The way it stands, Sean Strickland can’t be faulted for thinking, where at all did it go wrong? He had clearly beaten the nightmares out of Nico Kenn De Ballinthazy, or more commonly, Sneako. The famed YouTuber, TikToker, and ‘Tarzan’ faced off in a live-streamed boxing match. The result unfolded as expected. However, the former UFC champion’s inability to force an early stoppage against a fighting novice has put him at the receiving end of call-outs and slams.

From winning a light heavyweight bout to becoming the middleweight champion, Anaheim, California-born Sean Strickland had an outstanding run last year. However, he lost his crown to Dricus du Plessis on January 20 in Toronto, Canada. So he accepted the challenge when the influencer Sneako called him out for a bout. The duo met at the state-of-the-art UFC Performance Institute. Strickland pinned the influencer completely to total dominance. However, the latter stood his ground, never going down to the canvas. That was enough for ‘Tarzan to receive a million-dollar offer. But along with that came a little scorn and criticism.

“It’s embarrassing that he went that hard and still couldn’t Knock him down,” ‘The Hitman’ wrote taking up Happy Punch’s post. Cleary he was unhappy that the ‘Tarzan’ could knock down a person with barely any knowledge of fighting. Just like Sean Strickland, Slim Albaher also closed 2023 on a happy note. He participated in two fights last year, winning both. Especially the second triumph came up against fellow YouTuber and TikToker of renown Salt Papi.

Roughly two hours after his post came, ‘The Problem Child’ joined. His grouse against Strickland echoed similar sentiments. “Shawn Strickland you’re embarrassing for trying to stop Sneako like that you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out,” said Jake Paul.

Then blasting the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt for his poor boxing skills, he offered ‘Tarzan’ $1 million for a live-streamed fight in Puerto Rico: “You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people.. I’ll fly you to PR and we can fight on camera… if you win I’ll give you $1 million (half your net worth).”

But Jake Paul had a pre-condition as well and he felt that like Paddy Pimblett the former UFC middleweight champion might also eventually back out. ‘The Problem Child’ said, “But if you get dropped you have to get Betr tattooed on you. DM me. But just like paddy I’m guessing you’ll find a way to run.”
