Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jake Joseph Paul - Judgement Day, Dec 19th - Discussion Thread.

Maybe Jake Paul will call out Larry Holmes next?

 

This fight convinces me AJ would have KO'd Ali in 1974 if AJ fought him rather than George Foreman

 

Jake might have been better off it was a liver shot.

 

With a liquid diet, he'll be back down to Cruiser in no time.

He should never get near Heavyweight ever again, otherwise he'll lose even more teeth.

 

What happened to his ankles? AJ hit him so hard he broke his legs? Lol.

Jai would beat him up just as bad. He should stick to guys at his own level.

Glad he got ****ed up

he’s always been a fraud and him even going to HW was a combination of his delusional nature and lack of respect for the sport

 

Jake Paul deserves credit. Obviously Jake Paul is not and never will be a world class fighter

However Jake Paul exceeded all expectations

He was obviously was in survival mode for most of the fight but he landed right hands and made him miss consistently

Even with all of the clinching it's still impressive considering where Jake Paul came from

Anthony Joshua also did a bad job cutting off the ring

I know the ring was huge

 

I saw that Paul was trying to survive, and AJ couldn’t cut off the ring quickly at first, until Jake got tired—but at some point he was starting to cut off the ring successfully. That said, Paul caught him with some good shots. I didn’t see Joshua get hurt or wobbled either. I heard a TikToker I really respect say that Joshua was even going at it calmly so he wouldn’t eat a clean shot, or that he was scared of taking a big punch from Paul. I think he did take one and basically ate Jake’s punches like snacks. But putting that aside, for a guy who’s been training boxing for 6 years and weighs a lot less, I think he did well and came in with a game plan. What do you all think?

 

Couldn't agree more. I only wish this fraud had been knocked completely unconscious, but it was pretty clear from the get go Joshua was taking it easy on him

 

"Taking it easy on him" No, he was just hitting air and even getting touched up at times by a 5'11 natural light heavyweight novice.

"Fraud"? You go do 6 rounds and take a flush right hand from Anthony Joshua and nearly beat the count, you nerdling.

The young man may not be a great boxer, but he is a great entertainer and did himself very, very proud. Got a great chin for such a small guy as well as most light heavies, and even big cruisers, would have been sparked out with some of the shots prior to the jaw breaker.

El Gallo = Cojones Grandes

 

I Just think what would have happened If he ate a straight right from wlad

 

might be in the morgue

 

Idk, we see a lot of things eye to eye but I'm not buying AJ not taking this seriously. He said himself pre fight he was aiming for an early KO, but struggled to cut off the ring and fight from the clinch effectively. It was a horrible performance and highlights how much AJ has regressed since losing to Usyk.

If anything, Jake Paul not coming to fight should have made it even easier for AJ to catch him.

This has put yet another avoidable stain on boxing.

 

AJ hasn't improved at all, he has merely sunk to such depths that he relies on novice YouTubers to try to remain relevant. He still momentarily looked confused and stressed when the midget YouTuber landed a single punch, naturally he resorted to safety first tactics til he got the inevitable KO. Embarrassment all around.
