Cruiserweight Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) stopped bareknuckle/MMA fighter Michael Perry (0-2, 0 KOs) on Saturday night at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Paul dropped Perry with a clubbing shot in round one. Paul floored Perry again in round two. The end came in round six when Paul put Perry down a third time. Perry was tough, but had no boxing technique making things easy for Paul. Next up for Jake is a date against Mike Tyson in November.
In a cruiserweight fight, former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (54-6-1, 34 KOs) had to work hard to defeat Uriah Hall (1-1, 0 KOs). Chavez won by scores of 59-55, 59-55, 58-56. Chavez, 38, called out Jake Paul after the fight.
WBA, IBF, WBO unified female featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) annihilated Stevie Morgan (14-2, 13 KOs) in two rounds. Returning to the ten round, two-minute format, Serrano punished Morgan from the opening bell and got a referee’s stoppage in round two.
In a pair of showdowns between unbeaten lightweights, Lucas “Prince” Bahdi (17-0, 15 KOs) scored a spectacular come-from-behind sixth round knockout over highly regarded Ashton “H20” Sylve (11-1, 9 KOs), and Corey Marksman (10-0-1, 7 KOs) took an eight round majority decision over Tony Aguilar (12-1-1, 4 KOs) in a rematch by scores of 76-76, 77-75, 78-74.
– Embarrassed to admit I’m watching this card on the Fire Stick because there is nothing else on.
– How can a fighter be allowed to not wear a cup in a pro match?
– Chavez Jr continues to suck.
– Senior not in even in attendance.
– They should pay us to watch this garbage…..
Who didn’t have a proper cup?
– Hall never had a cup.
– Rosado and the other announcer said it a few times.
Completely unprofessional of the corner, fighter and commission. What a joke!
Did Chavez look really bad? I’m assuming he did. I didn’t even know he was fighting. Chavez was prematurely past his prime but at 38, he’s definitely well past his prime, coupled with his chaotic life outside the ring, he’s pretty much rendered himself useless as a fighter. Sounds like a perfect next opponent for Jake Paul!
Chavez,, Jr. would make more against Jake Paul than any other possible opponent.
– H20 Sylve, a lightweight prospect, just got stretched in the 6th Round, after dominating up to that point.
– Amando Serrano took care of business easily….
No one wants to hear your crying, Gary. You’re watching because you want to. Plus you just saw the knockout of the year.

– Read my post again slower so that you can understand it this time.
– Say the words out loud if it helps you.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Gary, You express the attitude of many. I wonder how many blue collar families can afford to watch boxing
When it is so expensive? Then add to the price, the quality of the fights themselves. Too many of the ppv matches are not worth it.
About the cup issue, it is a dangerous oversight. A fighter with a cup can experience severe pain with a low blow. To allow a fighter to compete without one boggles my mind.
You are not alone, Gary. The state of boxing now makes a lot us fans want to cry.
Cowboy Tex:
– Thank you for your comments.
– I already pay a $265/month Comcast bill.
– The Fire Stick has become a good friend w/PPV.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
$265 a month for Comcast!! I thought for sure you have been plug in on how to get cable for $0 considering your mastery with firestick. I get all of the channels you get for $0 and haven’t looked back. Modern cable has too many repeats of the same programing.
HawnJay:
– My $265/month Comcast cable bill is because the Wife wants to keep Comcast.
– She is not interested in any new tech that we can use to tell Comcast to go pound sand, and save some green.
– It’s an argument every month when I get that bill.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
Gary, love the Fire Stick comment. LOL
Would you rather watch Shakur?
“Would you rather watch Shakur?”
– Went to his most recent fight at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
– You know what to expect in a Shakur Stevenson fight.
– If you are expecting a Tank Davis-like KO, you are probably not going to get it.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
this type of boxing is like wwe .
the wbc will probably make up some belt for paul-tyson or give chavez jr. another shot at canelo.
Is tonight the night jake paul fights? He would have knocked out tyson but whoever they put in front of him it’s goodnight irene !
“He would have knocked out tyson but whoever they put in front of him it’s goodnight irene !”
– It’s goodnight Wally in the real world…..
See what happened jake paul destroyed again.
“See what happened jake paul destroyed again.”
– Yeah, he’s the second coming of George Foreman………
Paul doesn’t fight anyone that is worth anything .a1/1/0 knock outs record , like beating up a fourth grader
Are you serious did anyone besides me see the fight? Uriah record is 1-0-1and Chavez struggled for the win, Hell he should’ve fought the paperboy instead smh
How the f@$k did a guy w/ an 1-0-1 get approved to fight someone with over 50 fights? Does Floriduh have a commission. That’s a recipe for a ring death. Incompetent shit pieces.
