Adversity and challenges are something that both pound-for-pound boxing star Canelo Alvarez and reigning Super Bowl champion Odell Beckham Jr. have in common. One of the best boxers in the world, the Mexican star lost in a bout against Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light heavyweight title on Saturday. The loss marks only the second loss of his professional boxing career and almost 9 years after his first loss against Floyd Mayweather. OBJ [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/odell-beckham-jr/] was full of praise for Alvarez and his bold attempt to accept a fight away from his weight class. The former Rams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/los-angeles-rams-nfl/] WR was impressed with his fighting ability and put out a couple of tweets. He states [https://twitter.com/obj/status/1523160607939186688?s=24&t=8_XZhSUYEYvxlYRgkvvh9A], “This fight was tough! Heart of a Lion.” and praises Bivol for his sharpness during the bout. Both OBJ and Alvarez were once overwhelming favorites in their respective careers. But while they suffered setbacks, they have always shown their quality to come back from them. OBJ has had a stop-start career in the NFL after being plagued with injuries but has since achieved his dream of becoming a Super Bowl champion. ODELL BECKHAM JR. FEELS FOR CANELO ALVAREZ AFTER HIS UPSET The bout was more than an upset for Alvarez and shatters his dreams of conquering all the belts. Similarly, OBJ has been a man with many shattered dreams due to his inability to stay fit consistently. The wideout was unable to capitalize on his impressive rookie season and had his issues throughout his career in the league. Phoenix Suns Bury Dallas Mavericks at NBA Playoffs 2022 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-odell-beckham-jr-dons-devin-booker-jersey-sits-courtside-as-phoenix-suns-bury-dallas-mavericks-at-nba-playoffs-2022/] Despite being an overwhelming favorite [https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12608213/saul-canelo-alvarez-suffers-shock-defeat-to-dmitry-bivol-in-light-heavyweight-title-clash-in-las-vegas], Alvarez failed to breach his opponent’s superior defensive game plan. Bivol was the bigger fighter and was flawless in his performance against Canelo. Despite having a win at light heavyweight in 2019, Alvarez was visibly frustrated and felt helpless throughout the fight. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-05-08T052408Z_1847443264_MT1USATODAY18228381_RTRMADP_3_BOXING-CANELO-VS-BIVOL.jpeg] It is an interesting analysis from the former Browns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/cleveland-browns/] WR, who has put in adverse situations himself throughout his career. The Canelo fans will be hoping that he comes swinging back again whenever another such opportunity comes calling. The Canelo-Bivol fight will be something that even the NFL fans will remember in the future for their greatness.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Cleveland Browns were founded by Paul Brown and businessman Arthur B. McBride as a charter member of the All-American Football Conference in 1945. The early days of the AAFC were dominated by the Browns as they racked up an impressive 47-4-3 record through the league’s four seasons.  The Browns continued their dominance through the dissolution of the AAFC and joined up the NFL alongside the San Francisco 49’ers and the Baltimore Colts.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497445 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230182931/take.jpg" alt="" width="747" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The club won their inaugural NFL season as well as the 1954, 1955, 1964 seasons. What’s more, they managed to pull off an unmatched feat by playing in their league championship game in each of the Browns’ first ten years of existence. However, the Browns weren’t able to maintain their upward trajectory much longer as they didn’t win another championship from 1965 to 1995 despite making the NFL playoffs 14 times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have continually struggled to find success. They have had only one playoff appearance in 2002 and only three winning seasons in 2002, 2007, and 2020. Additionally, there have been no playoff wins and winning less than one-third of their games in totality.  What’s more, the front office hasn’t seen much stability either with multiple Head Coaching changes since 1999 (10 full time and two interim).</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497448 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183202/baker.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

The Cleveland Browns have improved on their 6-10 season from 2019 going 11-5 in 2020 and placed third in the AFC North. The franchise went on to win the Wild  Card round by upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers winning out 48-37.

