The rematch between AnEsonGib and Austin McBroom started off like a very competitive contest, but things changed in the third round and the bout ended in a bizarre way.
Revenge was on the mind for McBroom after he was dominated by Gib in their first meeting, and the former looked laser focused on his walk to the ring.
McBroom came out looking much more patient and balanced than he did in their first meeting. Gib was not able to get off a lot of his big offense early on as McBroom showed much better defensive movement. Gib landed a nice left hand at the end of the first, but it was a very competitive start.
The 33-year-old McBroom continued his measured strategy in the second, but became aggressive at points. Gib landed a big body shot, and McBroom answered with a flurry that stung his opponent towards the end of the second. The action picked up in the third as Gib turned the tide, landing a flurry, and a big body shot that badly hurt McBroom.
McBroom looked to be injured, and the referee started his count and McBroom couldn’t answer it, leading to a TKO stoppage for Gib who improves to 2-0 in the series.
