For the night, Snoop Dogg turned into an analyst, making viewers laugh even during Robinson's knockout. He started singing the goodbye hymn even before the knockout when the NBA star fell for the first time. He perfectly timed "Good Night, Irene" as Paul punched Robinson. He even joked about Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr, saying they are two "uncles fighting at the barbecue".
