As the fight began, both Canseco and the Barstool intern traded short punches before the former all-star was dropped and stopped in 10 seconds. The fight was over just like that.
Canseco understand prize fighting. Says his shoulder was torn 3-4 months ago haha https://twitter.com/tylertreese/status/1357897091075477505

Canseco’s character has been called into question for years, and Portnoy couldn’t help but question it following the event. — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) February 6, 2021
Jose 100% took a dive. We paid half up front and he got double if he won. We thought that would ensure he’d fight. We were wrong.

In addition, Barstool’s Sportsbook gambling site announced that they were voiding all bets put on Canseco, while still paying out for those who bet on his opponent. — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) February 6, 2021
We have already voided all bets on Jose Canceso at RnR 13. All wagers on Billy Football will be graded a win.

This is not the first time Canseco has found himself in trouble with the boxing community. In 2011, Canseco was scheduled to compete at a celebrity boxing event in Florida, but sent his identical twin brother Ozzie in his place, promoter Damon Feldman told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Feldman stated that he paid Canseco $5,000 in advance of the fight before the no-show and switch was made. — Barstool Sportsbook (@BSSportsbook) February 6, 2021
