I look forward to put him down
At 3:09 into the video, did Mayweather say:
I mean, I look forward to put him down. I do look forward to put him down.
If he said that, I'm surprised he didn't say that "look forward to putting him down" instead.
Could someone listen and see if that's what he actually said?

put'n 'im down' so he's just abbreviating, through lazy pronunciation, the phrase 'putting him down'. I'd be surprised if he said 'put' as it would make no sense, but he's a boxer rather than a wordsmith, so I'd not be shocked if he used poor English!
