Things got weird in Tampa at the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley fight card last night in Tampa as former NFL great Frank Gore took on former NBA star Deron Williams in a four-round fight that had judges and everything.
Williams ended up winning the via split decision after four wild rounds that at one point saw Gore falling through the ropes after being punched by Williams.
Williams had a great quote after the fight, saying:
“I’m gonna go sit my old dumb ass down somewhere and let these professionals do this (expletive). Honestly, I probably looked terrible out there. … As soon as you come out here and start getting touched, all your training goes out the window.”
Look at this wild moment:

The best moment of the fight, though, came when Gore had a priceless reaction to getting punched by Williams:
This is hands down my favorite boxing highlight of the year
