YouTube star Harley Morenstein's 62lb advantage over rival Arin Hanson was enough to land him a second-round victory in his boxing debut last night.
The social media sensation is best known for hosting Epic Meal Time, and had been preparing for his fight with Hanson by working with Montreal-based coach Jessy Thompson as well as controversial comedian Sam Hyde. His opponent was best known as part of the channel Game Grumps, and had only started training a few weeks before the fight.
And it became clear early that Morenstein's significant size advantage, coupled with Hanson's lack of training time, would prove a major difference maker. Immediately, the Canadian took to the centre of the ring and began an onslaught on Hanson, which the Floridian did well to survive.
