Lamar Odom is a big guy and his frame is certainly conducive to being a good boxer. He has a long reach, and he is big enough that he can take a lot of punishment before being taken down. Having said that, it shouldn't be surprising to see him using his athletic talents in the ring. The former NBA star is now getting into the boxing world through the Celebrity Boxing promotion. Just a few months ago, he defeated Aaron Carter, and last night, he fought against Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband, Ojani Noa.
In the end, it was Odom who came out victorious after the three rounds. He won via decision and if you watch some of the highlights below, it becomes obvious as to how he won. Noa did not stand a chance as he received a barrage of punches from Odom who looked extremely confident.
