00:00I just wanted to say hi to that.
00:02Shut up. Face the wall.
00:04Turn her out. Turn her out.
00:10I'm still moving, sir.
00:12Give me your hand. Give me your hand.
00:16And you weren't really sparring.
00:18You were fighting. We were fighting all the time.
00:20And just getting guys getting dropped all the time.
00:22And that was just the kind of gym that I was in.
00:24But this wasn't a real fight.
00:26He was pulling punches. He wasn't giving it his full effort.
00:29Joe Rogan reacts to the rumored arrest of Jake Paul over allegedly scripting boxing fights.
00:35Rogan stresses that no career milestone is worth putting one's life at risk.
00:39He warns that the dangers of boxing are real and should never be treated lightly.
00:43According to reports, Rogan believes Paul must reconsider his decisions before stepping into the ring again.
00:49As chasing fame or money through risky fights is not worth the potential consequences.
00:54Jake Paul, you have probably seen some of the controversy he's been tangled up in in recent months.
00:59Joe Rogan emphasized that boxing is extremely dangerous and continuing to fight recklessly could have severe consequences.
01:06He also warned that engaging in illegal or scripted activities could lead to legal action against the fighter.
01:11Life is ruined because then you can't think, you can't do things, you don't know what the fuck you're doing in life.
01:16It's like literally everything is the quality of your ability to think.
01:21And I knew that I was putting that in jeopardy.
01:24Nakisa Badarian has clarified that neither Jake Paul nor his team engaged in any wrongdoing or attempted to rig the fight.
01:30He addressed the widespread rumors claiming the bout with Anthony Joshua was scripted, calling them completely false.
01:37According to Nakisa, people online made astonishing claims, including a post suggesting there was an agreement for Joshua not to knock out Paul.
01:44He explained that Joshua fought genuinely and decisively, disregarding any alleged arrangement.
01:50Nakisa emphasized that Jake trained, competed, and took real risks in the ring.
01:55He also noted that legal action is being taken against individuals spreading these false narratives.
02:00For Nakisa, this clarification is crucial to protect the reputations of both Jake and his team,
02:06making it clear to fans and critics alike that the fight was legitimate and unscripted,
02:11and any notion of a fixed outcome is entirely baseless.
02:14There's the, I've seen the script, rig, this, that, and the other.
02:17Do you think now at the very least that talk goes away, broke his jaw, went in there against Anthony Joshua?
02:23At the very least, do you think that you guys can move on from that?
02:26Like that won't follow you?
02:27No, I don't.
02:28I actually, you know, our lawyers are actively going after a number of people.
02:33One who claims to be a lawyer himself online, I don't remember the name or the handle,
02:38but it was something that had like 200,000 likes.
02:40And basically this post said there was an agreement for AJ not to knock out Jake,
02:47but AJ disregarded the agreement and decided to not get his payday, but knock out Jake Paul.
02:53So it's, it's, it's pretty, pretty astonishing what people say.
02:58Your, your dear friend, Lou DiBella, saw him put up a bunch of ridiculous things and even said,
03:05Nikisa, go ahead and sue me.
03:07But this wasn't a real fight.
03:08He was pulling punches.
03:09He wasn't giving it his full effort.
03:11And so for the people, you know, again, just to, to clear this up, cause I want to, I asked Eddie this question.
03:19I'll ask you the exact same question.
03:21Once and for all, was there any sort of arrangement as far as it should go this many rounds?
03:26Any, cause that's the one that I've heard.
03:28Oh, Anthony agreed to three rounds, four rounds.
03:30Can you tell us in black and white, if there were any talks of any kind between the network, the promotion, the fighter?
03:37There's never once in Jake Paul's career in any talk of that sort of anything to do with the fight being anything, but a real fight that has exactly the same situation as any professional fight.
03:50And that's exactly the same thing here for the Anthony Joshua fight.
