      Creator Clash 2 – Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz LIVE RESULTS: Wassabi WINS, ex-WWE star John Morrison picks up KO victory

      by

      CREATOR CLASH returned for round two on Saturday night, and it was an absolute thriller!Alex Wassabi picked up a majority decision win in the main event against iDubbbz, while ex-WWE star John Morrison beat Harley Morenstein from Epic Meal Time by KO.
      Relive ALL the action with our live blog below…
      Henner time
      John Hennigan called out KSI and slammed the Paul brothers after his explosive win at Creator Clash.
      The former WWE star, 43, dominated Harley Morenstein in their bout in Tampa, Florida on Saturday night.
      Hennigan put his opponent on the canvas three times in the opening three rounds before the fight was called off.
      And wrestler Hennigan called out KSI for a fight after his dominant win on the pay-per-view event.
      Dad jokes
      Nathan Barnatt called out the “entire WWE” and took a swipe at Logan Paul after his dominant Creator Clash win Saturday night.
      The YouTuber star known as Dad won his fight against AB Starkilla on the pay-per-view event in Tampa, Florida.
      And the 42-year-old claimed he had a signed WWE contract “for the last ten years” and accused WWE stars of avoiding him.
      Silent fight
      Boxing fans complained about the quality of their Creator Clash streams for the big event on Saturday.
      Viewers who paid $35 for the pay-per-view event in Tampa claimed there were audio issues.
      That’s all she wrote
      And that’s the end of the action tonight.
      It’s been quite a night of action in Florida. All in the name of charity too.
      Tearful
      IDubbbz breaks down in his post-fight interview. He gets a huge roar from the crowd.
      “I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but I really do appreciate everyone and thank you for coming.”

      Wassabi says
      “That was the fight I wanted.
      “I took a few bumps, he took a few bumps. But we came out and gave you a show and raised some f**king money for charity.”
      Wassabi wins!
      It’s a majority decision. 39-37 on two cards, the other was a 38-38 draw.
      Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz
      The final bell goes! A really good fight in the end when it looked after round one that it would be one-way traffic.
      The fighters hug in the ring and we go to the scorecards.
      Alex has probably won this.
      Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz
      Three rounds down, one to go.
      And it looks like Alex is the man who’s feeling the pace a bit – he seems to be blowing a bit heavier.
      His corner tell him “you’re way too good for this to be a draw.”
      That must mean they think iDubbbz won the last round.
      It’s all on the fourth and final round.
      Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz
      A much better round for iDubbbz, he came out with a different intensity and caught Alex a few times to start that round.
      Alex finished strong but he didn’t have that one all his own way. A close round.
      Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz
      Dominant opening round from Wassabi. He caught his opponent almost every time he threw.
      Complete control so far in this fight and iDubbbz was rocked a few times.
      Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz
      Ding! Round 1 is underway.
      Anthem time
      SuperMega have just performed one of the worst renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve heard.
      But the crowd still love it.
      We’re ready for the fight of the night.
      In the ring
      Alex Wassabi is here and ready to roll.
      iDubbbz is on his way to the arena next.
      Main event time
      We have one fight to go!
      It’s the main event – it’s Alex Wassabi vs iDubbbz.
      What an event it’s been, and it’s not over yet.
      John says
      “Boxing is different from wrestling and stunt choreo. I know how hard I worked, I know how hard Harley worked. I have all the respect in the world for that man.
      “There are some influencer boxers I have zero respect for. Jake Paul, Logan Paul. They make me sick. Overnight tough guys. The entire Misfits boxings. Jake Paul got beat. Logan got beat by KSI, which is why I’m going to put KSI on blast right now. You hear me? Come on.”
      IT’S OVER!
      A MASSIVE right hand. John Hennigan wins!
      The referee waves it off straight away as soon as it lands.
      That fight was one-way traffic. Hennigan a dominant winner.
      John Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      Harley has somehow survived the round.
      But he’s been knocked down in each of the opening two rounds and is clinging on for dear life.
      John Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      HUGE right hand! Harley is down again in round two.
      This one might be over soon.
      John Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      Down goes Harley! He’s out the ring!
      Hennigan lands a huge right hand and it sends him flying out of the ring.
      Harley is saved by the bell. Hennigan dominant.
      John Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      “This is just a psychopath out there,” is the word from the commentary as Harley emerges from the crowd.
      He’s walking down the steps in the arena towards the ring with a menacing look in his eye.
      John Randall Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      Hennigan is led out by Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
      The WWE legend ring-walking him in.
      Morenstein walks out after appearing from the crowd.
      John Hennigan vs Harley Morenstein
      Here we go for the co main event.
      The fighters are on their way to the ring – and Hacksaw Jim Duggan is here to help his former WWE pal John.
      Leonhart vs Ethan Nestor
      Ethan Nestor lands a big right hand on the ear of Leonhart.
      It rocks his opponent and as Ethan follows it up with punches it is plain to see that Leonhart is not responding as he should.
      Smart move by the referee to stop it.

      Question marks over the scores
      Joe Joyce was beaten and battered by Zhilei Zhang across six brutal rounds at the Copper Box.
      But incredibly one judge had the Brit WINNING against the Chinese heavyweight before Joyce was pulled out.
      Joyce’s right eye was horribly swollen and he could barely see as Big Bang Zhang went to town on the Putney powerhouse.
      Somehow, though, one judge had Joyce in front, sparking fury among fans.
      One said: “Joyce up by one… never in a million years.”
      Another wrote: “Whichever judge has Joyce up on the scorecard should probably be investigated.”
      At last
      Hall of Fame trainer Teddy Atlas believes Anthony Joshua might feel more enticed to fight Joyce now.
      He tweeted: “Silver lining in every dark cloud, and for Joyce it might be that this poor performance will now entice Joshua to fight him.”

