Homeless boxer who handed Floyd Mayweather his last loss

Floyd Mayweather suffered the last defeat against the amateur legend, which finished homeless in the streets.
This reverse appeared with a much smaller, teenage Mayweather, which competed at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. The Grand Rapids won the bronze medal for his efforts. Soon after, Mayweather changed her professional – and the rest is a story.
Floyd Mayweather’s last defeat
But Bulgarian Serafim Todorov threw Mayweather for a gold medal shot at the semi -final stage. He issued a controversial decision with the smallest 10-9 margins and remains infamous due to the almost 30-year Mayweather spell without the opposite.
However, the fight did not come without controversy, because Mayweather raised his hand at the end. Saint America was a reliable reflection of how the competition went. It could be so different for a newborn man if the result was corrected at that time.
In the final, much more experienced Todorov lost to Somluck Kamsing, but Mayweather learned to live with the whole episode. When discussing his place on the podium for the home Olympics and his amateur career as a whole, Mayweather has never been bitter.
He explained how he felt about the Shay Shay club.
“If I lost six fights for one point, there is something to it,” he noted. “But I fought in a computer scoring system, which was hard.
“When it comes to how I looked at amateur boxing, this is an educational program preparing you for professional ranks, if you decide to do.
“Am I satisfied with my amateur career? – Of course. Am I satisfied with the bronze medal and not winning gold? – Of course.
“The judge raised my hand because he thought I won. But I’m glad that the fight went as she went. This made me work much harder as a professional – don’t feel the same pain.
“It was one of the best things that happened to me.”
Serafim Todorov
The former pound for Pound King also mentioned that Bulgarian was homeless at some point.
“The same guy I lost with is now homeless and I feel bad,” said Mayweather. “I wish him nothing but the best. I don’t know why he didn’t get a boxing coach because. While we fought, he was much older than me.
“I fought at the elite stage at 16 years. Five years later I changed the professional at 19. During the year I was a champion. “
Since then, Todorov has earned a diminutive amount of money, selling his story about being the last warrior who defeated Mayweather. He talked to the Fresh York Times at Central Park to remember his memories of this semi -final.
“He was 19, remember. My experience was much stronger.
“I beat all Russians, all Cubans, some Americans, Germans and Olympic masters. I raced from them in the ring. The British, French – beat them all – announced Todorov to Borden herself.
“I was very intelligent. I was a very stunning and attractive warrior to watch. You must be an artist in the ring. I was an artist.
“To be sincere, it was like any other fight,” I beat much stronger fighters, “he added.
Floyd Mayweather assured his fans that his defeat with Todorov did not affect his feelings about his time in games. He still calls it his most critical professional achievement.
However, another thing is whether winning gold would change his career trajectory. On the other hand, the winner of the Golden Medal of 1992 Oscar de la Hoya won the salary at the sight of millions much earlier than Mayweather during his term.
Mayweather laughed recently, defeating de la Hoya on Cinco de Mayo in 2007.

According to Chris Mannix, both Gervont Davis and Lamont Roach are a game. This is good news for fighting fans, who basically thought that Underdog Roach deserved to nod a judge after the final bell freed himself in the first and more, as long as only the battle. However, the fight was considered a renovation, which makes a rematch an obvious choice for every warrior. However, boxing boxing is almost a surprise when a massive fight is formed on American soil. Recognition for Roach, and especially Davis, for being ready to throw again. Mannix claims that Davis-Roach 2 may fall in June.
It would certainly be a positive development. However, every time he would be nice in the near future. The truth is that the first fight, though not justified thriller, was a fascinating matter. It was expected that Davis won, but things did not go as planned. At the beginning, the praised Davis’ power did not seem to affect Roach too deeply. What’s more, Roach was extremely disciplined all the time, stopping Davis from controlling the pace. Roach may not be straight by the judges after a duel, but it was obvious that it was a much bigger challenge for Davis than most of everyone she expected.
With this in mind, Davis remains one of the biggest attractions in sport. It probably won’t remain such a great attraction if Roach finally wins the rematch, which he just can. The question really is whether Davis can make the right corrections that he will have to defeat Roach. The truth is that Davis can be forced to find a way to just fly his frustrating opponent. This is an amazing thing for a man known to determine a competitive fight after a fight. Despite this, the size results from the uprising. And Davis will have to be his best if he wants to beat Roach in a rematch.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the rematch will even happen. Boxing can suppress its promising possibilities, how history has shown over and over again. Despite this, the fact that both Davis and Roach are apparently willing to take him again, is a promising news for fans of fighting. Perhaps the days of fighter players to sit down, which could be their biggest moments, end. Do not make a mistake, Davis and Roach will put a lot on the line if they return to the ring.

That is why Stevenson’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, decided to safely choose, adapting him to the featherlight electrician Josh Padley last month after Floyd Schofield withdrew from February 22 with the disease. Herrera was one of the options considered, and Hearn chose Padley.
Falling “Kill you”
Cuban Herrera (17-0, 15 KO) demanded that Shakur “send me a contract”, adding “I’ll kill you.“
The last remark could be the answer that Shakur rejected the idea of fighting 22-year-old Herrera as absurd, stating: “They are still trying to direct me towards adolescent children. I just want gigantic names !!!! “
Fans in social media did not buy Shakur’s excuses, saying that his last opponent, Josh Padley, was not a gigantic name and would be simple to work for 5’11 “Southpaw Jadier Herrera. In addition, Shakur has never fought gigantic names in his entire career, especially since he moved to 135 in 2023.
