Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua - Who takes it?

Probably just Adderall and lots of steroids

Not really. All those tomato cans that fought Tyson early in his career, had zero chance of not being knocked out early, but all of them tried to fight back. I’ve never seen a professional boxing match at any level where one of them ran laps around the ring and then dove at the other guys legs.

Paul proved conclusively, that he is not a boxer.

I don’t see how some people try to make Jake Paul a Rudy like character. they think it was courageous or Jake was competitive lasting 6 rounds.

Jake Paul landed 16 punches in the fight. It was not a competitive fight. Jake is not close to being a world class boxer. Jake is a world class self promoter. If he really thinks he will win a world title in boxing, he is delusional.

I didn't watch the fight, and clicked the link out of curiosity about how big the 'skill gap' is in boxing between the very best and talented amateurs. The fact that the amateur lasted 6 rounds, even if that was mostly by running away, does make me wonder if the skill gap is less than I would have guessed (though presumably still huge).

Joshua was like a feline playing with his food. It was obvious from round one that he was stretching the bout, probably for a bonus and/or punishing Paul.

Joshua refrained from doing any combinations with force to avoid catching Paul too early.

The fight changes if Jake Paul had any ambition to win though.

If he'd actually tried to fight it would have been over in the first couple of minutes.

What a waste of my time, once I started I couldn't stop because I was waiting for Paul to get his head knocked off.

Joshua is a big, plodding guy, and there was no way he could have cornered the fleet Paul. In his amateur and professional careers, he’s had zero experience in fighting a clown like Paul and there was no benifit to Joshua from carrying him. If there was a fix, I don’t why Paul would want to humiliate himself and then have Joshua hit him in the as hard as he possibly could.

If there was a fix, Paul and Joshua would have tried to choreograph something that made Paul look good, including maybe a flash knockdown by Paul. That would have kept the gravy train going and maybe even resulting in a rematch. Paul’s fans are that stupid.
