I enjoyed it. He's had the massive big head by taking down retired/MMA fighters. Somewhere along the way his ego became so massive that he thought he could take on one of the best boxers in the world. Last name Anthony showed him just his wide that gap is between them.

He went to the Floyd Mayweather school of selling fights. People who like him will watch because they like him. People that hate him will watch just to see someone kick his arse. Either way, he’s making money off of you because you’re watching.

That sequence of pictures likely will curtail quite a bit of his shtick. Thats a genuine FAFO look of fear in the middle and the rearranging of his soul in the third. His reaction to that punch(to his credit he was still conscious) likely rang bells in his head he wasnt aware we're even there. He'll be a better man for that punch. We can hope.

watched last night and it was a joke. AJ could have won it in the first 10 seconds but was deliberately not engaging, not boxing him. Jake had his hands down most of the fight. This is one step removed from professional wrestling. If that’s what it’s supposed to be, I guess people will continue to watch. If this is supposed to be boxing, it’s not even close


I don't think we watched the same fight. Joshua was extremely rusty early on and Jake was constantly running from Joshua. Joshua seemed to be frustrated early on, but eventually Jakes legs gave out and Joshua pounced. People can know Jake and I personally can't stand him, but the dudes got balls and has a hell of a chin. That right hand knocks most heavyweights unconscious, but Jake was up shortly after the 10 count.

To me it looked like AJ and his team actually respected the one punch situation from Paul. He wasn’t going to chase him and leave an opening.

Jake doing all the hugging and running just made the bigger AJ look like a big bear out there. One guy trying to box like a heavy and the other running around.

Eventually they were okay with just waiting on Paul to get tired. A few key body shots per round made a big difference. Then he couldn’t run, and took a few massive shots. The fight was exactly what it should have been. Paul’s jaw was definitely broken.

Boxing is a dying sport, the Paul’s have injected some life into to it.

t’s a lose lose situation for him.


For Paul? It’s a win, win, win, all the way to the bank situation. Are you kidding? The guy is laughing all the way to the bank. This time it was against a real boxer and he got destroyed.

But all those others were against washed up guys who still could have destroyed him if they desired.

I can’t stand the guy or the fact he’s rich and famous for stupid videos, but I have developed a bit of begrudging respect for him. He’s become a decent boxer in a short time. I wouldn’t step into the ring with these guys, no matter how old and washed up they are.

It’s being reported that he made like 90 million. There isn’t a loss in 90 million.

His bro, Logan Paul, is a legit WWE wrestler. He's got all the ability and the personality. Guy could be a legend if he commits to it.

Yeah I’m a rasslin fan. Both are entertainers. Not sure why the boxing snobs don’t see what Jake is.

We definitely didn’t watch the same fight. I would not say he was rusty. I’d say he was purposely not boxing him. There were so many opportunities to level him because his technique was non-existent. His hands were down most of the fight. It was pretty clear halfway through the first round that this was not a real boxing match.
