Jake Paul live thread

[drunkenhorseplayer]

I'm not touching this fight. Assuming everything's on the level, those prices on Joshua represent ridiculous value but there has to be a reason for them. I just can't believe a guy like Joshua would lay down but again, why would the price be so good?

Its only an 8 round fight, so bigger chance for a draw...

(I just cant shake the feeling, that this fight is crooked)

 

[BigJay]

Is the Jake Paul fight next?

Woodley it's time to stop fighting forever. It's over. Whooped out by 50 year old.

Is the Jake Paul fight next?

Yes

 

[BigJay]

Damn that one chick got the beat out of her

 

[phillyflyers]

What's going on in the Paul fight?

Is he getting his ass waxed or what?

I refuse to watch it after the Tyson fight.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Is he getting his ass waxed or what?

Not yet

Not many punches so far in the first round

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Paul doing nothing but running, Joshua following but punching sparingly. When Paul holds, the ref takes forever to break them; crowd is booing and rightfully so.

 

[209life]

The best ref line i've might ever hear..."people didn't pay for this crap"

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Several times in the 4th, Paul deliberately went to his knees. The announcer commented that Joshua "doesn't appear to be punching with any malevolence". The ref warned them to stop wrestling and commented that "the fans didn't pay to see this crap". Fans still booing heavily.

 

[BigJay]

Paul looks wobbly headed to the sixth

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Paul knocked down twice in the fifth, Joshua had 45 seconds to try for the kill but didn't seem to go for it until 5-10 seconds left in the round.

 

[BigJay]

Great KO to end it

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Joshua by KO in the 6th. Paul looked like he could've got up but didn't want to and seemed to conveniently rise right after the ref waved his hands.

 

[ktollinche]

what the freakshow did I just watch???

That was not boxing.... that was entry level pro wrestling...

Hopefully, his way more than 15 minutes of fame are up...

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

The best ref line i've might ever hear..."people didn't pay for this crap"

I remember when Refrigerator Perry fought Manute Bol 20 years ago, neither fighter was doing anything and the ref stepped between them and said "You gotta fight, if you wanna get paid you gotta fight, now fight".

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Late Joshua KO and both boxers careers are still fine.

Joshua gets the KO as he should and Jake gets respect for lasting that long.

Good call.
