Jake Paul claims he won two rounds against Joshua: 'I shook him'
Jake Paul explained that his cardio failed him and regretted not having enough time to train, but assured that he learned a lot from this experience
Jake Paul claimed he won two rounds of the fight he starred in with Anthony Joshua, who brutally knocked him out in the sixth and broke his jaw in two.
On the Impaulsive podcast -hosted by his brother Logan Paul-, Paul explained that his cardio failed him and He regretted not having enough time to train, but assured that he learned a lot from this experience.
“I won two rounds, then he won two more, and then I got knocked down. But I was doing well. The issue was the cardio, the mental pressure of facing such a big guy, and sparring with heavyweights, which is very different from fighting with 10-ounce gloves. That's where I felt his power much more,” he said.
“It was a great experience; I learned a lot in the ring. I would have liked to have had more than three weeks to gain more muscle and be able to really hurt him. My biggest mistake was not training at altitude. Now I clearly see where I could have done better, which is why I'm a little disappointed. But I also know how good he was, but in this fight he kept his guard much better,” he said.
In the fight with Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul focused on running around the ring to avoid his opponent's powerful punches, so the first few rounds were of little action. Action. Midway through the fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer showed signs of fatigue, and that was his downfall. The Briton was able to connect with the American and knocked him down four times (twice in the fifth and twice more in the sixth). It was precisely in that round that Joshua finished Paul with a powerful right hand that fractured his jaw in two places. After the victory, Anthony Joshua declared that he wants to face Tyson Fury next, while Paul asserted that he will continue fighting and again called for a fight against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Jake Paul, 27, suffered his second career defeat, the first by knockout. The American YouTuber has a record of 12 wins (six by knockout) and two losses. Anthony Joshua, 36,He recovered from the knockout he suffered against Daniel Dubois last September by finishing off Paul. The Briton has a record of 29 wins, 25 of them by knockout,and four losses.
