Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson got to experience life in a boxing ring when he took on Brian Maxwell in a four-round (two-minute rounds) exhibition to kick off the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul pay-per-view.
Maxwell, who’s fought in MMA, bare knuckle boxing, and once in boxing, looked to be outboxed by the 43-year-old, as Johnson actually showcased some not completely incompetent skill levels given his lack of experience and age.
However, in the final round Maxwell landed a right hook on his fellow southpaw and scored the fight’s lone knockdown. Johnson got up and beat the count, and saw it out to the final bell.
