Creator Clash was an influencer boxing event that took place in May 2022. The event was the first of its kind in the influencer-boxing space, as it pitted non-fighter creator types against each other to raise money for charity. In the end, the event fundraised over $1.3 million dollars for the American Heart Association, the Alzheimer\u2019s Association of America, and the Healing Horse Therapy Center. It became one of the most popular influencer boxing events of the year, with another on the way in 2023. One of the more prominent matches on the Creator Clash fight card was a bout between YouTubers Matt Watson and \u2018Dad.\u2019 Dad clearly had the upper hand throughout their fight and ended up taking the victory by TKO in the very first round. Although both \u2018Dad\u2019 and Matt Watson are comedic YouTubers who often put on a fake persona for the laughs, UFC color commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan wasn\u2019t in on the joke. In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan podcast, Rogan relayed a terrible tale about a father vs son boxing match he\u2019d recently watched. He described the fight as a \u201csad\u201d affair, as the father was apparently \u201cbeating the sh*t\u201d out of his own child and even \u201ccelebrating\u201d after knocking him down. \u201cI saw a video today of a boxing match between a father and a son,\u201d he began. \u201cIt made me so sad. \u2018Cause there\u2019s this young kid \u2014 he looks like he\u2019s probably 17 or 18, and the father\u2019s 42. And the father beats the sh*t out of him.\u201d \u201cI mean like, dings him in the head and keeps punching him. That\u2019s your son. And we\u2019re watching you beat your son up? \u2018Cause I get your son probably got cocky with you, but \u2014 and he celebrates after he knocks his son out? It makes me so sad.\u201d Joe Rogan falls for clickbait saying Matt Watson vs Dad was real father vs son boxing match Luckily, Rogan\u2019s editor quickly made him aware that the match wasn\u2019t actually between a father and a son \u2014 something the host seemed puzzled by, as the video he\u2019d watched was titled \u201cfather knocks out son in celebrity boxing match.\u201d Despite getting duped, Rogan was a good sport about it, admitting that he was \u201csuch a sucker\u201d for believing the clickbait. That didn\u2019t stop the creator of Creator Clash, iDubbbz, and Matt Watson himself from clowning on Rogan, though. The two made a hilarious edit of Rogan\u2019s \u201cso sad\u201d speech interspersed with footage from Watson\u2019s fight against Dad, which has racked up over 4.8k retweets at the time of writing. With another Creator Clash set for 2023, there\u2019s no telling what meme-worthy moments will come from it \u2014 but there\u2019s already a slew of other internet stars looking to get in on the action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Rogan goes viral for believing Matt Watson vs Dad was bout between real father &#038; son YouTube: JRE Clips \/ DexertoPodcast host Joe Rogan was \u201cso sad\u201d after watching the boxing match between Matt Watson vs Dad at Creator Clash 2022, believing the bout was between a real father and son.
