Give McBroom credit, too he kept getting up and trying to get back into the fight, but by then, the tide had turned, and Gib was locked in. He probably lost the second round, too, but he put McBroom (0-1) down two times in the third and two more in the fourth before referee Jack Reiss stopped the contest. He’s obviously put in real work to try and learn boxing, and though he got dropped in the opening round, that’s some credit to McBroom, who looked like the guy with more natural talent.īut it was also partially Gib’s own aggression that got him put down, and that aggression is what brought him back.

Gib (1-1, 1 KO) hadn’t fought professionally since an early 2020 loss to Jake Paul when both turned pro, and the level to which he’s improved since then is very clear, very quickly when you compare the performances. “Influencer boxing” may not be for everyone, but a good fight is a good fight, and I can’t pretend this wasn’t an entertaining fight with two guys showing heart and determination, and giving the best effort they could. AnEson Gib came off the canvas in the first round to storm back, drop Austin McBroom four times, and score a fourth round stoppage in their Social Gloves main event tonight from Banc of California Stadium.
