Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: The ending no one expected

Let’s get into the real analysis here. The fight started with Anthony Joshua entering the ring wearing his camouflage jacket. He walked into the ring with the “Billy” song, and his ring walk made the fans go crazy at the beginning. Then came the YouTube boxer Jake Paul. The fight started slowly, but Anthony Joshua’s control is impeccable. He controlled the fight and made Jake Paul stick to the ring, and did not let Jake Paul cut an angle and get out of the situation.

Jake Paul tried to jab and land more body shots, and ended up actually landing one on Anthony Joshua. This made Anthony Joshua a bit more enraged, and he started swinging in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Then he calmed down and started to fight slowly, dropping him on the canvas nearly 4 to 5 times. Jake Paul started to grapple with Anthony Joshua whenever Anthony Joshua tried to corner Jake Paul. This made the fight go as far as six rounds. In the 6th round, Jake Paul got tired and put his hands down. This is where Anthony Joshua completely dominated.

He punched overhands, body shots, jabs, and wore Jake Paul down all the way till the corner of the ring. Then came the straight right, followed by a right-left combo that broke Jake Paul’s jaw into 3 pieces. He suffered two fractures in his jaw and got dropped in the canvas. He was not knocked out until he passed out. Jake Paul tried to get up, and the referee had counted him out and ended the fight.

This knockout was not expected by the fans. Does this mean that Anthony Joshua is more skilled than the current Mike Tyson? Fans are in rage over which fight is scripted, and some are even mad that the entire sport of boxing is now becoming an attention-gathering business. Whatever happened, the fans enjoyed such an unexpected turn. Jake Paul suffering two fractures in his jaw is not expected by many. Yet the 28-year-old Jake Paul has made 92 million dollars in a single boxing bout against Anthony Joshua.

Jake Paul and the YouTuber-boxer fame

Jake Paul did not start his career as a boxer; When he was younger, he was the one who posted videos on the platform called “Vine”. That was back in 2013, people are more into his humor, and his actions have gotten more attention. Then he shifted to YouTube, and his YouTube channel became known for pranks, controversies, and his hip-hop music. He becomes a centre of attention on social media.

He got a lot of attention, his YouTube channels got optimized, and he was making a good sum of money off those videos. He also received a lot of recognition and attention from other celebrities and internet personalities. Then his position of being just an internet star wasn’t enough for him. He hopped into training for boxing to fight professionals. This shift has made his fans talk about why and what he is doing. Some hated him for getting into boxing, and some saw it as a huge shift. But he started slow, fighting another YouTube boxer, Deji, KSI’s brother.

That was his first professional fight. People expected a slow and soft fight. But Jake Paul trained himself enough to TKO Deji in the fight. That fight made the fans realize that Jake Paul is not taking boxing lightly. That was his point where he realized that he had a lot of audience in the boxing world waiting for his performance in the upcoming days. Then he fought another internet boxer named AnEsonGib and knocked him out in the first round.

This fight made the fans suspicious about Jake Paul’s fight, and the scripted allegations have grow. Many people thought that his fights were scripted and rigged to make more money and get more attention from people. But in reality, he was making a ton of money, and he started to face off against the retired MMA fighters like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. This was the peak of his performance; his content on Instagram and YouTube is growing exponentially.

Everybody started to watch him, actual fans of the Paul brothers, fans of the opponent he is fighting against, hate-watching, it all boomed his popularity. Then the Mike Tyson fight that made him even more popular and hate for fighting an old, retired fighter. Now, this Anthony Joshua fight also went viral on social media and got him a huge purse of money from the fight.

Conclusion

This fight was another turn for Jake Paul after the loss against Tommy Fury. Jake Paul is a great YouTube boxer, but there are others who are greater than Jake Paul himself. Anthony Joshua’s fight is one of the fights that most fans had been expecting. The height difference, the weight difference, the experience gap, everything tells that Anthony Joshua is winning. But what if this fight is the one that is going to make Jake Paul’s downfall? But that is more unlikely to happen. Many people have criticized Jake Paul for not having experienced a real boxing fight or a real punch from a boxer. This time, he did fight a professional boxer and took the fight to six rounds. For a YouTube boxer against someone who is heavyweight, tall, and has a reach advantage and is way more experienced, his performance in the last fight is far beyond great. His boxing career is not going to end right here. His boxing game will grow, and he will thrive. Anthony Joshua will always stay at the top in his own world.
