Nathaniel Bustamante aka “Salt Papi” has done it again, winning his latest exhibition boxing match at Social Knockout 3 via body shot KO.

A chunky Papi controlled the fight from the opening bell to the end at 1:41 of the first round. He worked the body mercilessly, putting Savage down onto one knee with a liver punch about 40 seconds in that set up to beginning of the end. From there he seemed to toy with his opponent before putting some heat on another body shot that dropped Dawood to the canvas.

Watch the highlights here:

The win moves Salt Papi to 5-2 in his exhibition fight career, but he gains little more than a paycheck and another clip for his highlight reel with this one. This fight was put together on two week’s notice, and Dawood Savage’s sole fight prior to this saw him get brutally knocked out by Abdalla “3Bidaan” Almaazmi back in February.

This was definitely a step down in competition compared to Salt Papi’s last opponent, Amadeusz “Ferarri” Roslik, who had pro MMA and kickboxing fights under his belt. Salt Papi made Roslik quit on the stool in between rounds.

But influencer boxing is all about the viral moments and Salt Papi’s body shot knockout of “Money” Savage at Social Knockout 3 may qualify as that.
