Boxing Legend Floyd Mayweather Scores The Easiest Win Of His Career After Taking Down Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa In Round One
Undefeated Floyd Mayweather stopped a 20-year-old Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in the first round of their welterweight boxing exhibition on New Year’s Eve from inside the hallowed Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan at Rizin 14.
The match was scheduled to be three rounds with three minutes in each round under boxing rules. Mayweather was reportedly paid a $9 million for his efforts. Boxing champion displayed a much more aggressive fighting style than we’ve seen in his past fights.
Towering over Nasukawa, who has fought in the past at 121 pounds the 41-year-old former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather made his foe look foolish as he floored Nasukawa three times in the first round. That forced Nasukawa’s corner to threw in the towel before making it to three minutes of action.
After scoring a first-round knockout win over Japanese kickboxer Tensin Nasukawa in a bizarre exhibition match, Mayweather claims he’s still retired and teasing a fight against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and other mixed martial artists.
