Bob Menery vs. Johnny Manziel: The footage of what happened in their fights<\/p>\n

Johnny Manziel returned to the ring and stopped Bob Menery in a boxing match, winning in the first round.<\/p>\n

While far from his peak athletic form, the former NFL star still had enough left to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Dana White lost $10,000 on a bet after claiming Menery would never step into the ring.<\/p>\n

The fight hit the canvas early on after both men traded kicks, and while Manziel\u2019s ground-and-pound wasn\u2019t especially heavy, it was enough for the stoppage.<\/p>\n

Johnny Manziel finishes Bob Menery in the opening round<\/p>\n

During his time at Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel was more familiar with throwing touchdowns than anything else.<\/p>\n

But against the much smaller Bob Menery, he came out looking more like a kicker, focusing on leg attacks early on.<\/p>\n

While White shared stories about Menery\u2019s pre-fight antics\u2014including being removed from a hotel for drinking\u2014Menery managed to rally a bit once the fight went to the mat.<\/p>\n

Still, it was short-lived. Manziel quickly worked into full mount and took control from there.<\/p>\n

The referee stepped in with about a minute left in the round, even though none of the shots looked particularly damaging.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, neither Menery nor Manziel seemed interested in stepping back into the cage anytime soon.<\/p>\n
