Ashton “H2O” Sylve was cruising through his bout against fellow undefeated boxer Lucas Bahdi. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Sylve was about to win #12 and then all of a sudden, things got really rocky for him. Bahdi unloaded a fury of punches that sent H20 to the canvas out cold.

Bahdi was receiving a boxing lesson for six rounds, he looked very stiff and confused in the ring as Sylve was having his way with him. But round six is exactly why we love the sport of boxing. One punch can change everything and that’s exactly what happened.
“It was exactly what I thought I was going to do,” Badhi said. “I hope I made a lot more fans tonight.”
“I knew it was only a matter of time before I get him,” Badhi said in the post-fight press conference, “I knew he was going to be super tricky in the beginning, super fast, very good boxer, but I knew the second half of the fight his head was going to be in the middle and I was going to catch him.”
Sylve got to way to comfortable in the and his lack of experience got the best of him as he was caught with his hands down. Bahdi KO of Sylve is the front runner for KO of the year.
Regroup and reboot
Ashton Sylve is only 20 years old. Without a doubt he’s had a lot of success early on in his young boxing career but unfortunately inexperience caught up with him. Without a doubt he’ll be back because his issues are very fixable as he’ll go back to the lab. We need a rematch! These two should run it back.
