Floyd Mayweather entertained another exhibition bout between the ropes at Super Rizin in Japan. In the process Mayweather flattened Mikuru Asakura in round two.
In the opening round, both men were hesitant as they sought to feel one another out. It wasnāt all plain sailing for Mayweather in the second, as Asakura landed some clean shots. The pressure from Asakura forced the undefeated boxer to retreat, recuperate and come back with his own attacks.
In typical Mayweather fashion, he bounced back with a crisp right hand of his own which landed flush on the face of the Rizin MMA fighter right at the bell, which closed the curtain on the contest.

Mayweatherās last time fighting in the Saitama Super Arena, he dominated Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasuawak, forcing him to the canvas three times in the opening round, resulting in the 24-year-old team throwing in the towel.
