Funny how logan Paul performed better than Connor mcgregor, boxed better than mcgregor, mcgregor boxing stance and technique was so awkward. No doubt both not professionals and can see in their technique.
But it going 8 rounds was a win for logan Paul even though he held a lot.

--- Quote ---BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Paramount Global, the parent company of Showtime and BoxingScene.com, will eliminate Showtime Sports as a department by the end of this year. Sports Business Journal first reported the news Tuesday afternoon.
The premium cable network has televised boxing since March 1986, when it aired Marvin Hagler’s 11th-round knockout of John Mugabi, and it has remained one of the sport’s most prominent platforms for nearly four decades. Showtime has had a particularly successful run since it signed Floyd Mayweather to an exclusive six-fight deal for the undefeated superstar to headline its pay-per-view shows in February 2013.
Paramount Global’s decision was based on the company focusing exclusively on scripted programming moving forward and eliminating eight-figure annual budgets previously allocated for live sports, primarily “Showtime Championship Boxing” and Bellator, an MMA promotional company that Paramount Global also owns. The positions of nearly 40 employees in Showtime Sports will be eliminated after December 29.
By December, Showtime and HBO, the sport’s two most prominent platforms for many years, will have exited the sport five years apart. HBO announced that it would stop televising boxing in September 2018 and aired its last live show in December of that year.
