Live updates: Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, Netflix boxing match in Miami

The Beaudoin corner is working on that left eye, which looks sore.

We’re back underway in the ring, but the Netflix show is keeping a ringside interview going as the women get to work.

Baumgardner is just holding the centre ground.

BIG SHOT FROM BAUMGARDNER!

That’s a good shot from the champion.

Beaudoin is trying to move but Baumgardner is closing the space perfectly.

Beaudoin looks like her left eye is swelling, that last shot really found its mark.

Beaudoin jabs but only against the guard,

Baumgardner has just eased off the pressure a little and Beaudoin is catching her breath.

And the Canadian goes back to the jab.

Good jab and then a right by Beaudoin land, but Baumgardner counters really nicely.

Beaudoin comes forward off the jab.

Baumgardner lands to the head with the right, targeting that reddening left eye.

Right from Beaudoin lands.

Good from Baumgardner, two shots land.

Beaudoin with a couple of jabs there too, she’s doing that well.

Baumgardner with a counter that lands.

Baumgardner is starting to assert herself there.

Beaudoin lands but Baumgarder lands with a really good solid shot that put Beaudoin back a bit.

Good right from Baumgardner again.

Another right that just misses from Baumgardner. She’s looking for that shot a lot more than perhaps she should be, I’d like to see a bit more jabbing to be honest.

Here we go – a real sense of occasion here for this co-main.

Beaudoin goes to the jab early. Nice stuff from the challenger.

Baumgarder jabs.

Beaudoin jabs too.

Tentative stuff so far.

Beaudoin goes body and head.

Baumgardner jabs too.

Fascinating to see how the women adapt to three minute rounds – women’s bouts are normally all action from the start and that’s where Baumgardner is so dangerous.

Good jabs from Beaudoin.

Good double jab from Beaudoin.

Baumgardner jabs and comes in behind that jab.

Beaudoin misses with an overhand right.

Baumgardner comes in off the jab and misses with a right follow up – twice.

Beaudoin lands the jab.

Baumgardner comes in behind the jab but Beaudoin evades nicely with good footwork.

That’s the opening round – I liked Beaudoin in that round.

I’m always a fan of weird and wacky walk ons.

This is right up there though.

Baumgardner is walking to the ring with a man in a bow tie playing a violin behind her.

Bring back the violin to popular culture. I love it.

Right, a game-changing fight coming up next.

American legend Alycia Baumgardner (16-1, 7KOs) is meeting Canadian Leila Beaudoin (13-1, 2KOs) Leila Beaudoin for the unified super featherweight titles.

Beaudoin is an interesting story, a former downhill skier, she turned her attention to boxing for fitness work and ended up discovering she had an aptitude for it.

This is her first world title fight.

However, for the first time, this will be fought under men’s championship fight rules, as in 12, three-minute rounds as opposed to 10, two-minute rounds.

Baumgardner was the undisputed champion at this weight.

But the WBC is not a fan of women fighting three-minutes per round and stripped her of that belt.

It’s a big change – the fight could go for 36 minutes as opposed to 20 minutes.

That’s a massive difference in terms of the fitness and endurance requirements.

It is a movement that is progressing in women’s boxing.

We’ll see how it goes.

In an exclusive interview with ABC Sport Daily during the week, Anthony Joshua told host Pat Stack that he has found clarity heading into this fight.

“You know, my mind is back to being focused on boxing,” Joshua said.

“And I understand what I have to do.

“I understand what’s gonna happen, and my mind’s clear.

“I’m looking forward to performing, because my mind’s clear again.”

Clear enough to swat aside Jake Paul, perhaps.

But in doing so he sent out a chilling warning that his opponent may well get seriously hurt.

Here is Jake Paul.

“Yeah it’s definitely feels a little different,” Jake Paul says.

“There’s nerves. This is as big as it gets, this is as tough as it gets.

“But I love challenging myself and rising to the occasion.”

He says that he is going to be ready to go when the time comes.

“I’m listening to meditation music, keeping the heartrate low,” he says.

As for a game plan?

“I think it’s frustrating him, boxing on the outside, and exposing his defence.

“Fifth, sixth, seventh round, I’m putting him to sleep.”

Tyron Woodley is speaking now.

He says he didn’t like the decision and he wanted to be “carried out on my shield”.

