image for Logan Paul v Floyd Mayweather ends in boos as each fighter makes millions

Mayweather beat the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Álvarez and Ricky Hatton in a Hall of Fame boxing career.

Mayweather gave up nearly 20 years, four inches in reach and 34lbs to Paul who, at 189lbs, was by far the heaviest fighter he had ever faced.

In the first round, Paul used his weight to manhandle Mayweather and unleashed a flurry of punches but none broke through his opponent’s guard.

In the second, he let Paul throw a few jabs but Mayweather, with a half-smile, easily dodged them as the larger man tired himself out.

Paul, to his credit, continued to swing hoping a lucky punch would connect but Mayweather was never in serious trouble.

By the end of the fight, Paul had landed 28 of his 217 punches, while Mayweather had connected on 43 of his 107.

The fight ended in boos from the crowd, most of whom had either paid to see a shock or see the often odious Paul get his comeuppance. »

Thirty patients were randomly assigned to the psilocybin group, while the remaining 29 patients were assigned to the escitalopram group.

Those in the psilocybin group took a placebo pill, while those in the escitalopram group received an active dose of the antidepressant medication.

“Psilocybin therapy appears to be at least as effective as a leading conventional antidepressant and is faster acting with a reassuring safety profile when given by professional therapists,” Carhart-Harris told PsyPost. »