03:53It's just beyond mind blowing that people would think that Anthony Joshua was on record saying that if he didn't finish him in the first round, that would be disappointing that it would be a failure.
04:03The narrative changed as we got closer to fight night and obviously post fight, and I understand why.
04:08But they were, they were pretty adamant it would take max two rounds to knock out Jake Paul.
04:13Joe Rogan has already warned Jake Paul not to do anything reckless like this again.
04:17He strongly cautioned him to reconsider taking high risk boxing matches, emphasizing that no career milestone is worth risking one's life.
04:24Rogan stressed that the dangers of the ring are very real and pursuing staged or dangerous fights for fame or money could have serious consequences.
04:33Safety and responsibility must come first for any fighter.
04:37Because here's the thing.
04:38Look at all them celebrities like dude from the Mighty Ducks, the little boy actor that got strung out on drugs.
04:46And all his fronts and all his teeth were missing from being on meth or whatever, you know, I mean, whatever drug of choice he was on.
04:52There's no coming back from that.
04:54The people who like dissipate their teeth through drug usage, you don't get like a second set.
05:03So if I'm not mistaken to do from Mighty Ducks, somebody like he's been clean and they gave him a makeover and he has like pretty much fake teeth.
05:13So, yeah, the teeth are going to be cooked.
05:16Now, I agree with the other part that Rogan was saying, but let's keep going.
05:21Yeah, I think he wins that fight knowing that was probably going to happen.
05:26And ultimately the big win for him would be that he was even willing to do it and that he could do well for a little bit.
05:34Yeah.
05:35And I've already expressed my thoughts on this.
05:37I'm not giving no props for a person who says I am a real deal boxer because I went and get smashed and got my jaw broken.
05:46But I lasted longer than Nganu, but I was crazy enough to try because to be honest, we're way past the honeymoon stage with a person like Jake Paul.
05:58You've been in this for long enough to go through fight camps, dedicate your time, effort, energy, money, spar with people.
06:07You spar with some quality names because you have resources and money or whatever.
06:12So we're well past that to the point where you just get credit for stepping in.
06:16You maybe got credit your first fight or whatever.
06:19First couple of fights for coming from your background and, you know, stepping in and fighting.
06:27But we're well past that.
06:28You have a box rack.
06:29You were being ranked by sanctioning bodies in boxing.
06:32So, yeah.
06:33Eddie Hearn provided a thoughtful analysis of the Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul fight, highlighting the careful planning behind each move in the ring.
06:42He explained that the bout progressed precisely according to strategy, with Joshua's team prioritizing patience and controlled aggression over reckless punches.
06:50The plan was to systematically challenge Jake Paul, exposing weaknesses and testing his stamina before delivering decisive strikes.
06:58Hearn emphasized that this methodical style reflects true professional boxing, where success relies on discipline, timing, and tactical execution rather than sheer power.
07:08Every phase of the fight was orchestrated to maintain control while gradually asserting dominance, demonstrating how strategic thinking often outweighs raw strength.
07:17According to Hearn, this approach not only secured the victory, but also showcased the art of boxing as a careful, intelligent contest, where measured execution and calculated decisions define champions and separate seasoned fighters from novices.
07:31Break him down.
07:32Break him down.
07:33He said before the fight, I'm going to break him down, and then I'm going to knock him out.
07:37And that's exactly what he did.
07:38I didn't.
07:39I thought it'd be all over within three rounds.
07:41But, you know, when I got in the ring after, because I was shouting, just, you know, anywhere.
07:48I got anywhere.
07:49What are you rushing me for?
07:50And I was like, oh, sorry, sorry.
07:51So, but, but like, obviously he knows what he's doing.
07:54And, um, actually now quite pleased that we got the rounds.
07:57Yeah.
07:58To be honest.
07:59It's really random.
08:00I was on Twitter and I saw Jake Paul's mom said she wants to get in the ring and punch you.
08:04She said she doesn't like the smug look on your face.