      Joshing around
      Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has reacted to Joyce’s stoppage loss.
      He posted a picture of AJ with the words: “Been there done it and seen it all.”

      Good Joyce ref
      Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan believes Joyce would have been knocked out had the fight continued any longer.
      He wrote on Twitter: “Zhang was always going to be dangerous early on BUT I genuinely did not believe he could hurt Joyce the way he did.
      “Had the ref let the fight go on he would have KO’ed Joyce because he couldn’t see the Zhang backhand and his right hook was shaking Joe badly.”

      Not worth the weight
      Former cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli believes Joyce dropping weight proved to be his downfall.
      Maccarinelli tweeted: “Great performance by Zhang he was excellent from the start can see his pedigree but I still believe Joyce losing a stone in weight didn’t help him in there tonight don’t know if it would’ve changed anything but I just think it was a wrong move.”

      Chis to that
      Derek Chisora has called out Zhilei Zhang.
      Chisora refused to retire following defeat to Tyson Fury in December and has set his sights on Zhang.
      He tweeted: “I want this fight. Chinese power.”

      Cold call
      Coach Dave Coldwell reckons Joyce’s fan-friendly style caught up to him.
      Coldwell tweeted: “Again, Joe Joyce was great to watch from a fans point of view. Tough as nails.
      “But If you have no defence you’re going to pick up damage.”

      How about it
      Referee Howard Foster has been praised by trainer Shane McGuigan for stopping the fight when he did.
      McGuigan tweeted: “Nasty eye there! Hoping Joyce is ok & speedy recovery.
      “Zhang was calm with his attacks & performed great. Great call from Howard Foster.”

      Being Frank
      Joyce’s promoter Frank Warren has backed the beaten heavyweight to bounce back from defeat.
      Warren tweeted: “Two absolute warriors who deserve all the credit in the world.
      “Joyce will be back no questions. Congratulations to Zhilei Zhang whose been an absolute credit to himself.”

      Croll to be kind
      Ex-world champion Anthony Crolla has hailed Joyce for his classy response to defeat.
      Crolla tweeted: “Joe Joyce handled that unbelievably well post fight. Thought Zhang was very good, left hand was some weapon.
      “Was Joe a bit too light?? Would of he got to Zhang second half of fight?? Credit to Zhang tho was a very good performance.”
      Credit: Richard Pelham / The Sun
      At last
      Hall of Fame trainer Teddy Atlas believes Anthony Joshua might feel more enticed to fight Joyce now.
      He tweeted: “Silver lining in every dark cloud, and for Joyce it might be that this poor performance will now entice Joshua to fight him.”

      Ben there done than
      Tyson Fury’s former coach Ben Davison was full of praise for Zhang’s tactics in the fight.
      Davison tweeted: “Zhang is a clever fighter. Created a comfortable environment before making Joe pay, Rinsed and repeated.
      “Neglected the body which may have taken Joes work rate away from him down the stretch… if it got there.
      “Gutted for Joe, of course, he’s a topman, He’ll be back.”

      Closing out
      Joe Joyce’s world title dreams were shut down with his battered right eye by Zhilei Zhang in a bloody shock.
      The 37-year-old Putney ace just needed to come through the 39-year-old Chinese southpaw to secure a summer showdown with ringside Dillian Whyte, before finally securing a world title shot in the winter.
      But he made a typically terrible start to the bout, was battered for almost every moment of the six one-sided rounds and had to be pulled out by the referee on advice from the doctor.
      The fact he was still standing after the second round was incredible but Joyce’s famously solid chin just meant his eyes were left to absorb all of the punishment.
      With Joyce’s mother registered blind, the idea of him suffering serious long-term damage like that was too much to bear for anyone watching, with knowledge of the family.
      So there was relief when our Rio 2016 Olympic silver winner was pulled out of the fight – without going out on his shield.

      Joyce words
      Zhang says: “Today belongs to me. It belongs to everyone who showed up, belongs to every Chinese that showed up.
      “Im 39 years old but I’m disciplined, I train hard. Next step I’m gong for the title.”
      Joyce says: “I’m just disappointed with my performance.
      “The right hand he just kept hitting me with, I just couldn’t get out of the way so respect for Zhilei Zhang big bang.
      “I twas a good fight, I could have done better because I haven’t fought a southpaw for so long but credit to him because he’s a good fighter.

      It was his second straight boxing victory having beaten Matt Watson last summer.
      And the 42-year-old claimed he had a signed WWE contract “for the last ten years” and accused WWE stars of avoiding him.
      He said in the ring: “I would like to call out the entire company of the WWE.
      “If you know me and you’ve been watching me for 20 years on YouTube then you’ll know the WWE sent me a signed contract twice.

      “I still have that contract signed.
      “Triple H knows me, Vince McMahon knows me, half the roster knows me.
      “They’ve been dancing around me for 10 years and I’m not waiting any more.”
      Dad then turned his attention to Seth Rollins and his WrestleMania showdown with Logan Paul.

      “How about you go toe to toe with a boxer, a YouTuber from the original days, who actually wins his fights?
      “I’ll be waiting for you at the front doors of your training facility until you answer.” More
