Saturday was packed with fights of all credibility and weirdness, from world champions to social media celebrities. So what’s next for some of the notables we saw in action yesterday?
Jake Paul
The guy who’s calling him out right now is Joe Fournier, the billionaire (reported (by himself), I don’t know or care really) entrepreneur who has had nine pro fights sort of at the same level Jake Paul has three pro fights. Fournier fought on Saturday, too, beating reggaeton artist Reykon via TKO after two rounds. Reykon had no clue what he was doing, but that about equals the guys Paul has fought.

The fight Frampton goes out on was an ambitious bid to win a world title in a third weight class, to add something more to his legacy in the ring, to put something more on his résumé. He was fighting small at 130 lbs; Carl frankly fought small even at 126, as he was a thickly-built but not tall guy at 122, where he was at his very best.
He was beaten soundly by a better fighter on the night against Herring, and he made no bones and no excuses about that.
“I just got beat by the better man. I really struggled to get inside him. He was sharpshooting from a distance, perfect game plan,” he said. “Zero excuses, I had an amazing camp, I was coming into this fight to win it. I was just beaten by the better man.”
