    By plodding about even by his plodding standards, not throwing punches when he could, even as gunshy as he is, against an opponent that can’t hurt far lesser and smaller fighters?
    Throwing punches when Paul’s nowhere near? It looked like Joshua was half blind in the third and fourth round.
    Not throwing body shots or uppercuts, telegraphing the big punches he did throw, not using his size or weight which he used much more against Usyk. Joshua isn’t that bad all of a sudden, and I was thinking he was worse than most.

    He tried to take Jake's head clean up with a massive uppercut. Again, he was trying too hard and that was a big part of the reason, in addition to Jake's speed and slickness, why he couldn't land clean and was missing so much. The ring was huge and Jake was a constantly moving target

    He didn’t look like he was trying very hard at all to me, even he isn’t that slow or poor at cutting off the ring.

    It was a very expensive sparring session. Joshua didn’t go full force but was throwing punches. Paul got some rnds in. Yes Joshua carried him into later rnds. It went far enough and he decided to end it.

    That is the fight in a nutshell.

    That's exactly what it looks like when you're trying too hard and are overconfident and think you're just going to knock your opponent out the first time you land clean and when they're a constantly moving target with a speed advantage

    But he wasn’t throwing punches like he was trying to take him out, he was clearly carrying him. Paul stopped moving plenty of times long enough to get hit, no body shots, nothing, Joshua just cruised around knowing he can more or less take him out at will if he gets nasty.
    He doesn’t have any obligation to go at him and try and take his head off with the first punch he throws but it stinks when people are betting on it and it’s being promoted as a proper fight. AJ with his I’m gonna kill him BS

    Yes he clearly was and no he wasn't carrying him

    This is pointless we're going round in circles and I'm too tired right now to be doing so

    He quit on the last one. Don't get your period over it. He got up just in time to get counted out. You are naive.

    I'm not even critizing him, he was done. But quitting is quitting.

    Not really...

    But he did just enough to prevent the loss from making his next one too predictable - and that might be the whole point?

    He showed some heart and chin even though it doesn't look like Joshua put more than 60% into his punches and just generally went on easy on him...

    So if he fights another real fighter who's closer to his own size?
    It'll realistically get attention.

    If he'd been blown out in one (or seen the final bell and got a set of obviously cooked cards) then that would've damaged the future of the storyline more, potentially?


    It's still a circus farce, once again, but when has that ever stopped people watching it?

    MMA in shambles yet again. Jake Paul has a better chin and better performed against Joshua than one of their top Heavyweights.

    Not insane at all, right on the money.

    If I were a professional boxer I'd be really pissed that this poser, this fraud, getting these big fights not having fought any live body, making a mockery of this sport, turning it into a WWE farce, running around the ring and falling to the canvas every time danger loomed. What a disgrace!

    And all real boxing fans shouls be just as pissed as REAL boxers are at this congame!! Good for them for speaking the TRUTH!!
