Former NBA player Deron Williams defeated former NFL running back Frank Gore in a split decision Saturday on the prelims for the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley rematch.

Deron Williams has been training for many years, while he also sported a very nice height and reach advantage which proved to be too much for the former running back.

Here are a flurry of punches from Williams in the second round.

When the judges read the scorecards, many were left wondering how it was even a split decision. One judge scored it 38-37 Williams, one saw it 38-37 Gore, while another judge saw it 40-35 Williams.

Williams also went on to say in his post-match press-conference that this would be his “one and done” as a boxer.