He even says that he was shouting at his coach to let them continue.

But then says, “They made the right call.”

Correct.

Incidentally, both men said they’d be keen to keep on fighting and meet someone else in the ring.

I like that stoppage.

The referee gave Woodley every chance to show that he was still able to carry on, but the American refused to look at him – either because he couldn’t or he wouldn’t.

And as he was walking away he just didn’t look right.

He said to start things up again, the fighters touched gloves but Woodley still didn’t look right.

The referee took all that into account and called it off before Silva could land another shot and do more damage.

The only decision that needed to be made.

Woodley isn’t happy about it.

But he still doesn’t look right as the referee raises his opponent’s hand.

“I have young kids to push me hard every day, a great team in Brazil, a great coach, and I’m happy to be here.

“I just tried to take my time, my distance.

“I’m lucky, but lucky is people training hard.”

It’s hard not to like Anderson Silva — apart from the alleged steroid use in his career.

He loves his team and brings other people up with him though, which is nice.

Both men come in and look a bit more active.

Silva jumps about a bit.

He jabs a couple of times. Woodley throws a right and misses.

Silva jabs, he’s dominating the centre ring.

BANG GOES SILVA!

WOODLEY IS DOWN!

A furious flurry of shots from Silva and Woodley couldn’t stand up to it.

It was a massive, massive right uppercut, then he landed a couple more shots.

The referee has a long look.

A long, long look.

IT’S OVER!

The referee waves it off!

Anderson Silva looks good for a 50-year-old. Doesn’t look bad for a 30-year-old, either.

Both men have knockout power, that’s the last thing to go, but it’s a cagey start.

Woodley jabs to the body. Misses.

Gets that one through though, good jab.

Woodley goes upstairs and Silva moves back out of range.

Woodley comes in with another belly jab.

The crowd are booing due to the lack of action.

Woodley gets a cheer as he comes in and works the belly.

Silva is pushing Woodley into the corner just by force of will, and throws his first punch of the round to the body, a left.

Woodley comes in and jabs but is caught on the way out.

More boos ring out as both men stay apart until Woodley lands a jab.

Slow first round.

This is not a boxing match I’d have ever been that keen to see to be honest either, two aged former MMA fighters taking each other on with boxing gloves on.

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, 43, has fought Jake Paul twice in the boxing ring.

He lost, twice.

Anderson Silva is one of the all time UFC greats, a middleweight UFC champion for six years, one of the longest reigns of all time, Brazilian legend Silva is 50 years old.

Anyway, this is where we are, so let’s get on with it.

Six rounds at cruiserweight, so we’re told.

He also lost to Jake Paul in boxing.

Hard to argue with Nakisa Bidarian, the CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, here.

Boxing is far from immune from wildly unusual fights taking place between the most unlikely of opponents.

For example, Muhammed Ali’s bout with Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki in 1976.

Inoki laid on the floor and essentially spent the entire fight kicking Ali’s legs in that one – a real classic that was somehow scored a draw, presumably as a result of body having a single clue about what was going on.

But there have been more.

There was the farcical match-up between Trevor Berbick and Nobuhiko Takada in 1991.

Berbick had been told Takada could not kick him below the belt so, when the Japanese fighter did so, the heavyweight just walked out.

More farce? OK then.

George Foreman once fought against five different men on the same night in 1975.

Oscar De La Hoya and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neill fight with headguards on in 2009.

And Floyd Mayweather made an absurd money-grabbing assault on sporting decency when he battered peroxide super lightweight kick boxer Tenshin Nasukawa — who was not allowed to kick — in 2018.

All hideous examples of boxing’s descent into farce.

At least, some would say, this is taking place under “proper” rules.

Here are the scorecards.

All three judges have it 60-53.

It wasn’t the hardest fight to score…

The Paris Olympian moves to 2-0.

Keep your eyes out for Jahmal Harvey – he’ll be a name to look out for.

“I’m pleased, I dominated all rounds,” he says in the ring.

“I got a bit carried away there, tried to get him out of there.

“I was getting frustrated. Usually I put guys away, he kept coming. Kudos to him.”

Dominant performance from Jahmal Harvey.

I scored that 60-53.

A complete shut out.

 But let’s see what the judges say.
