Backyard Boxing Turns Ugly as “Awful Mismatch” Results in Devastating Knockout

Street fighting and backyard boxing matches have become a part of boxing over the last decade. The trend which started in the streets of Miami has gone on and become a form of the competition itself with many amateur fights taking place under legal promotions. Moreover, StreetBeef Scrapyard has become one of the leading promotions to organize these bouts.

Thus, it was no surprise when the promotion decided to organize a fight that left fans wondering why the fight went ahead. The bout was a boxing match between a Seattle native named Malik Ogun and Spanaway native named Seco. On paper, the two had similar physical attributes but the difference in skill was clearly visible.

The fight started off with both fighters measuring each other’s skills. However, as the fight progressed the difference in their levels started growing. Ogun, being the more muscular and skilled boxer started dominating Seco eventually landing a right hand that would knock the Spanaway boxer out cold.

Following this, Ogun went to console his fallen opponent, who was visibly shaken and needed a few minutes to recover. This sent the fans into a frenzy who called out the mismatch as they reacted to this knockout.

Fans react to the Backyard boxing match

One fan pointed out the obvious saying that this fight was an ‘awful mismatch’ and could have ended the match at any point in time.

“Awful mismatch could be seen in the first 10 seconds. Someone is trying to build a fighter up with cans.” he wrote.

Another fan claimed that the fight showed the difference a little bit of boxing training could do. He also added that he knew Seco would lose just after seeing him throw a single punch.

“A little bit of boxing training vs no boxing training. Could tell ponytail was going to lose with that first jab he threw.” he wrote.

DIVE DEEPER

One fan even went as far as speculating that the fight was not fair. He stated that the fighters did not look like they were of the same weight.

“There is no way those dudes were both 165. If black dude is 165 he’s about 5’2”, and he’s clearly taller than his opponent.” he wrote.

Lastly, one fan tried to mock the fight sarcastically stating that the fighters were equally matched.

“Wow, they were so equally matched!” he wrote.

The fans were quick to point out the discrepancy between the two and call out the organizers for this. Moreover, this goes to show that street fighting is far from making inroads into legitimate combat sports.