08:06She is promoting her book.
08:07So I'm not sure if she wants, you know, but did you see that?
08:10What did you think of that?
08:11I am.
08:12I was very sad because I've actually, I couldn't have been nicer and more respectful of Jake and what he's done.
08:17And I think Logan's amazing.
08:18I think he's an incredible athlete.
08:20Um, and I shook Jake Paul's dad's hand in the ring, you know, and if I would have seen mom, I would have said, all right.
08:27But we've, I think over the years we've obviously had our beef and she probably don't like me anyway.
08:32And I am probably a little bit smug.
08:34I wasn't smug after the fight because I would have been more smug if it was all over and around.
08:41So, um, no, I'll give Jake respect.
08:44And, um, yeah, sorry, Jake's mom doesn't like me, but if she can send me a free book, that'd be fantastic.
08:52Adam Catterall provided a forthright and candid assessment of the Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul fight, emphasizing the significant imbalance modern boxing faces when popularity influences matchups.
09:04He argued that Jake Paul's rapid rise in the sport owes far more to his social media presence and celebrity status than to genuine technical skill or experience inside the ring.
09:14According to Catterall, even while deliberately restraining his full strength, Anthony Joshua displayed remarkable control, timing and precision, landing punches that caused real damage and highlighted the gulf in class between the fighters.
09:27This stark contrast sparked speculation that certain aspects of the fight may have been influenced by external pressures rather than purely sporting considerations.
09:36Rumors circulated that Jake Paul reportedly attempted to manage or manipulate the pacing of the match to minimize risk and maintain appearances, reflecting broader concerns about celebrity boxing, prioritizing spectacle over authenticity.
09:50Catterall's observations underscore how modern hype driven fights can distort competitive integrity, placing the focus on entertainment and marketability rather than skill strategy and the traditional values that define professional boxing.
10:03Standing in that ring thinking for my own credibility, I've got to knock you out, but I've got to try and knock you out where I'm not hurting you as much as what I could if I unleashed.
10:15And with the punch you said that he landed, it's not his best punch, his most powerful punch, right?
10:21Yep.
10:22And he's shattered his jaw in two places, right?
10:25So Anthony Joshua gets his 70 million, whatever it is.
10:28But I think he's sitting there thinking, thank God, thank God for that.
10:31Thank God.
10:32On a human level, I've come out, all right, of sort of not reputation, but I haven't hurt him as bad as what I could have.
10:39There should be an awful amount of people breathing a massive sigh of relief.
10:42Anybody that put that fight together, athletic commissions, like you said.
10:46Well, it wasn't a fight.
10:46No, it wasn't at all.
10:47Like you said, it was a prize fight.
10:49It was an event.
10:50Anthony, if Anthony damages him, he's got to live with that for the rest of his life.
10:53Absolutely.
10:53That's a lot of stress to deal with, you know what I mean?
10:55So I'm sure he's bleeding in the size of relief.
10:58The team that have put him in there, that have negotiated that for him, but the authorities that put that on and commissioned it as a proper boxing match, I have no doubt.
11:05Does that go on his way?
11:06Yeah, it's a professional boxing match.
11:07Do you know what?
11:08If I was Anthony Joshua, I would be saying I don't want that on my record, but for the credibility of them putting the fight on, they would have said to him, no, we've got to say this.
11:18It's been commissioned.
11:19It's going to be a proper fight.
11:21And yeah, I found it.
11:23I love my boxing, but I just find the whole thing really, really unedifying.
11:27You said about get followers.
11:29You mentioned Tommy Fury.
11:30Tommy Fury is nowhere near, nowhere near his level of getting like a British title fight or whatever.
11:36No win here.
11:37Basically, he's like...
11:39Beat Jake Paul.
11:40Oh yeah, sorry.
11:40Yeah, beat Jake Paul.
11:41But what I'm saying is that...
11:43I stand by that.
11:44And I think Tommy would have admitted that, you know what I mean?
