He used to be a pretty good fighter, man.  That 2nd fight with Usyk he was phenomenal, just couldn't get over the hump against an ATG.

Doesn't help that his opponent is pulling every trick in the book to avoid having to fight.  Running, diving at his legs, faking nut shots, etc.

Ruiz broke him. He’s been afraid to get hit ever since

People call him chinny, but he's actually not.  Against Ruiz and Dubois he got absolutely blasted and picked himself up multiple times and kept fighting.  He's just weirdly got the worst recovery in all of boxing.  Once he gets rocked he can never get it back together.  Hell, his biggest win over Klitschko, Wlad threw that fight away by backing off and turtling up after knocking AJ down.

Oh I agree. He’s not chinny at all imo. He just lacks some of the skill needed to recover from injury and keep fighting well

Went how I expected.  Paul runs for his life to drag the fight out, AJ beats him up a bit, and then the ref saves his life so he doesn't really get hurt that bad.  Everyone goes home much richer.

Yup. Pretty clear direction imo.

Sexually molesting your girl (hopefully) on Netflix is probably frowned upon

Yea that was a lot.

Ok, clown show, maybe we don’t have to hear about a “Jake Paul” anymore. 
 

The thing is there’s no shame in what he’s done— he started late and worked hard and turned himself into someone who would be the best fighter in most gyms that aren’t home to legitimate pros. That is legitimately cool and I wish he’d use his platform to push people to watch great fighters and appreciate the sport instead of this shit.

I swear those pawing jabs were him announcing "ok here it comes"

Yeah, I think the vast majority of boxing fans would agree with that.

He's actually done a ton for women's boxing which has been utterly ignored by everyone else in the sport for forever.  So he should be congratulated for that if nothing else.

Agree on all counts.

Pretty cut and dry. Joshua played with his food for a few rounds just to try to make it look interesting and Paul jumped on his scooter and ran around that giant ring. Which I don't blame him. That was always what he was going to have to do or it was going to be a first round KO. If Joshua ever sat down on his punches and really threw for power like he did to Ngannou that would have been over quick. 

Everyone knew their role. Yet that was so comically bad I don't think it looks good on anyone. The only winners were the morons who didn't have to actually pay money for that shit. Biggest loser was Netflix

Credit to putting in a good deal of work into the training, keeping the body in shape, and building hype, but this boxing career has always been a scam. He was never a serious pro fighter. It's the do enough questionable shit, like fight old people or people outside of their traditional fighting style to rack up some wins, and get folks to hate you so much that they will pay big money to see you get your ass kicked by a real professional somewhere down the line approach. Easy money. We all watched. Mission accomplished. Props from that standpoint.

He won't be, but I think he should be a little ashamed of that display tonight with all the falling down, grabbing legs, and tripping over himself. That really exposed how much of an amateur he is and it was a bit embarrassing. The fight needed one more round of Joshua laying punishment, though.
