Netizens Mock Logan Paul For His 'Cuddle Match' With Floyd Mayweather Jr., Funny Memes Flood Twitter
The bout, more than anything else, will be remembered for the two men hugging it out in the ring - the moment which has now led to a hilarious meme fest online.
After a preceding non-stop hype that deserved at least a completive bout, the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Logan Paul fight was disappointing and short on any real quality.
No winner was declared since the bout was an exhibition, but Floyd was mostly in control, landing a few big shots, with an increasingly tired Logan Paul doing his best work in clinch positions.
Overall, a major let-down.
With no judges ringside, the bout did not count on either fighter's record but if there was a winner on a rainy night at Miami's Hard Rock stadium it would have to have been Paul who, with a record of 0-1, managed to survive eight rounds against a boxer regarded as one of the greatest of all-time.
The much-anticipated match was so dissatisfying to watch, that fans labelled it a buzzkill. The bout, more than anything else, will be remembered for the two men hugging it out in the ring - the moment which has now led to a hilarious meme fest online.

More than the punches, what there was plenty of, though, was hugging!
In some cases, social media barbs can seem a bit harsh. With Mayweather vs Paul fight, though, the criticism was entirely justified.
