Struggling against a huge underdog, Billy Joe Saunders punched his way out of a potential problem Saturday night. The brash British southpaw knocked down Marcelo Coceres three times in the 11th round and knocked out the tougher-than-advertised Argentinean challenger. Referee Ray Corona stopped their fight at 1:59 of the 11th round, as soon as Coceres hit the canvas for the third time.

Billy Joe Saunders, Marcelo Coceres Scorecard BoxingScene Live - KSI and Logan Paul stepped on the scale and faced off one last time before entering the ring tomorrow night as excitement builds for the rematch at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and exclusively on DAZN.

Logan Paul and KSI can say they hate each other all they want, but their bad blood was tailor made for them to make good business. Tasked with selling out Staples Center in Los Angeles and diversifying DAZN’s subscriber base, the two YouTubers and socialites will each earn $900,000 guaranteed for their exploits when they face each other in their pro debut Saturday, according to figures the California State Athletic Commision released to BoxingScene.com. The fighters also have clauses in their contracts that could make that figure even more lucrative depending on how well the show performs.
