Gib, who was stopped by Jake Paul on his professional debut in January 2020, stole the show Stateside as he recovered from an early setback.
McBroom, whose Social Gloves company was promoting the event, landed a massive right hand early on to send the Saudi Arabian-born content creator to the floor.
But from the third round onwards it was all Gib as he dropped the 30-year-old twice.
McBroom then hit the deck three times the following round with a straight right from Gib leaving the California native sprawled across the canvas.

Paul, 25, meanwhile is set to face UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his comeback fight on October 29.
But he is still calling for a grudge match against KSI and is willing to cross enemy lines to do so.
He said: “KSI, I’ve always said it that you can be the A-Side for your ego.
“Obviously you have an ego issue, I don’t give a f*** about being the A-Side.
“We all know who the real A-Side is – I just want to knock you the f*** out, I’ll do it in your own country.
“I’ll let you be the A-Side because it doesn’t matter when it’s all said and done and you’re asleep on the f***ing canvas.”

KSI’s return to the ring drew around 230,000 pay-per-view buys on DAZN in the UK, Ireland and the US, according to The Mirror.
But it means he failed to out-sell rival Paul, who attracted in excess of 500,000 buys for his fights against Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
Despite what should be seen as a big win for Paul, the American still sent KSI a classy message on Twitter.
The Problem Child tweeted: “Bulls**t aside, the PPV business ain’t easy.

“Congrats to KSI and his boxing company. Those are great numbers.
“The day we finally settle this, it will break the internet and do some big PPV numbers on Showtime. I’m ready as soon as he feels he is.”

Paul’s message didn’t go down too well with KSI, who fired back saying”we are not the same”, and accused his rival of trying to “sabotage” his last event.
KSI replied: “Yeah this is cap. I can literally see your numbers and ours.

“We beat your last fight by a HUGE amount ppv wise.
“Even with your team trying hard to sabotage the event and me having to fight 2 randoms last minute. We are not the same.”
A fight between the two has been one of the hot topics ever since KSI’s win over Jake’s older brother Logan a few years ago.
Paul says KSI should focus on getting ready to face him instead of throwing around accusations.
He said: “If you actually think we tried to ‘sabotage’ your event, then you are dumber than you look.
“I’m glad you admit they were randoms with no boxing skills though.
“Honesty comes out in turmoil. Again congrats.
“Now shut up and keep trying to get ready. HUGE hahahaha.”
But before the pair can fight, Paul will be taking on ex-UFC star Anderson Silva on October 29. More
