His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Using an expletive for emphasis, Mayweather adds that &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to buy into&#8221; it, &#8220;and I don&#8217;t want the public to buy into&#8221; it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He lost,&#8221; Mayweather said. &#8220;He knows he lost.
