There was no official winner as it was an exhibition bout. However, it was a win for the ‘Maverick’ as he went to the distance against the former undefeated 50-0 pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather.

Meanwhile, Jack is in his prime and coming off a spectacular fourth-round stoppage victory against Dervin Colina. Furthermore, there is not much weight difference between Jack and Paul. Hence, Cejudo believes that Jack would easily win against Paul if the fight ever comes to fruition.
