Mayweather vs. Gotti III Preview
The rematch between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III is more than just a continuation of their previous encounter—it’s an opportunity for both fighters to settle the score in a controlled setting. While the first fight was stopped by the referee due to chaos, the rematch promises to be a different affair.
Mayweather, now 47 years old, remains a master of defense. His exhibition bouts have shown that even as he approaches 50, he can still outclass younger opponents with his technical skills and defensive prowess. In the first bout against Gotti, although the fight was not officially scored, Mayweather appeared to be in full control. MMA Fighting’s unofficial scorecard had Mayweather ahead five rounds to none before the fight was called off in the sixth round.
Gotti, the grandson of notorious American crime boss John Gotti, has been making waves in the world of combat sports. With a 5-1 record in mixed martial arts and two professional boxing victories, Gotti has proven he can hold his own in the ring. However, matching up against a boxing legend like Mayweather is a monumental challenge, and the skill gap between the two remains significant.
Gotti’s frustration in the first fight came largely from Mayweather’s defensive style, which has allowed the undefeated boxing champion to control fights on his own terms. It’s expected that Mayweather will employ the same strategy in the rematch—starting cautiously, allowing Gotti to entertain the crowd with bursts of offense, before ramping up the pressure when he sees fit.
Let’s hope that this time, the fight stays in the ring and avoids the chaos that marred their first encounter.
What Happened in the First Fight?
Their first fight was an eight-round exhibition with two-minute rounds, and while no official judges were present, fans expected a competitive but clean bout. However, tensions ran high even before the opening bell, with delays caused by Mayweather’s security team having to clear Gotti’s corner. Once the fight began, it became clear that Mayweather was in control, easily outclassing Gotti with superior speed and technical ability.
By the sixth round, the referee, Kenny Bayless, decided to stop the fight due to excessive trash talking and the heated atmosphere between the fighters. What followed was chaos, with both teams spilling into the ring, leading to an all-out brawl that stole the headlines.

Prediction for Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti III
Mayweather is favored to win this rematch by decision. Given his unmatched skill set and defensive tactics, he is expected to control the pace of the fight and outbox Gotti, who lacks the experience to pose a serious threat to the undefeated legend.
While Gotti may have the passion and hunger to challenge Mayweather, it’s unlikely that he will overcome the vast difference in experience and talent. The rematch should be more of a showcase for Mayweather’s skills, with a potential for Gotti to surprise but little chance of upsetting the status quo.
