Boxing fans call Floyd Mayweather’s win over Tenshin Nasukawa a fix

FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S 136-second demolition of Tenshin Nasukawa has been blasted as "a fix" on social media.

Kickboxing star Nasukawa was left crying in his own corner after being sent tumbling to the canvas three times in the first two minutes of the fight in Saitama, Japan.

The "fight" was scheduled for three rounds, but Mayweather didn't need any more than one as it descended into a farce.

Mayweather, 41, boasted about earning $9million dollars to take on Japan's golden boy - and he collected his money with minimum fuss after making his opponent look foolish.

And the prominent line on social media was that many believed the fight was a set-up.

Dane Bird posted on Twitter that it was "a total fix", while "Josh" added that it was "the most obvious fix I've ever seen".

Deasn Burden wrote on the social media site that the "fight was an embarrassment", before adding that it was "surely a fix".

Chris Core accepted that it was "only an exhibition match" but also believes it was a fix as he pointed out that Nasukawa is "meant to be good" and "went down too easily".

When the first bell sounded the unbeaten five-weight world boxing champion strolled out with a grin on his face as his 20-year-old took to the centre of the ring.

Nasukawa looked completely out of his depth in his first boxing fight, swinging wildly in an attempt to land a blow on his opponent.

One landed on the glove of Mayweather, and that appeared to sting him into action as he returned with a sharp flurry to deck the home favourite with a short left to the body.

The fight descended into farce when another dig from Mayweather left Nasuwaka staggering back like a drunk before falling down for a second time.

And another half-hearted punch to the side of the head did for the kickboxer a third time - and his corner threw in the towel after 136 seconds of the fight.

"It's all about entertainment. It's not going on anyone's record.

"Tenshin is still one hell of a fighter and one hell of a champion"
