I thought for sure that Mayweather would gas him out by the 4th or 5th and even knock him out due to that.
With that said, it was literally a light heavyweight vs a middleweight. I don't discredit Mayweather for not being able to take him down. Also the age was a factor.
I am excited to see Paul in a professional fight. I hope he schedules a pro fight and I would pay to see that. I no longer see him as a gimmick. He is serious and his stamina is impressive.
I'd also pay to see him fight his brother.
50.00 was affordable and it was entertaining. The undercards were great and my only knock is that this was scheduled on a GD mother freaking Sunday!. That's blasphemy in the boxing world. Friday or Saturday fight nights. I was floored that this fight was relegated to a Sunday.
Agree with that sentiment. It's what happened in the fight with Floyd/McGregor. Conor got totally gassed by round 7 and basically couldn't stand on his own by round 10. It was more about him TKOing himself than Mayweather doing it. Paul look like he got a bit gassed early on, as one would expect with a non-experienced boxer, but was also quick to catch his second wind which carried him the rest of the way. McGregor is just the type who never seems to catch a second wind. He has one and when it's gone, it stays gone.
I think people took this fight way too seriously and failed to give any thought to the 35+years of boxing experience Floyd had on Logan, who is really just at the beginner amateur stage. Floyd was always a boring boxer and always most noted for his defense so shame on anyone who expected more fireworks. As Paul stated after, he expected Mayweather to dictate the pace. One might have thought Floyd would have upped his usual Pace going up against such a novice fighter, but he didn't.
Do think the brothers will fight eventually. Both need a few more fights as buildup to that. The Klitschko non-fight clause not in effect with them. They are the type to see the entertainment value and could handle it without severing their relationship. Jake would be the one to take that fight more seriously though as there's that sense he's always been in his big brother's shadow.
