It has been a pretty intense week for AnEson Gib, who had a controversial draw against Taylor Holder in the recent ‘YouTube v TikTok’ event. Despite outworking his rival throughout, Gib couldn’t get the win on the fight night and appear vexed with the decision.

However, ISKA Director Tom Sconzo seems to have changed the call, and the YouTuber took this chance to take a dig at the P4P king Canelo Alvarez. While the super middleweight champion had advised Holder on how to knock out Gib, the TikToker failed miserably. Instead, he suffered a lopsided beat down.

So, AnEson Gib turned to social media and claimed that Team Canelo “failed miserably”. He even posted a picture of a video where Alvarez is spotted giving boxing lessons to Taylor Holder. Following his win over Saunders in May, Alvarez met the TikToker in the green room and passed on some valuable advice.

Nevertheless, the in-ring scenario was in Gib’s favor. Following a first-round KO loss to Jake Paul, AnEson Gib laced up the gloves and showcased his best against Taylor Holder. The post-fight stats reflected him to have landed 38 power punches in contrast to Holders’ 16. But the announcers shook the contender and fans, as they didn’t announce any official winner of the fight.