However, they went on to lose the divisional playoffs to the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs 17-22.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The 1970s saw the Browns use their orange helmet as the logo with a facemask. In 1986, the franchise went for a dramatic overhaul that saw a more 3-D helmet model and an updated facemask. Some of the shadows were removed from the logo and the angle was altered in 1993.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183007/sharp.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1151" />
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have made quite a few changes to their logos. After the 2005 season, the team made a slight adjustment to the orange color of the helmet and to the grey facemask. A more recent iteration of the Cleveland Browns identity came in the form of a ‘safety’ orange-colored helmet.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Jimmy Arthur Haslam III is a sports executive who is the co-owner of the Cleveland Browns alongside his wife Dee Haslam. Additionally, he’s the CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain. His father, Jim Haslam founded the Pilot Corporation in 1958 as the Pilot Oli Corporation.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497450 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183320/haslam.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1238" />
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, and in 2012 he went on to purchase the Cleveland Browns for $1 billion. Forbes magazine valued the Browns at $977 million in 2011. The NFL rules prohibit ownership of multiple teams so Haslam sold his interest in the Steelers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">FirstEnergy Corp comes out as the naming rights sponsor of the Cleveland Browns. Arby’s Foundation had a tie-up with the Browns foundation wherein 520 students in need received free WiFi for one year to help a student who is engaged in their education and remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Browns also have a deal with Splash Financial with a goal to help fans save money on their student loans. Moreover, Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS), a leading Cleveland based provider of merchant services and payment processing solutions. Through the partnership, EMS and the Browns have hosted the annual toy drive to benefit thousands of local kids during the holiday season.</p>

Odell Beckham Jr.

Who is Odell Beckham Jr.? Odell Beckham Jr. is a wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens and is commonly known as OBJ. He was initially drafted by the New York Giants in the 2014 NFL Draft, where he was the 12th overall pick in the first round. OBJ was the third WR to be selected that day. He has played for four teams during his almost decade-long career. This helped him earn the Rookie of the Year award in 2014, and win the Super Bowl LVI (2021 season) with the Los Angeles Rams, before joining his current team after ACL injury. An interesting fact about OBJ is that he grew up playing not only football but also soccer. His favorite player as a kid was English soccer star, David Beckham. Odell Beckham Jr.&#8217;s early life and background Odell Beckham Jr. was born on November 5, 1993, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Heather Van Norman and Odell Beckham Sr. His athletic genes come from both his parents. On one hand, his mom was a star athlete during her college years. She was an All-American track sensation at LSU from 1991 to 1993. On the other hand, Odell Beckham Sr. was a football player. He was an outstanding running back at LSY between 1989 and 1992. His stepdad Derek Mills is also a known sportsperson. He competed in the Olympics and won a gold medal as part of the 400-meter relay team in 1996. From his mom&#8217;s side, he has a sister named Jasmyne Mills who is a student at Arizona State University, majoring in interior design. From his dad&#8217;s side, he has three siblings. Two brothers named Kordell and Sonny and one sister named Summer. Kordell is an influencer and model with over 50k followers on Instagram. 08 MAY 2014: Odell Beckham Jr accompanied by Heather Van Norman on the red carpet prior to the first round at the 2014 NFL American Football Herren USA Draft.

Since his high school days, he participated in a variety of sports including football, basketball, and track.

Expensive things owned by Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. has had multiple properties to his name. After he was drafted to the New York Giants in 2014, he bought a three-story, 3529 sq ft house in the area of Hudson County. Along with a great outside view, the house also had an exceptional master suite connecting to a walk-in steam. However, with his shift to the Cleveland Browns, the WR was quick to give up his property. The property owned by OBJ in Cleveland was much larger and more expensive in comparison to his previous home. He bought the 13,800 sq ft spread house for $1.6 million, hosting 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. It also had a 3-car garage space along with a poor outside. Beckham Jr. specifically had a room dedicated to his clothes and other dressing items in this house. This was besides the movie theatre in the house, which also could be converted into a golf simulator, a game room, a gym, and an office. While he shifted to LA in 2021, the house was listed in 2022 for a price of $3.3 million. The current home of the football player is not publicly known. Ever since joining the Ravens, the WR hasn&#8217;t bought a permanent place to stay in the view of potentially getting traded after the one-year contract. Hence, no certainty surrounds his decision of living space yet.
