Clay Collard’s UFC career may not have lasted long, but he’s carved out quite the reputation for playing spoiler in the boxing ring.
“Cassius” Clay (7-2-3, 2 KOs) was able to win an entertaining six-round split decision over the previously unbeaten David Kaminsky (6-1, 3 KOs) on Thursday’s Top Rank Boxing on ESPN card. Collard entered the fight as a +400 underdog on 5Dimes, but his high-volume, rough-and-tumble style proved to be very difficult for Kaminsky to handle.
By the end of the bout, Kaminsky’s face was cut up and busted, and while the 19-year-old native of Israel had his moments attacking Collard’s body in the middle rounds, Collard consistently outlanding his opponent paved the way for another upset victory.
