The story
In a heavyweight boxing match between former professional basketball players, Michael Beasley secured a win against Delonte West on Friday night. The bout took place at the Adin Ross-promoted Brand Risk 16 event in Florida.
Beasley, standing 6-foot-10, utilized his reach advantage against the 6-foot-3 West throughout the opening round. After West initiated pressure with several unsuccessful haymakers, Beasley landed a series of short punches that sent West to the canvas. West was unable to beat the referee's count, resulting in a stoppage.
Following the conclusion of the fight, West commented to the ring announcer regarding his need for Narcan. This appearance marked Beasley's second participation in a Brand Risk event, following an MMA bout against Lance Stephenson earlier this year.
