Le’Veon Bell vs. Adrian Peterson live results, highlights

Round 5

1:14 a.m.: LE’VEON BELL KNOCKS OUT ADRIAN PETERSON! Out of nowhere, Bell was able to land a punch that ended the fight. 

Round 4

1:13 a.m.: It’s been a pretty even fight overall, although nothing of note has really happened. It was a little more of the same, with each fighter getting in a few jabs, but no punches with any real power behind them. Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell obviously have some strength, but it takes some talent to convert that into power punches. We’re on to the final round of the fight.

Round 3

1:10 a.m.: Round 3 is complete. A few more punches were landed, but there isn’t much weight behind them. As the announcers said, neither boxer has “landed anything of validity.” Nothing to make you impressed with their boxing skills. 

Round 2

1:06 a.m.: A little more action, but not much. When Le’Veon Bell fell down it was not officially called a knockdown, although it did look like Adrian Peterson was the cause for it. Either way, it was yet another round with very little action. We’ve got three more rounds to go.

1:05 a.m.: We’ve got some action! Le’Veon Bell took a bit of a tumble in the second round. Although it looked more like he may have just tripped.

Round 1

1:04 a.m.: As the announcers said at the end of the round: “nothing.” Not a whole lot happened in this first round. No real big punches, no one really got hit. I wish I could provide more information, but that was an extremely lackluster round of boxing.

1:03 a.m.: The broadcasters point out that Adrian Peterson still has a desire to return to the NFL after this boxing match. AP says he’d want to play for the Bills, Rams, or 49ers.

1:02 a.m.: Le’Veon Bell is somehow having an issue with his mouth piece. His trainer can be heard shouting towards him to bite down on it to keep it in place. 

1:01 a.m.: The fight between former NFL running backs is officially underway.
