Last night in Tokyo, Floyd Mayweather fought 20-year-old kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an altogether embarrassing sham “exhibition” boxing match which was announced in early November, then unannounced two days later, and finally un-unannounced after that, with a strange set of rules and no convincing reason why the fight was even happening in the first place. If this sounds like a whole bunch of stupid and suspicious bullshit, well it was.
Here is the farcical first knockdown, in which Nasukawa flops around a bunch after getting hit by, uh, a jumping left hand that didn’t land clean. The right that Mayweather zips in there doesn’t connect, though it didn’t need to to get Nasukawa sprawling and gasping like a fish.
