The Result in Orlando
Paul Miller, the kickboxer and online personality known as Gypsy Crusader, beat Ben "King" Azoulay by split decision in Orlando, Florida, according to Bloody Elbow.
One judge scored the three round bout 29-28 for Azoulay. The other two cards read 30-27 for Miller.
The fight went the full distance. Afterwards, Bloody Elbow reported that Miller goaded Azoulay in his post-fight interview, mocking him for being short and "not tough".
A 32lb Gap on the Scales
At the weigh-in on the morning before the fight, Miller hit the scales at 218lb. Azoulay followed at 185.2lb, a difference of roughly 32lb.
Bloody Elbow described the gap as falling outside normal divisional boundaries, but reported that the commission in Florida cleared it and that Duel Arena confirmed the bout was official.
The figure put Miller just 3lb below the weight he carried in March, when he beat Supah Hot Fire at a Brand Risk Promotions event.
Card and Context
The bout took place on the inaugural show for Duel Arena, a promotion Bloody Elbow characterised as a freak show event built around Miller.
Miller and Azoulay moved to the centre of the card after Dillon Danis was pulled from the scheduled main event against Mike Perry. Bloody Elbow described the injury that removed Danis as gruesome, while also calling it questionable.
Bloody Elbow reported that Miller entered with a legitimate if unremarkable fighting record, walking out alongside mixed martial arts veteran Jake Shields. Azoulay has claimed 1,000 undocumented fights, none of which the publication said has been recorded anywhere.
How the Fight Went
Azoulay arrived on a throne draped in an Israeli flag and played the villain to a crowd that Bloody Elbow said was heavily behind Miller.
The publication reported that Azoulay was tougher than expected and kept pressing forward, despite being cut on the shin early. Each time he kicked to the body, Miller caught the leg and swept him to the mat.
Miller, who had visibly tired during his boxing match with Supah Hot Fire, looked far more comfortable this time and barely broke a sweat. After that earlier bout he had said he was giving up fighting because of how demanding it was.
