    Technically, Saturday was a showcase for Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.

    Somehow, Snoop Dogg won the night anyway.

    As Tyson and Jones rumbled through eight rounds to a draw, it was the famed rapper handling commentary duties who put on the performance worth remembering. Snoop's antics, quips and all-around persona had social media practically begging him to call more sporting events with a few NBA players demanding he get on the mic for one of their games.

    Snoop is hilarious

    Kevin Negandhi @KNegandhiESPN

    Can Snoop just be a part of every big sporting event? Whatever one he wants, he joins the broadcast team and does his own commentary.

    “This is like two of my uncles fighting at the BBQ” — Snoop. True.

    Zach LaVine @ZachLaVine

    Snoop need to get a full basketball game in as a commentator 😂

    Snoop, who also performed before the main event, has previously joined NHL broadcasts—as well as the broadcast team for EA Sports' NHL 20—and has coached youth football.

    If he wants to experiment with a side career in sportscasting, Saturday proved he's got the support of the public to do so.
