Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s son, right? And I was like, I gotta check this out. So, I started digging. Turns out, we’re talking about his grandson, Kentrell Gaulden Jr. – the little guy is the son of Floyd’s daughter, Iyanna, and the rapper, NBA YoungBoy.
First thing I did? I went straight to look up some videos. And wow, there’s this one clip going viral, and for good reason. This kid, and I mean he’s just a little kid, is shadowboxing, and it’s pretty impressive. You can see he’s got some of that Mayweather magic in him. It makes sense, though. I mean, Floyd’s known as one of the best defensive boxers ever, super accurate with his punches. I learned that thanks to CompuBox, he’s even got the highest plus-minus ratio in recorded boxing history. That’s a big deal.
- Watched the viral video: Seriously, this was my first move. Seeing is believing, and this video of Kentrell Jr. shadowboxing? It’s something else. You watch it, and you just think, “This kid’s got potential.”
- Looked into Floyd’s record: This was important to me. I wanted to understand why people were making a big deal. And yeah, Floyd’s defensive skills and accuracy are legendary. I mean, the best according to CompuBox stats? That’s huge.
- Checked out family background: You know, it’s always interesting to see where people come from. Knowing that Kentrell Jr. is the son of Iyanna and NBA YoungBoy added another layer to the story. It’s like, talent runs in the family, but from different worlds.
- Tried to understand Floyd’s motivation: I was curious about why Floyd was promoting an exhibition bout with Don Moore. It felt like he was trying to justify it, maybe to keep the Mayweather name in the spotlight. I get it, though. It’s about legacy.
- Realized the significance: This whole thing made me realize how much boxing is a part of the Mayweather identity. From Floyd to his grandson, it’s like it’s in their blood. And seeing Kentrell Jr. shadowboxing, it’s like watching the future of boxing in a way.
My Realizations
This whole deep dive was more than just watching a cute kid throw punches. It got me thinking about legacy, about how talents and passions get passed down through generations. And with Floyd being the boxing legend he is, and now seeing his grandson show these early signs, it’s like a story unfolding before our eyes. The Mayweather boxing legacy? It’s definitely not ending with Floyd. This kid, Kentrell Jr., he’s something to watch. And I, for one, am pretty excited to see where he goes with it. It’s like, the future of boxing might just be in good hands, or should I say, good gloves.
