OFFICIAL BOXING DISCUSSION

Jake Paul handed a reality check. Contract must have said Joshua could only throw two punches a round for the first 4 rounds. Once he got semi serious it was the total mismatch every thought it would be.

Broke his jaw

Jake Paul handed a reality check. Contract must have said Joshua could only throw two punches a round for the first 4 rounds. Once he got semi serious it was the total mismatch every thought it would be.

Before it, I gave credit to Paul for even turning up because I had faith in AJ after he didn't mess around with Ngannou.

But then the opening bell rang...

Omg.

If you're going to get paid $90M US (or whatever) to fight, then maybe, you know... Fight.

In a literal fight, he was 100% flight.

I've read and heard all the "credit for getting in there with AJ", but I give no respect to someone who gets that much money only to produce what would pass as an excellent impression of a petrified 14 year old girl.

People have their take, but personally if I were getting that much money, I would know I'd be knocked out in about 4 seconds, but at least I wouldn't run around the ring like a little [This word has been automatically removed].

You sign up to fight someone, you get insane money, the least you can do is what you signed up for: fight.

In the End, Paul looked like a joke, AJ did exactly what he needed to and was gracious in victory.

Even in a humiliating defeat, Paul can't help himself; getting the X-ray out in public and still acting like he is some kind of hero.

I hope I never see him in a boxing ring again.

I'd do it for that much money...

Yeah as I said AJ hardly bothered to throw a punch in the opening four rounds. When he clicked into gear it was a joke.

 

[HUNT 101]

Paul had no business being in the ring with AJ, he's a shi.t boxer, Tommy Fury beat him and he's rubbish , the rest of his fight should have been in a retirement village.
But I picked the round he would go down and cleaned up 🤑💰.

I thought round 4.

The biggest joke is that there are enough people watching and sponsors involved where this fight can have a US$180m purse.

What is the world coming to? I don’t blame the fighters, why wouldn’t you, but how is this entertaining

It's the old strategy where you get enough people who can't stand you so much they'll pay in the hope they get to see you get knocked out.

Paul is pretty savvy in how he has been able to do this; Though I suspect he hasn't had to try very hard as both he and his brother just look like such unlikeable douches.

I've watched boxing for decades and have been hoping for someone to end the farcical pantomimes that have become the scourge on the sport they have the last few years. Hopefully the time has finally come.
