Michael Beasley scores first-round TKO over Delonte West at Brand Risk 16

Former NBA stars Delonte West and Michael Beasley faced off at Brand Risk 16. Here is how it all went down.

Delonte West got knocked out by Michael Beasley Michael Beasley is a better boxer than Delonte West. On Friday night, Beasley and West squared off in a heavyweight boxing match at Brand Risk 16 in Miami, Fla. The two former NBA players had some history together, playing against each other in the NBA and the Chinese Basketball Association, and carried that association over into Adin Ross’ fight promotion, where Beasley won via first-round TKO. A former power forward, Beasley, at 6-foot-10, towered over West, the former point guard, who stands 6-foot-3, and he used that reach advantage to stay out of West’s range. Neither man showed much aptitude for boxing, but West attempted to force the issue by charging forward with wild haymakers. While West was able to land one good punch, that was about it, and he seemingly punched himself out, eventually falling to the canvas after eating a few short shots and then stumbling backward. West did not beat the 10-count to stand, causing the referee to call an end to the bout. Michael Beasley beats Delonte Westpic.twitter.com/JuemGEqaT9 — Jed I.

This was Beasley’s second foray into Brand Risk, having previously fought Lance Stephenson in an MMA bout at Brand Risk 14 in May.
