next fight after Mayweather

N'dou took too many flush shots. He was a tough guy, but he's only human.

Ahhh I see thanks for that duece.

I was just assuming after Mayweather fight, watched it many times, he took so many big punches that fight. Should have thrown in towel a lot earlier. That probably contributed to whatever he had.

He was a pioneer of sorts, Ndou reminded me of a young Teddy Roosevelt.

Just read he got a brain cyst. Poor guy. Yeah Ndou was knocked down in the 6th, but the ref called it a slip. He was taking a major beating recieved so many rights to the head, yet he continued on.

Yeah, Remember in the 5th when he came back with that barrage which had mayweather pinned against the ropes?

That's always my favorite part in a fight. When one fighter feels a sense of urgency while in danger of being stopped and he just throws everything he has.
Much credit to Mayweather for having the defense he has. I don't think N'Dou landed anything the way he wanted to in that fight, for the exception of maybe a jab or two.
