Alright, let’s talk about this Salt Papi boxing thing. I’ve been seeing this guy’s name pop up everywhere lately, and I finally decided to see what all the fuss is about. I mean, a social media influencer stepping into the boxing ring? It sounded interesting, to say the least.
So, I started digging around. This Salt Papi guy, he’s got a decent record, 3-1 it seems. I watched some of his fights. The first one I saw was from early 2022. He went up against some dude named Halal Ham. It was an exhibition bout, and Salt Papi won by a unanimous decision. Not bad for a starter, right?
Then, I found another fight from August 2022. This time I didn’t catch his opponent’s name, but he was on the undercard of some event called Deji vs. Alex Wassabi. I think that was his first real boxing appearance. The guy can throw a punch, I’ll give him that. He’s got two wins by knockout, which is pretty impressive.
But here’s the thing that got me scratching my head. I saw some comments online saying that Salt Papi messed up by losing weight for one of his fights. Like, he got into “shape,” and that was a mistake? I don’t know, maybe there’s some boxing strategy I’m not getting, but it sounded weird to me.
My Boxing Journey with Salt Papi
Honestly, watching Salt Papi made me want to try boxing myself. Not professionally, of course, just as a workout. I found a local gym that offers boxing classes for beginners, and I signed up.
- First day: Total disaster. I was clumsy, couldn’t get the footwork right, and my punches were weak. I felt like a complete idiot.
- A few weeks in: Things started to click. I was getting the hang of the basic moves, and my punches were getting stronger. I even managed to spar with someone without embarrassing myself too much.
- Now: I’m not saying I’m ready to challenge Salt Papi or anything, but I’m actually enjoying it. It’s a great workout, and it’s kind of empowering to learn how to throw a proper punch.
I also learned that there are lots of people on social media talking about influencer boxing. Some say Salt Papi is the best thing to happen to it, even better than Jake Paul. They call him a “menace” in the ring. I guess he’s making a name for himself.
So, yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of Salt Papi and boxing. It’s been interesting, to say the least. I never thought I’d be into boxing, but here I am. Maybe I’ll even stick with it. Who knows?