11:46To become a British champion is a very prestigious thing to do.
11:49And I think he would struggle to do that.
11:50Yeah.
11:51Sam Jones offered a candid and unfiltered reaction to the Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul fight,
11:57emphasizing that the bout was challenging to watch, not because of brutal exchanges,
12:01but due to glaring technical deficiencies on display.
12:04He pointed out that Jake Paul struggled with fundamental aspects of boxing,
12:08including basic defensive techniques, proper footwork, and timely responses to Joshua's
12:13combinations.
12:14These repeated lapses created a sense of imbalance throughout the fight,
12:18highlighting the clear gap in experience and skill.
12:20Observers noted that some sequences appeared almost choreographed,
12:24as if the action had been subtly guided to prevent either fighter from facing undue risk.
12:28While Jake Paul undoubtedly put in significant training,
12:31Jones suggested that the mismatch in talent and ring intelligence,
12:35along with alleged hints of scripted pacing,
12:37contributed to a viewing experience that felt uneasy for those expecting genuine competitive
12:42tension.
12:42The fight underscored the risks of mixing celebrity appeal with professional-level boxing,
12:47revealing how spectacle can sometimes overshadow skill and authenticity,
12:51leaving fans questioning the legitimacy of contests,
12:54where performance and entertainment intersect so visibly.
12:57Action to Anthony Joshua knocking out and breaking Jake Paul's jaw.
13:02Just talk to me right now about the fight itself and then we'll break it down.
13:06A bit of a crap fight, if we're all honest.
13:09It was like watching Jaws 2 when all the kids went out on their boats and they were in the middle of the sea
13:16and the shark was just surrounding the boat.
13:21Just like, that's what it was like.
13:24It was just like, it was like a shark circling its prey and just like,
13:29it was like nibbling, nibbling and eventually, eventually got him.
13:34But Jake Paul showed big plums in there, no matter what anybody says about him,
13:39because I've seen people say, yeah, he went in there to survive.
13:41Yeah, okay, he went in there to survive.
13:44He's a guy that's been boxing a couple of years against a unified champion of the world
13:49who can really punch.
13:51Yeah, it wasn't the best, it wasn't the best fight.
13:56It wasn't, it just wasn't the best thing to watch, was it?
13:58Like, it was just, yeah, it wasn't great.
14:02I just want to see now Tyson Fury against Anthony Joshua.
14:06I think at the stages of their careers they're at, AJ and Tyson Fury,
14:13we don't need to see interim fights, Andrew.
14:15We don't need to see interim fights because they're just potential banana skins.
14:18We want to see two of the best heavyweights of this era going at it,
14:23and we need to see it next.
14:26Following the fight, Luke Thomas emerged as a critical voice in the aftermath,
14:30challenging the positive attention Jake Paul received.
14:32He emphasized that stepping into the ring with a world-class fighter like Anthony Joshua
14:37should not be celebrated without scrutiny.
14:39Thomas argued that the spectacles surrounding the match
14:42overshadowed the genuine dangers involved.
14:44Observers speculated that Paul's pre-fight confidence,
14:47combined with certain in-ring behaviors,
14:50aligned with rumors that he tried to script portions of the fight.
14:53Thomas warned that celebrating such contests sets a dangerous precedent,
14:57blurring the line between entertainment and real competition.
15:00Him surviving kind of feeds into the story of him being perhaps a little bit better than
15:04we sometimes think, although I don't really co-sign on that.
15:08Let me make the point.
15:09The first point is, I think people are overreacting a little bit.
15:15A little bit.
15:17People were suggesting when I got on social media that this was like the biggest farce
15:21they'd ever seen in their life, and this was how could he fight like this,
15:24and this was a disaster, and Joshua should have got him out there earlier.
15:27There is probably some evidence to suggest that Joshua,
15:30I don't think Joshua was carrying him in the sense of,
15:34hey, they coordinated this ahead of time.