H20 Sylve DONE! No fighter as ever come back and had a good career after a face-first knockout into complete unconsciousness, it plays with their mind too much, they’re going to revisit dreamland the same way. And they know it.
Pacman did well after the scary face plant KO loss of the decade. But that kid Sylve isn’t Pac by any stretch….
That’s a good point, but yeah, Pac was already a long time champion with so many fights, he had a lot of championship experience before the KO. H2O had it happen way too early, now it’s the foundation of his career, that highlight knockout.
And Pac was well advanced into his career, not just starting his second lap like Sylve.
Pacquio did after Juan Manuel Marquez made him temporarily leave Earth.
Holyfield had many successful years after Bowe planted him face first.
Also Marlon Starling after Tomas Morlinares.
Chavez is done! He clearly lost a 6 round fight against an mma guy on his second fight! Chavez looked out of shape and very slowed! He was suposed to impress on this one but, felt very short. Hall vs paul next would have been better! This is a set up fight so, jake paul vs chavez next! Jake will clearly destroy this burnt out version if chavez.
Ashton “H20” Sylve, no matter what title fights he ever gets someday, they will ALWAYS play that highlight knockout loss during the show, over and over. He will be famous for being face down.
Mike ‘the midget punching bag’ Perry was no match for Jake “no cardio” Paul. What a joke of a fight. I hope Tyson give him a lesson or Chavez redeem himself by knocking him out.
I would love to see him fight Chavez Junior. I think that’s a 50/50 fight.
They should do a Bloods vs Crops fight card. Makes sense. Considering this had 17,000 people, I’m sure it would sell. All the fights that resemble bar brawls sell nowadays. People just want to see violence. Skilled fights don’t sell
Floriduh hillbillies. They’ll buy anything, especially if it’s bottom of the barrel shite. Rubes.
It was done awhile back on one of those “celebrity” boxing shows.
Bloods and crips or cowards run in packs wouldn’t know how to fight there way out of a wet paper bag unless they have a gun.
You are correct. Even me, a longtime boxing fan. I refuse to watch Shakur outpoint a random top ten guy. I want to see a Hagler vs Hearns or a Thrilla in Manila, or Arguello vs Pryor, Corrales vs Castillo. But I will watch Tank every time, boxing needs ko’s to stay relevant. Too many choices these days for fans.
What was the weight difference between the two ? Bare knuckle is no compassion to boxing. They don’t volume punch and are very mindful of counters, they pot.shot and don’t fight a lot of rounds, perfect for the tuner. There are so many quality boxers that would gladly cash that jake paul check and of course end the circus, but they will never get that call…….
Still trying to figure out who had less business being in a professional boxing ring, Mike Perry or Stevie Morgan. Shameful. However, that 3 piece that Bahdi put on “Water Boy” was something else! Very rare to see a guy getting beat that badly and wind up scoring a KO that brutal. He was out like PAC vs Marquez. Scary KO. Hope the kid is ok. He’s only 20 but I doubt he will ever recover from that. Hope he can prove me wrong but there’s a long road back from that.
Stevie Morgan was a 135lb World champion and had a record of 14-1 13KOs going into this fight so i would think she was legit threat but Serrano is the P4P Queen of womens Boxing and she is the current KO killer of womens boxing just 2 KOs more and she cements another record for the future HOFer
Perry is 0-2 just was paid to get flatlined who cares
What title did Stevie Morgan have? She couldn’t have been a World Champion because Katie Taylor had those titles locked for awhile. This was a clearly a step up fight for Morgan and she was definitely not ready for it.
“What title did Stevie Morgan have?”
– BoxRec says that Stevie Morgan held the WBF Intercontinental Lightweight Championship.
– She also held the American Boxing Federation Inter-Continental Lightweight belt and the Universal Boxing Organization World Lightweight title.
MMA boxing is proven to be once again lower level than youtube boxing. Poor Dana
lmao you are correct!!!!!!!!!
Are you delusional? MMA is “lower” than boxing. What does that even mean? UFC as an organization has more money than Top Rank, Golden Boy and Matchroom combined.
“Are you delusional? MMA is “lower” than boxing. What does that even mean?”
– You misread his post.
– Kim stated that “MMA Boxing is a lower level than YouTube boxing”.
– Capish????
Amanda Serrano is 1 KO away from tying the womens record for most KOs good to see her crushing opponents again
Chavez Jr lost to Anderson Silva a few years back. No way Paul should give Chavez Jr a chance at a pay day. Plus that would be a step down to do it at this point unless Chavez Jr was a late sub.
The Paul sideshow continues, as does the absurdity that is Chavez Jr.
