Why Floyd Mayweather Forced Referee Change Mid-Round in Mexico City Rematch with John Gotti III

Something bizarre happened in Mexico City when Floyd Mayweather in his latest exhibition bout insisted on a referee change midway through the second round.

The rematch against John Gotti III, held last night in Mexico City, was the latest chapter in Mayweather’s ongoing world tour, which has previously taken him to Japan, London, Miami, and Dubai.

Mayweather, who dominated the bout, was widely regarded by fans as the unofficial winner, though no official scorecards were kept due to the exhibition nature of the fight.

The match was a rematch from their chaotic first encounter in Florida last June, which ended in disqualification and a riot when Gotti, after being stopped in the sixth round for excessive holding, continued to throw punches, sparking a brawl that spilled into the crowd.

Despite tipping the scales at just over 160 pounds and showing signs of age, Mayweather’s skill set was still leagues ahead of Gotti, an MMA fighter with only two professional boxing matches under his belt. Gotti, who had a weight advantage of over 20 pounds, struggled to land any significant shots, while Mayweather cruised through the fight without much effort. Ultimately, the match ended without a declared winner, leaving fans with another controversial chapter in Mayweather’s storied career.
