Aaron Carter arrived to battle. Lamar Odom simply overpowered him.
The prior two-time NBA champion dropped the singer/songwriter twice, before procuring a second-round knockout within their ridiculous celebrity boxing game Friday night at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
But, Odom got his bearings, went into the exterior and placed a right jab-left hook combination, which dropped Carter. The pop superstar of the 90s didn’t have his legs under him and wisely held on to live the round.
But he would not make it against Odom much longer. The next round had Odom spinning Carter around and around, before delivering a few unanswered lefts to fall the singer once again. Special guest referee Chuck Liddell began counting, as Carter indicated that he was no more fit to continue.
“Just like a f–ing train,” Carter said reside on the pay-per-view in describing what it felt like to be hit by Odom. “He strikes like a mule.”
Carter is fortunate not to leave the ring seriously harm, as giving up almost 65 pounds in a fight is a huge deal and something which organizers must be leery about with such celebrity boxing bouts later on.
