No wonder Floyd Mayweather Jr. is considered one of the greatest boxers alive. Mainly because he’s out there currently defying the famous sports saying, “Father Time is undefeated,” as he is boasting his flawless zero-loss record. A true invincible boxer who’s currently fighting a war against time, as he’s indulging in back-to-back exhibition fights at the age of 46 years. Mayweather is currently just a few minutes away from standing against the grandson of former mafia boss, John Gotti III. The moment, the whole FLA Live Arena has been waiting for, is going to become a spectacle to get witnessed. Notably, the first fight of the night between Kamari Burnside and Brendan Jackson was a banger, setting a standard for the rest of the card.
But the fans were in awe after watching the second clash between Khalas Karim and Ulysses Diaz. Diaz was formerly the head of security for Pitbull, but then turned pro and even broke the World’s Fastest Combat Sports KO record. On the other hand, Karim is currently the ‘Wicked ‘n Bad’ Light Heavyweight Champion.
Their rematch fight went on for eight rounds, although there was a technical glitch in the number of rounds. Some fans even speculated it to be a 9-round fight. Both fighters went toe-to-toe against each other, and Diaz even suffered a bruise above his right eye. The fans were concerned about the fighter’s cut and shared views on the enthralling co-main event contest.

Ulysses Diaz vs Khalass Karim
Khalass Karim is putting in work on Ulysses Diaz it’s just too much for him plus he’s been cut. Ulysses Diaz might lose by a cut though it seems just by the right eyebrow.

Daniel Yanofsky again tweeted about the extra round conundrum, questioning if it is a mistake.
Is it just me, or did Ulysses Diaz and Khalas Karim already fight eight rounds, and this is just a bonus round? Got to be a mistake, right? #MayweatherGotti

B Plus also tweeted again about the comments made by Karim post-fight where he showed interest in fighting against the Influencer boxer, Salt Papi.
Khalass Karim called out Salt Papi but he just doesn’t have enough clout for an Influencer Boxing fight with Salt Papi, he’s definitely a challenge though but Salt is just DIFFERENT.
