Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul: Fight predictions, expert picks, undercard, start time for exhibition match
CBSN
Here's how our experts see the exhibition playing out on Sunday night
Can Logan Paul manage the unthinkable and beat boxing legend Floyd Mayweather when the two step into the ring for their exhibition clash in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday? That's the question that has dominated the fight world all week, even as the overseeing commission in Florida announced that there will be no judges for the fight, nor a winner announced at the conclusion of the eight rounds. There is one clear way for Mayweather or Paul to get a "win," however, as the referee can stop the fight or a fighter could be knocked out. Given Paul's massive height and weight advantage and Mayweather's huge edge in pure boxing skills, a knockout is certainly on the table and adds a bit of extra interest in how the action plays out when the fight airs live on Showtime pay-per-view. Elsewhere on the card, light heavyweight Badou Jack is back in action, but taking on a fairly unheralded opponent in Dervin Colina. That's because Jack was expected to face Jean Pascal in this co-main event slot, but Pascal tested positive for three different steroids as well as EPO ahead of the bout and was removed. Jack lost a split decision to Pascal to close 2019 but bounced back to beat Blake McKernan on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. Plus, former NFL star wide receiver Chad Johnson will make his debut in the ring when he takes on Brian Maxwell in an exhibition to open the event on PPV.More Related News
