Professional boxer Claressa Shields and other fighters express shock and disbelief over the physical altercation that occurred during the Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III fight

The recent combat sports event that took place Sunday night at FLA Arena in Sunrise, Fla., was quite unusual. Floyd Mayweather versus John Gotti III main event exhibition bout was highlighted by an intense scuffle that broke out in the middle of the sixth round. Surprisingly, Mayweather, the former boxing champ, had an easy victory over Gotti III with his taunting and flamboyant style.

Gotti III got frustrated and started to talk trash back to Mayweather, which prompted the referee, Kenny Bayless, to issue a warning about the language being used and a threat to end the fight. Unfortunately, things did not calm down, and Bayless had no other option but to turn off the fight, which led to both fighters and their teams erupting in a brawl.

Following the wild event, a few notable figures reacted to the craziness, including Claressa Shields, who expressed her disbelief in the entire altercation and how it happened. Shields was present in the arena and provided a first-hand account of the entire sequence of events. The event eventually ended in chaos and was quite messy. The aftermath is yet to be seen and could spell trouble for both fighters involved.

Jamahal Hill was just as astonished as everyone else, tweeting that things got real in Miami, while Michael Chiesa expressed his concern about the aftermath of the fight. The entire bout was unprecedented and could potentially set a terrible precedent for combat sports fighting.

Lastly, Dillon Danis had a different take on the entire situation. He questioned whether anyone knew Mayweather had a fight scheduled for the night, given the chaotic events that unfolded. Whatever the case may be, the aftermath of the brawl will undoubtedly remain a topic of discussion for days to come.