15:36But was Joshua really stepping on the gas?
15:38No, I don't think he was really stepping on the gas.
15:40There were times I think he clearly pulled his punches,
15:43partly because Jake was squirmy and rotating on the outside.
15:48Also in part because I think, as I indicated on Friday,
15:51he's watching this guy with pretty bad footwork.
15:53He was literally tripping over himself, and he realized he just can't keep this up.
15:58So, okay, so there was that.
16:01But people were reacting like, how could this be?
16:04How could this have happened?
16:05Guys, on Friday's MK, and then before that, earlier in the week on Submission Radio,
16:10they asked me on Submission Radio, how do you think he's going to fight?
16:13And I'm like, he's going to run.
16:14And they're like, you don't think he's going to clinch?
16:15I'm like, okay, he'll clinch at times,
16:17but then the rest of the time, he's going to run.
16:21Like, what did you, like, what other way was this going to go?
16:27What other way was this, what other way was this ever going to go?
16:30Chael Sonnen voiced strong criticism regarding the match,
16:34stressing that fights like this are far too risky to occur under normal circumstances.
16:38He described the contest as feeling less like a true boxing competition
16:42and more like a struggle for survival,
16:44where both physical and reputational stakes were dangerously high.
16:48Sonnen highlighted that inexperienced fighters entering the ring with elite professionals
16:51put themselves in life-threatening situations.
16:54The rumored scripting by Jake Paul, coupled with these high-risk matchups,
16:58magnifies the issue.
16:59According to Sonnen,
17:00the culture of blending celebrity with sport risks
17:03undermining the integrity of boxing while endangering participants unnecessarily.
17:08Analysts noted that Jake Paul's approach in the fight
17:10appeared unusually cautious at times,
17:12raising questions about his intentions.
17:14While some interpreted this as a prudent strategy,
17:17others speculated that certain moments seemed choreographed
17:19to allow Joshua to dominate without extreme risk.
17:22This reportedly aligns with rumors that Paul attempted to influence the pacing and sequences
17:27to protect himself and maximize entertainment value.
17:31These guys fought.
17:33That was not a boxing match.
17:36It just wasn't.
17:36But Jake Paul had a very healthy fear for his life while he was in there.
17:42And he was moving as such.
17:44He was staying away from him.
17:46He was running away.
17:47He was trying to get distance.
17:49Then he was trying to step in to win this athletic competent.
17:52And then he's trying to get out of the way so that he doesn't get hurt again.
17:54I mean, he was fighting.
17:57Then it turns to where he can't stay away anymore.
17:59So now he's got to go the other way.
18:01He's got to go forward.
18:02So now he's clenched him.
18:03Now he's dropping down to his knees.
18:04He's going to blow the waist.
18:05He's getting to double leg positions.
18:07He was fighting.
18:09These guys were fighting.
18:10Jake was fighting for his survival.
18:13And you could so see it.
18:16You could see this animal who's been caged.
18:21And is just trying to make it through.
18:24Not even kill its prey.
18:25Just make it through.
18:28And it was incredible.
18:30It was really incredible.
18:31On the back end, some of the comments that I made or that I had heard were so confusing to me.
18:42It was a very good competition.
18:44I will tell you, it breaks my heart, too, that Anthony Joshua can't get him out of there in one round.
18:53Dave Portnoy made a comment before the fight.
18:55He said, I like Jake.
18:55I wish well for Jake.
18:56Of course I'm taking Joshua.
18:58And Portnoy made his point.
18:59And he said, because I believe in boxing.
19:02This isn't if I'm cheering for Jake or if I think that Joshua is more experienced or better.
19:06I believe in boxing.
19:08I believe boxing is real.
19:12If boxing is an actual sport, if it is an actual sweet science, then, of course, a guy that's done it 11 times cannot compete with the Olympic champion.
19:22Of course.
19:23That's it for today's video.
19:26Stay tuned until next time.
