YouTube personality Jake Paul (2-0, 2 KOs) scored a vicious second round KO over 3-time NBA slam dunk champion Nate Robinson (0-1) in a cruiserweight clash on Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles, no live audience. Paul dropped Robinson in round one. He knocked Robinson down again in round two. Robinson beat the count only to get dropped face first out cold. Time was 1:35.
Former two-time world champion Badou Jack (23-3-3, 13 KOs) brutally punished previously unbeaten Blake McKernan (13-1, 6 KOs) for eight rounds in a light heavyweight bout. The ex-champ pretty much teed off on the very tough McKernan the whole fight, but McKernan somehow went the full distance. Scores were 80-72 3x.
Unbeaten lightweight Jamaine Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs) scored a seventh round TKO over Sulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs). A body shot dropped Segawa in round seven and Ortiz got the stop with his follow-up barrage. Time was 2:50. Ortiz claimed the vacant WBC USNBC silver belt. Another good action fight.
The featherweight clash between Irvin Gonzalez (14-3, 11 KOs) and Edward Vazquez (9-0, 1 KO) was rock’em sock’em robots for eight rounds. In the end, Vazquez won a split decision 77-75, 77-75, 75-77. What a war!
Ok, whats up with the boxing and a rap show. Ugghh. Shld have jus stuck to the boxing. Well at least it gives me a chance to nap between fights lol
Hugs to Mr. Paul and to Mr. Robinson for being the brave boxing men they are! Special thanks to Mr. Sulaiman and Mr. Freitag as always!
Tyson won that easily and id love to see how RJJ is moving around in the morning lol
I dont think he will be doing much moving tomor or maybe even the next day lol man, he took some shots!!
Ref should be sent to jail for Letting Nate get KO’d like that. He was done after the first knockdown.
Seriously! How did he even get licensed? Boxing is a very dangerous sport and not a joke or a show. I honestly thought he might be dead. That was a brutal KO for a guy that should have never been allowed in the ring. Very irresponsible on the promoter and commission’s part.
I agree,I thought the same thing with the last knockdown. I figured he was gone. It looked like he was shot with a 357 magnum. And why license this guy? What was he even doing in this event? The guy did not know how to throw a punch. The other fights were at least competitive, but this fight was I.M.O a recipe to get someone killed.
Why would he not get licensed? He is athletic, physically fit and has no known existing injuries that would stop it. He got KO’d bc he went up against a guy who is actually not bad but still only 1-0. What is wrong with you guys? Olympians fight nobodies at first too. Stop watching the sport.
The undercard saved the night.. the Vasquez win and the Ortiz wins were the highlights.. The rap stuff is not my cup of tea either but I am sure that a lot of peoplke enjoyed it..
Boxing is boxing. Nate Robinson is brave. It takes courage to lace em up. I pray that he suffered no permanent damage. With that said, Nate you proved your point. Enjoy your retirement.
