The long-awaited showdown between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is finally here. Moreover, so far, all the fights taking place have managed to stir the hearts of boxing fans. Whether it is Alan Sanchez vs Angel Beltran or Shadasia Green vs Olivia Curry, both fights gave fans what they came to witness, pure unadulterated boxing. However, the first K.O. of the night only came from the hands of the 19-year-old undefeated prospect, Ashton Sylve. With such undercards, people are definitely getting their money’s worth.
The fight between ‘H2O’ and ‘Baby Face’ was rather short-lived. However, it was not without its moments and even though William Silva had experience on his side, Sylve was unfazed and showed his true might in the ring. Even though the 36-year-old Brazilian fighter had experience on his side, the Long Beach, Californian boxer, handed him a defeat, with his calculated jabs and body shots.

Moreover, Silva was knocked down two times in just 4 rounds. What’s more, he went down both times with similar punches to the solar plexus. In a manner reminiscent of the way Gervonta Davis knocked down Ryan Garcia previously, ‘H2O’ knocked down the 6’1 boxer two times, finally putting a nail in the coffin during the fourth round. He proficiently used his jabs to gauge the distance and then used his speed to land a powerful body shot, impressing everyone witnessing the event. What’s more, is that he even hit the ‘griddy’ after the win!