Now that I watched the knockout again, it’s not really going to be a problem for “H20” Sylve. It was so quick, he probably won’t remember it at all. A few decent wins and he’s right back where he was. It’ll probably be like the shock knockout Lennox Lewis had early on. He came back to domonate the heavyweight throne for many years, became the greatest of his generation
Finally, I hope. Paul can face Tyson and we can end this circus act. For good !
JP should be ashamed for wanting to fight a
58 year old ex-champion. He needs to fight
ranked professional fighters. This is going
beyond circus act. It’s sickening.
Tyson is an old man, has not won a sanctioned fight in over 20 years and quit 2 out of his 3 last fights way back than.
Before Sylve was kayoed I was looking at his build and noticed his arms are short. I said to myself he may win this fight but once he gets to the championship fights he’s getting stopped. Three rounds later he was planted face first.
If everyone and every boxing organisation ignored this fellow, hopefully he’d fade away. Has not fought anyone with a boxing IQ, only hasbeens from other styles of fighting ( excluding the younger Fury who pretends to be a boxer) ,and now going to take on an old man who once was.
Jake Paul,fight a top 50 boxer and see how you go, oh and someone around your own age
He’s a better promoter than Top Rank, Golden Boy and Matchroom. Puts more fans in the seats than Shakur. His fights are more exciting than a Shakur snoozefest. Amanda Serrano makes more money with him than a real boxing promoter.
To be fair, and I know everyone is going to disagree, but I’m ok with the Jake Paul thing. He’s a boxer early in his career. He’s only had about 10 fights with no amateur background. In a division nobody really cares about. It’s not his fault that he has more fans than the average new comer. He’s obviously not ready for Jai Opetaia, etc. So who do you expect him to fight? He’s bringing more eyes to the sport and bring attention to other fighters like Serrano. She has gained a lot more popularity since signing with MVP. He’s also putting together compelling cards. By all accounts he treats the fighters under his banner well. For example when Amanda pulled out of the fight he paid Nina Meinke her whole purse. He was only obligated to pay her 40%. He also refunded EVERYONE in attendance, even though they had a full card minus the Serrano fight. Stuff like that is good for the fighters and the fans. I mean he sold out the arena of 17k on a card he put together in about 4 weeks. Not many boxer or promoters are doing that. Especially away from their hometown. Lastly to his credit, he seems to be taking the sport seriously. He doesn’t need to fight for the money, he is improving, and he could have easily quit after his first loss. Give him credit where credit is due.
I would say shaheed that the things he is doing points towards him being an excellent promoter and a true friend to a fighter fighting under his banner. As far as boxing, he has high hopes, but his skills do not pass the smell test. The thing is he pulls enough fans which equals more money for a serious boxer to fight him, but they don’t. Real boxers just don’t take him seriously in my opinion.
“I would say shaheed that the things he is doing points towards him being an excellent promoter and a true friend to a fighter fighting under his banner.”
– Agreed.
– He is a good promotor and does indeed look out for his fighters.
– Have to give him his props there…..
He hasn’t earnt any credit or respect until he starts beating real boxers ,,,,
He calls out a lot of boxers but the only boxer to fight him is Tommy Fury. I think JC Chavez Junior wants to fight him, but Junior already lost to an old MMA fighter Anderson Silva.
I’m glad Jake Paul destroyed Perry. Not a fan at all. Uriah Hall was a solid UFC fighter. Chavez Jr in a ring is the one thing that keeps him out of trouble. The smartest of them all was Amanda Serrano. Good for her for taking advantage of Jake Paul’s fan base and earning new fans of her own. I supposed its Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson next.
Watching Jake Paul vs Mike Perry was way more exciting than watching Shakur.
paul should fight a real pro fighter i guess he draws a crowd a s a u tube fighter that keeps the circus going
this type of boxing is like WWE . the wbc will come up with some belt for paul vs tyson or give chavez jr. another fight with canelo. its a CIRCUS.
he fought an ok Fury and look what happened
We all come on here wishing Jake Paul would just go away, but 4 days later, he’s still the most interesting thing on Fightnews! (RIP Richie Sandoval) I’ve said this before, but I would like to see hard nosed Cruiserweight Brandon Glanton fight Jake Paul. He’s not a top 10 contender, but I doubt Paul would fight him because outside of hardcore boxing fans he has zero name recognition. He doesn’t fall under Pauls typical qualification list: washed up MMA fighter, geriatric former boxer, offspring or siblings of champion boxers milking the name, or inactive club fighters with decent records. At 32, Glanton is not that young, but he’s active, tough as nails, travels the world for low paying oppurtunities, he’s had a couple of loses against quality opposition but has been eager to jump right back at it. He’s the total opposite of Jake Paul, where he’s been grinding it out for low pay all over the world. Paul has been calling out Canelo and stating he’s the face of boxing, making millions from each fight, give a guy like Glanton a chance.
