For four rounds, not much happened in the exhibition fight between Le’Veon Bell and Adrian Peterson.
Then Le’Veon landed a massive right hand that had Adrian Peterson seeing stars.
The ref did the right thing in calling off the fight because Peterson had no idea where he was.
Here is how the fight came about.
Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell won’t be on the football field during Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.
But the two big-name running backs will still be competing against one another — just in a different sport.
Peterson and Bell, both of whom are free agents, will duke it out in an exhibition boxing match this weekend at a Social Gloves Entertainment event.
Peterson, whose resume includes seven Pro Bowl appearances, four All-Pro nods and an MVP award, is fifth on the NFL’s all-time rushing leaderboard. Bell, meanwhile, has made three Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams over eight pro seasons.
The two have made successful livings out of avoiding tacklers. But now, they’ll be the ones delivering the hits.
Peterson and Bell aren’t the only notable athletes who will be in the ring at Banc of California Stadium as former NBA guard Nick “Swaggy P” Young is also scheduled to fight. He’ll face off against Malcolm Minikon. Young’s original opponent was Blueface, but the rapper couldn’t compete after not being issued a boxing license from the California State Athletic Commission.
Young played 12 seasons in the NBA, suiting up for the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets. He won a title with Golden State in 2017-18.
In the end for the very few people in attendance at least they got a knockout and hopefully the checks cleared for both AD and Le’Veon Bell.
Those bills aren’t going to pay themselves.
