“His Face Say He Lost Money on His Man”: Floyd Mayweather’s Immediate Reaction to His Bodyguard Getting Knocked Out in Resurfaced Clip Makes Fans Go Wild

Published 05/31/2023, 2:39 PM EDT

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. made a surprise visit to Japan to face Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura back in 2022. This was ‘Money’s fourth exhibition bout since retiring from boxing. However, it wouldn’t be a night without some disappointment for the former champion. Despite stopping Asakura in the second round, his night was plagued after his bodyguard got knocked out on the undercard of the event.

Mayweather’s bodyguard, Jizzy Mack, found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. During his bout with K-1 kickboxing veteran Kouzi, Mack experienced a brutal knockout in the third round. The bodyguard weighed 42 pounds more than his opponent and attempted to use his size advantage to his benefit by clinching and holding on for dear life. However, as the fight progressed, it became clear that Mack’s gas tank was rapidly depleting.
