Jake Paul keeps winning–and it’s pissing people off. Those irritated with his antics include professional boxers, MMA fighters and NFL players.
Say what you will about his boxing shows, but Paul is definitely doing something right. There’s nothing like hundreds of thousands of people tuning into your fight–or even attending the fight live and in person–just to see you get humbled.
The worst part about it, for those wishing to see Paul lose, is that “The Problem Child” keeps winning. And more often than not, it’s a vicious knockout that ends his fights.
On Saturday, December 18, 2021, Tyron Woodley became the latest victim of Paul mania. While UFC fighters like Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal watched from ringside, Paul made Woodley a meme in Round 6 with one of the most vicious knockouts in recent memory.
Paul has no chill, so after his big knockout victory over Woodley, he called Masvidal and Diaz.
“Y’all are some bitches for leaving this arena,” said Paul. “I know you don’t want that s***. I’ll take out both of y’all next. Get out of your contracts with daddy Dana. I’mma f*** them up too.”
Masvidal was quick to respond to Paul’s call out, but unlike many other athletes, he’s not interested in facing Paul in a boxing ring.
In a video posted on Instagram, Masvidal invited Paul to come over to UFC for what he called, “man to man shit.” Masvidal continued, saying he he doesn’t want “none of that boxing shit, where I can’t slam you on your spinal cord.”
Masvidal is obviously bothered by Paul–but he’s smart enough to know that beating him in a boxing match would prove tricky. The fact is, Paul has hands.
Of course, you can criticize this brand of boxing, but you can also just sit back and enjoy the show. Jake Paul isn’t fighting Canelo Alvarez, Artur Beterbiev or Tyrson Fury–but feel free to call for him to face a “real boxer in his prime,” until you turn blue.
Paul isn’t going to crack the boxing pound-for-pound list, either. That’s not what this is. It’s a show–one that is traveling and making a lot of money not only for Paul, but also for one of the great’s of women’s boxing in Amanda Serrano.
Regardless of who Paul decides to face next, we know it’ll be a spectacle and there will be tons of people lined up ready to see Paul get humbled.
