Showtime Sports knows what it’s doing with this Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley card — that’s why they followed up on the not so great Tommy Fury vs. Anthony Taylor sideshow with a great match like Ivan Baranchyk vs. Montana Love.
Love was a +150 underdog coming into this fight and survived some serious trouble early on, only to come back hard in the third round to start taking over the fight. He stunned Baranchyk in the seventh round with a counter left hook that dropped the former world champ and piled on so much damage that Baranchyk’s corner was forced to call the fight between rounds.
Take a look at some highlights:
