FLOYD MAYWEATHER STOPS MIKURU ASAKURA – VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Saitama, Japan (September 25th, 2022)– RIZIN Fighting Federation returned to Saitama, Japan on Sunday with something of a sideshow attraction featuring Mikuru Asakura taking on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition boxing bout.

For those that remember Mayweather vs. Tenshin, it was a similar result. Mayweather kept things at arm’s length in the opening round, using his jab to keep the distance, though did have to take a strong body shot from Asakura in the opening minute. Every time the popular MMA star, Asakura threw or landed punches, he was greeted by loud cheers from his fans in attendance. Mayweather also had success to the body on two occasions.

A more aggressive Mayweather came out in round 2 and landed a strong right hand that Asakura took well early in Round 2. Asakura landed a right hand that snapped Mayweather’s head back. Mayweather then smiled and continued moving backwards, picking his moments.

Late in the round, Mayweather connected with a hard right hand that stiffened the Japanese fighter’s legs. Mayweather landed a big overhand right that dropped Asakura heavily at the bell. Asakura tried to make it to his feet, but referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight.
