It helps being beaten senseless if you start out having very little sense.

This fight could have been an email

LMAO we eating good tonight. The "takedown" reel is especially hilarious/pathetic, as nomeone who knows almost nothing about boxing. I may try to learn a bit, just to follow this "fight" better.

The BBC article covering this "boxing" match is awesome. You can tell right from the title that the journalist wasn't amused:

Joshua and Paul earn riches but deliver budget sporting spectacle

The plot played out in the ring was lifeless - a slow, joyless watch that would have struggled to earn even a charitable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

And the ultimate irony is that this spectacle has provided one of Joshua's biggest paydays and, in all likelihood, his largest television audience.

With seconds remaining in the fourth round, referee Christopher Young perhaps spoke for viewers around the world when he pulled the fighters together and urged them to engage.

Directing his comments at Paul, he said: "Fans didn't pay to see this crap."

Jake Paul can afford to best of everything from fitness coaches to boxing coaches. He is at best, a below average boxer.

If somebody beat him stupid, how would anyone be able to tell?

jesus, he's maga too!? how does one man contain so much concentrated bullshit

I'm so frustrated Dutch media won't bring this up. Jake Paul's girlfriend is a Dutch ice skating celebrity, Jutta Leerdam. Everything that happens to either of them is considered news here, but they never bring up that he's MAGA. Their popularity is nothing more than "attractive sports couple". If people in the Netherlands knew they're Trump supporters, they would not look at them the same way ever again.

Asshole kept getting into the ring with stumblebums so often that he got high on his own supply; started thinking he could actually go toe to toe with a professional. There's a screenshot out there of the exact moment that he realized his mistake and it is fucking glorious.

beautiful

Reminder that if you see a Nazi, you punch a Nazi.

maga grifter to be exact, he saw which way the wind was blowing, because his influencer lifestyle is dying down.

This guy’s business model is being hated so much that people will pay for him to get beaten and everyone is eating it all up.

I hope he enjoys drinking his meals through a straw.

Is this is of the rare times CTE could improve someone's brain?

As well as Tate getting his shit rocked fills me with joy.

I'm surprised that he finally boxed someone that isn't retired. Like Mike Tyson is fit, but old, and the mma guys are retired (and mostly grapplers so somewhat disarmed in boxing)

Can’t wait to see what conspiracies, rationalizations, and racism the MAGA sycophants come up with in support of Paul. If they don’t outright abandon him for losing. Maybe both.

new content farm strat just dropped

I'm somewhat glad my news diet never told me he went maga as I haven't heard of him in ages. In other news, given his hometown, upbringing, and -er- success(?) I am not at all surprised

It's hilarious that this dude thinks he's a boxer, yet the first time he legit gets punched in the face his jaw breaks.

Took goddamn long enough. I really wanted Tyson to be the one to humble him, but I'll take having him get his jaw broken by a real boxer, not just a retired legend.

edit: Also it's so funny seeing the number of times he tried to shoot for a takedown. Go back to MMA Paul, you don't have the skill for a pure striking combat sport.

We loved it. We hoped that Mike Tyson would have done this as well.

Turning from YouTuber to boxer was a good decision. Now we all can see when he's getting his ass knocked. I did enjoy that, quality content.

The formatting is completely broken on Boost, so I have no idea what you're trying to say

Good work Anthony! Krasnov should give his ball licker a straw.

Now that is truly a punchable face.

Like he had senses prior.

Anybody seen Mythic Quest? Seems truth is identical to fiction sometimes.

Praying for a slow recovery

Edit: and painful

Paul looked and moved like a frat boy who does boxing workouts on weekends. Joshua looked and moved like a professional boxer. I mean shit, just look at the difference in the condition they're in. One of these guys trains hard, the other pretends to train at that level in front cameras and it shows. The outcome on this was clear from watching the first few seconds.

Honestly, I hope Jake is dumb enough to keep trying. If he gets his ass handed to him over and over, maybe it'll be enough to prove to some people that this sort of macho huckster is just full of shit.

Have the day you voted for.

This has been a great early Christmas gift!

There still is beauty in the world.

Beaten senseless? As if there was any sense to begin with

Eventually he sort of had to go against someone with talent.
