Last night Jake Paul took on Anthony Joshua in a sanctioned legitimate exhibition fight that took place in Miami. The fight purse of $184 million which is a big pay day was being shared between the fighters and is the reason why the fight took place and no other reason. Anthony Joshua could not have earned any easier money in his career. This should never have been allowed to take place and rules and regulations are in place to protect the fighters.
The image above of an x-ray is Jake Paul's jaw after the fight broken in two different places. The jaw required surgery with two titanium plates along with the removal of some teeth. This is not a brave action by Jake Paul and is just seriously dumb.
Everyone knows when Jake Paul fought 63 year old Mike Tyson and won that the fight was rigged. Tyson set up to deliver a right hook and bailed from pulling the trigger. This was just a fake pay day for both fighters with Jake Paul having a contract that did not allow Tyson to fight him properly.
Unfortunately the woke influencers who believe in this type of stuff thought Jake Paul actually had a chance last night. I never watched the fight besides a highlight reel showing Jake Paul's jaw being broken. The report stated that in the 6 rounds the fight lasted Paul tried to take down Joshua with 43 grapple moves. A proper referee would have not allowed this ,but then again this was not a proper fight and Paul was trying to survive the 8 rounds so he could claim a moral victory.
Joshua is not a great fighter even though he has been a two time World Champion in the heavy weight division. His problem is he has a glass jaw and cannot take a punch and every boxer knows this now. Maybe Paul thought he would get lucky in his delusional world except the big difference is he is no boxer and does not have a knock out punch.
I have never seen a jaw broken in this fashion that the entire row of teeth had moved and were displaced and were more towards the middle of the mouth. He was lucky he went down when he did as one more punch to the jaw could have resulted in a total jaw rebuild.
Paul the delusional idiot thinks he can challenge for the middle weight belt in the future. Those that follow boxing know this bely used to belong to such legends like "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler, Leonard Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. The difference in this division compared to the heavy weight division is the speed of the boxers hands and if you are not a fighter with boxing skills you will be badly beaten.
The titanium plates in the jaw on both sides is problematic as it now represents a target everyone knows exists. Once you step up into the professional leagues away from the safety of your protected influencer fights you will be found out very quickly. Boxing boards should not be allowing this fool to fight and money should not be his entry ticket and needs to start at the bottom and work his way up if allowed. You cannot buy talent and skills that take years to hone and perfect before deserving to fight for world titles.
