However, as Joe pointed out, the referee got tired of him defying his instruction and thus reached his limits. Rogan said, “So Kenny Bayless gets tired of him not listening and not letting go. And he pushes him off, and he says ‘That’s it I’m stopping the fight. That’s it you won’t listen to me, I am calling this fight.’” However, this was the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Gotti’s actions spiraled out of control, and he broke free from Bayless and launched punches at Mayweather. This, however, didn’t work as well for him as Mayweather skillfully countered one of his blows after which Gotti backed to his corner.
