Mayweather’s bodyguard Jizzy Mac was in conversation with MMAJUNKIE, where he mentioned, “One thing we do know: Conor, you can say what you want to say, but you got knocked out, and you got severe head trauma and a concussion that was reported by your doctor. Is the outcome going to be the same [in a rematch]? I truly believe that no one can outbox Floyd. No one can outwork Floyd. His offense and his defense and his technique – this man is just made for this.”
