Adam22 has opened up on his disappointing performance against Jason Luv which saw him stopped inside the first round.
Adam22 vs. Luv was the headline fight on last Friday's boxing card promoted by Adin Ross' Brand Risk Promotions.
It was billed as a grudge match given adult star Luv had slept with Adam22's wife, Lena The Plug, on two occasions for content.
Adult star Luv landed a combination of unanswered punches on Adam22, who didn't throw anything back at the 40-year-old, with the fight being stopped after 74 seconds.

Speaking in the ring after his defeat, Adam22 admitted: "He was the better man. He’s just as strong as he looks. I did what I could in two weeks, ultimately I think I need to cut some more weight."
Following the fight, Adam22's performance, or lack of, came under serious scrutiny, but in a new episode of his No Jumper podcast, the YouTuber explained the truth behind his tactics.
"I believed that by putting my hands up, I was gonna be able to take some hits and then hit him back," he said.
"The first hit that I take, you see my arms go from this to this (arms go down). He just hit so much harder than I ever could have really realized was possible.
"And yeah, that was pretty much the moment where I was like, what the fuck was I thinking?" He added.
The YouTuber was then asked if he would have faired better when he was younger, which he quickly downplayed.
"Hell no! You doing drugs? I'm way more around the street dudes now. Back then I was around like the little SoundCloud kids," he reiterated.
Ross, whose company promoted the fight, has since called out Adam22's performance given his disappointing boxing debut.
He claims sponsor Rainbet were left furious with his dismal showing considering they had put money in to the event.
According to Ross, Rainbet are considering legal action in the wake of the underwhelming event.
Speaking on a Kick stream, Ross explained: "And honestly Rainbet was really upset.
"Rainbet were like: 'Yo is there anything in this contract... in the clause, where we can...'. Because there is something in the contract that does state if you don't try and you don't give it your all, you lose some of your purse."
