Current, former Sixers react to Nate Robinson fight, Snoop commentary

Current and former members of the Philadelphia 76ers reacted to the Nate Robinson knockout as well as Snoop Dogg’s commentary.

Boxing has always been a sport that attracts a lot of hype. From the weigh in to the training to the trash-talking, there is always a lot involved with the fight even for the undercards to the main event. On Saturday, the main event was Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr., but the undercard received a lot of attention as well.

The undercard was an interesting one on Saturday night as it included former NBA player Nate Robinson taking on former YouTuber Jake Paul so it had a few celebrities going at it. There was a lot of interest in this one from current and former NBA players, for obvious reasons.

Unfortunately, the fight lasted all of 1 round as Paul hit Robinson with a brutal right hook in Round 2 and knocked him out. The knockout had some reactions from the Philadelphia 76ers as Joel Embiid was definitely watching.

Former Sixers guard Evan Turner, who was the 2nd overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, saw Robinson go down, and now he wants to get in the ring with Paul as well.

On top of the craziness that went down on the field, there was commentary from rapper Snoop Dogg and his reactions were legendary. He translated his brilliance on the microphone to the commentary on the fights and rookie Tyrese Maxey was loving it.

Another former Sixer, Josh Richardson who was just sent to the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 18, was on the floor with Snoop’s commentary and jokes.

Richardson went so far as to make a plea to ESPN to get them to sign him.

It was clear that Saturday night was a lot of fun and that Snoop Dogg needs to commentate an NBA game at some point. [lawrence-related id=39613,39610,39594]
