YouTube rivals AnEson Gib and Austin McBroom traded the keyboards for the boxing gloves last night, trading multiple knockdowns before Gib found the final shot in round four in Los Angeles.
Gib may sound like a familiar name, as he was the first opponent of Jake Paul's professional boxing career. Gib has had exhibition bouts since, but his clash with McBroom would be the second bout that was sanctioned as a professional fight. This would be McBroom's debut.
McBroom would start fast in this bout, and would manage to floor Gib in round one. Gib would work his way back into the bout and in round three he would find a breakthrough, as he would twice send McBroom to the canvas. The bell would ring for round four and Gib would pick up where he left off, as he would knockdown McBroom again. McBroom would beat the count but would be sent down again. Gib was ready to close the show. Gib would jump on his man, firing out punches which would drop McBroom once more leading to the referee stopping the bout immediately.
