AnEsonGib vs Austin McBroom Fight Card Results
Cory Wharton vs Chase DeMoore recap
A match made for television, two reality TV stars stepped into the ring to finally settle their beef. They had to be separated multiple times during press conferences and even attempted to throw hands a few days early during a weigh-in on September 8.
Physically, DeMoore outmatched his opponents by considerable margins. Height, reach, weight, and age all leaned in favor of Chase. But DeMoore fought harder to keep his mouthpiece in place than he did to take down Wharton. His left hand was completely out of commission while it held his mouthguard in place.
Despite his stature, Wharton’s speed and tenacity were on display during the matchup. Landing several blows that staggered his towering opponent, but failed to capitalize on that moment in the first two rounds. In fact, both fighters took a break in the middle of the second round to taunt each other.
The next two rounds would consist of some fairly unprofessional fighting with the officiator at one point in time informing Wharton that his maneuvers “weren’t boxing”.
The fifth and final round would begin with a flurry of punches from both fighters with none of them actually connecting. The gassed fighters would slow to a crawl, with both fighters checking the big screen several times to see how much time remained.
The exhibition ended without a score, but the commentators agreed that if the bout was scored, Wharton would have run away with the victory. However, it might have been easier to judge their taunting abilities rather than their combat skills.
Adam Selah vs Landon McBroom recap
Austin McBroom’s younger brother Landon and his opponent Adam Saleh put it all on the line to compete for the title of ICB International Middleweight Champion. But the fight was for more than just a belt – it was a battle between the East Coast and the West.
Scheduled for four rounds, viewers expected to see a better show of boxing than the fight prior. But the matchup leaned in Saleh’s favor as he brings a lot more experience to the ring.
The first three rounds of the match came and went without any considerable punches being landed. Despite the lack of action, McBroom controlled the pace of the fight with his presence. Yet, heading into round four, Saleh turned it on and pressured his opponent.
Both fighters exploded at the start of the final round. Respect for one another’s abilities was abandoned as McBroom and Saleh took chances throwing risky punches. Despite two right hooks from McBroom late in the fourth round, the judges scored the match a unanimous draw.
