Logan Paul calls Floyd Mayweather \u201cslower than expected\u201d after PPV showdown Amanda Westcott for SHOWTIMELogan Paul can now officially say he went the distance with Floyd Mayweather and the YouTube star even called him \u201cslower than expected\u201d after surviving eight rounds with the boxing hall of famer. After months of anticipation, Paul vs Mayweather is finally in the books. While no winner was technically crowned due to it being an exhibition bout, Paul secured the moral victory by lasting all eight rounds. While he wasn\u2019t able to get much offense in towards the latter half of the bout, Paul also didn\u2019t take damage in return. Mayweather landed a few solid shots but for the most part, both came out relatively unscathed. Having spent 24 minutes in the ring with him, Paul called it the \u201cbest moment of his life.\u201d But did Mayweather\u2019s performance come with any surprises? To the social media celeb turned boxer, age played a bigger role than he imagined. \u201cHe blessed me with this opportunity, so I don\u2019t want to sit here and talk s***,\u201d he joked in the post-fight press conference. Though Paul did just that, criticizing Mayweather for his speed in the ring. \u201cHe was a little slower than I expected. His age finally came into play and I could see it. He started breathing a little heavier in rounds five and six.\u201d At 44 years old, Mayweather has been retired from the fight game for four years. Though even in his retirement, he\u2019s now raked in tens of millions for competing against a social media star. As for Paul, he\u2019s still incredibly new to the sport despite stepping in there with the all-time greatest. \u201cI\u2019m such an infant,\u201d he explained. \u201cRegardless of the performance tonight, this is my third fight. I\u2019m happy.\u201d Paul\u2019s section of the post-fight presser begins at the 38:19 mark below. There\u2019s no telling what could possibly top this event down the line for Paul, though he\u2019s evidently hungry for more. \u201cI\u2019m sure there\u2019s a list of opponents on Twitter,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll pick one, make them get embarrassed.\u201d So the door is wide open for his fourth pro bout. After surviving Mayweather, he\u2019s sure to be more confident than ever when he next heads into the ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
