Floyd Mayweather vs Deji unofficial scorecard from exhibition fight

Floyd Mayweather was taken six rounds by Deji on Sunday night before he finally stopped the YouTube star.

Mayweather continues to milk the exhibition circuit for millions and will likely rake in another eight-figure purse for his efforts in Dubai. The former five-weight world champion spent much of the fight clowning around as Deji tried in vain to land a shot of note on the ring legend.

Mayweather even took over the job of the ringcard girls between rounds while he did pad work during another break in the action. Deji warmed to the act as he did push-ups in his corner before Mayweather stepped up the pressure and closed the show in the sixth session.

The fight was not scored - and the judges would not have been needed anyway - but Mirror Fighting was on hand with our verdict...

Round 1

The glove touch was half-hearted between these two, and we are underway. Floyd looks like he's playing with the YouTuber, hands way down by his hips and pawing the jab out. Deji is aggressive, but Mayweather is toying with him and messing around dodging his punches with ease.

Floyd Mayweather 10-9 Deji

Round 2

Mayweather dances around with the ring cards, and then starts taunting Deji. Complete disrespect from the boxing legend, this is what you'd expect a "fight" like this to go like. Deji with a little lead hand, catches Floyd's attention and gets a shot back for his troubles. A complete clown show, but Mayweather is having his way.

Round 3

Mayweather is mocking Deji here, taking over all the duties around the ring. But there's a little uppercut from Deji, Mayweather hits back to the body. The legend is trying to let Deji work but it's a complete mismatch. Little bit of pressure late in the round for Mayweather.

Round 4

Deji with a nice left hand and immediately made to pay as Floyd hits back. It seems as if Deji may have given Mayweather a little mark and 'Money' starts piling pressure on. That round wasn't bad, really. Mayweather has taken a small bit of damage.

Round 5

Every time Deji lands a big shot, Floyd hits him with four or five. Deji hurt a bit to the eye in that round, Mayweather is completely messing around there. Deji doing push-ups between rounds, giving Mayweather a taste of his own medicine.

Round 6

Mayweather looks annoyed now and starts piling pressure on Deji. Little uppercut from Deji lands, but he just takes so many shots for each one he lands. And Kenny Bayless stops the fight as Mayweather starts raining down shots in the corner, perhaps a little early but it's all over.

FIGHT STOPPED

Total score at time of stoppage: Floyd Mayweather 50-45 Deji
