    AJ probably didn’t even mean to hit him as hard as he did.
    Watch the minute or so before after the last knockdown, Paul backs up in to a corner with his hands down and AJ just lets him slowly walk off to the opposite corner, he could have taken his head off then if he’d wanted. And that was far from the most obvious bit of holding back

    5 year pro fighter, who will weigh in well above 200 lbs for a HW fight. Almost a decade younger than his opponent, in his full physical prime. Nothing on the surface for a commission to reject.

    Chavez Jr not throwing any damn punches for 6 rounds says clearly to me, that Jake Paul Riggs his fights. The fact that Paul lasted longer in the ring against a former 2x unified HW champion did than a dangerous former UFC heavyweight champion did whos alot bigger than he is tells me Joshua pulled his punches clearly.

    When exactly has AJ HAD to cut off the ring? And yes... many pro boxers are really really shitty at it.

    It was a bad performance from AJ, coming off a long layoff. Ring rust was evident, and there was a lot of pressure to knock Paul out early. Once it went past round 1, AJ was a little rattled mentally. Jake is skilled enough to run and dodge effectively until he gassed completely which happened pretty quick. He kept falling down which bought him more time.

    You also forget that AJ was looking to deliver a prolonged beating. He wanted to punish him a little.

    I don't know why people are delusional to think Paul would get away with rigging fights. He's fought old MMA fighters, other youtubers and a a few old former champs. He's young, has some decent natural fighting gifts, has the best boxing camp money can pay for, and obviously has a lot of grit and desire.

    I never rated AJ as highly as some in his prime, I always thought his world champion status was manufactured for him mostly, but 7 years ago he was one of the best in the world.
    Now, he's probably not, at all. He's not top 10, and he's not likely to be again.
    Boxing fans have become a bit slow to figure out that boxers rise and fall. AJ is quite far down the other side of the hill now. The fake he even took the Jake Paul fight proved that.

    Lmao ok. Clearly carried Tyson. a real match Tyson gets embarrassed inside a round or two by anyone with an ounce of pro fighting experience. He's ancient and beyond shot with no speed, balance, horrible knees. Did you not see what happened in Belfort/Holyfield? That's what happens when a washed up fighter with brain damage pushing 60 fights an active fighter good or bad. Paul KO'ing Tyson on Netflix would have been horrible PR it was never going to happen.


    AJ nervous? Against a ****ing Youtuber who has made their name fighting washed up UFC fighters and geriatric old men. You've got to be kidding me. He held back and carried Paul simple as that. This amount of cope is ridiculous.

    Yeah, if he rigs his fights - why didn't the rig the Tommy Fury fight?
    Tommy Fury sure as hell hasn't done anything with the victory.

    Was AJ ever known for being fleet footed and good at cutting off the ring? Jake was a smaller, faster man, who was running. AJ rightly or wrongly has had a reputation for being plodding at times.

    He was very lackadaisical the first few rounds, but maybe that's AJ at this stage of his career?

    Is that why the dosser also allowed himself to get hit and semi-wobbled? Lol.

    I think Ngannou feared the outcome of looking bad against Jake so turned down 10s of millions. Fumbled the bag.
