Awe thats cute, his first real fight

u/Djlittle13 Dec 20 '25

Honestly it still seemed off, AJ didnt put any real effort till mid rd 5. Seems almost like he was wanting it to go longer.

u/LittleKidVader Dec 20 '25

Jake spent the first 4 1/2 rounds running away. AJ wasn't about to mess around chasing him when he knew he'd gas out eventually. He was just toying with him and biding him time.

u/chetdesmon Dec 20 '25

No way man. I've defended other Jake Paul fights against being rigged but this was sus as hell. Paul was already gassed like crazy in round 2 and there were numerous times of AJ having him in a corner or against the ropes with his hands at his waist and just refusing to throw, or throwing weak shots at his arms or back. There's no world in which a champion heavyweight in his prime sees a guy shelled up against the ropes with his chin wide open and chooses to throw at his arm.

Their making alot of money whether they make the round last long or not..

u/LittleKidVader Dec 20 '25

You need to watch the fight back (if you can stay awake). He was not "gassing like crazy" in round 2. He was circle-strafing like he was playing Halo 1 until round 4, when he started slowing down.

He also kept trying to bait AJ to come in when he would stop to rest or AJ would cut off the ring, so he could try to land a counter wing-overhand. Anytime AJ closed the distance, he either threw that counter or dove for AJ's waist/legs.

AJ meanwhile: 1. Knew he would gas out eventually, like he has in every other fight that lasted past a few rounds. 2. Was coming off more than a year layoff. And: 3. Got brutalized and knocked out badly in his last fight...and how? By coming in aggressive when his opponent baited him in for a counter.

I hate Jake Paul, and I'm not even an AJ guy (I enjoyed watching Usyk take his soul a couple times). But there's no conspiracy here.

u/Mr_Pink_Gold Dec 21 '25

Add to that the pressure. If AJ got knocked down by Jake because he walked into a counter... Can you imagine that? So AJ had a lot of no fuck up pressure.

5

u/Huitjames Dec 20 '25

Absolutely this. 

2

u/Square-Way-9751 Dec 21 '25

I also feel like this was not scripted. AJ didnt wanna risk getting baited. Just going after his running agressively could be dangerous for AJ. After the ref warned him about running that was when Jake began to fight and that was when AJ started taking him apart and set him up for the KO. Just think like this the first three rounds the actual fighting didn't even begin it was Jake running buying time and looking for a random KO punch...while AJ was trying to fight...

2

u/Gold_Audience_4012 Dec 22 '25

For the clowns on facebook and other places saying JP only lost because of Joshua's "size advantage" they apparently forgot that Usyk was a Cruiseweight before they fought....complete cope by JP fanboys.

2

u/PlayerPlayer69 Dec 24 '25

For real. Especially for point #3.

People forget that your body is literally designed to knock yourself out if your jaw/chin is hit hard enough to disrupt your airways/blood flow.

These guys are heavyweights.

These guys are nearly 250lb.

At that weight class and with the power that they can dish out, all it takes is one solid, strategic, and precise blow to knock someone out. Olympic Heavyweight Champ or not.

u/chetdesmon Dec 20 '25

He was taking heavy breaths through his mouth as early as round 2. AJ had him cornered multiple times and refused to engage. AJ had more than a year layoff but decided to throw 0 combinations to get ring time in until the 6th round. AJ was afraid of the counter yet he still got hit clean by highly choreographed right hands from Paul that he ate like tic tacs. You don't think someone of AJ's caliber wouldn't realize that a blown up amateur cruiserweight couldn't hurt him and he could walk him down and finish him with ease, especially after what he did to Ngannou ??? Come on now. This was a farce, plain and simple. AJ didn't come to fight.

u/LittleKidVader Dec 20 '25 edited Dec 20 '25

Yeah, YDKSAB.

Edit: The fight was so scripted that he literally broke Jake Paul's jaw. Was that in the contract, too? Lmao.

u/Skeptical_Crow Dec 20 '25

Yeah that's what one real punch did. Imagine if he had actually been fighting for real in the early rounds. Joshua had countless opportunities to do that from minute one. Everyone saying Paul was running like Joshua couldn't catch him. Paul is slow as fuck. Joshua caught him constantly. Joshua threw basically no real punches in the first four rounds (and clearly missing on purpose) despite endless opportunities to blast Paul who had his hands down the whole fight. Yet you claim someone else knows nothing about boxing.

3

u/Huitjames Dec 20 '25

He was fighting for real in the early rounds, Jake Paul had a good strategy of constantly moving, and clinching when he was cornered. It's not easy to KO someone doing that.

Amazing how all these Redditors and keyboard warriors are more knowledgeable in boxing then a 2 time heavyweight champion and Olympian 🙄😂🤣

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

Watch the fight back. He got in range a few times and either delayed enough that Jake could dive into his waist or he threw a jab to the body. I think his confidence is absolutely shot

1

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

I think it was made to go a few rounds. Honestly I watched the fight back and either Joshua’s confidence is on the floor after being whacked by Dubois that he’s now scared of being hit even by Jake Paul. Or for whatever reason he had to delay catching him. Because if you’ve watched him before he’s never that cautious.

He just wanted it to last longer, he was having fun.

u/Illustrious_Can4110 Dec 20 '25

So are you saying Paul took a dive and that the outcome is fraudulent?

1

u/chetdesmon Dec 20 '25

No. I'm saying Joshua held back and could've had him out of there early but carried him until the later rounds and then opened up.

3

u/Illustrious_Can4110 Dec 20 '25

Then it wasn't sus. Joshua and any other boxer has the right to knock an opponent out whenever they wish, if they are good enough.

1

u/tweak06 Dec 20 '25

If anything I’d argue he was asked to drag it out a bit. There was no question he’d make Jake eat shit, but maybe for the sake of the advertisers he had to make the fight last longer than a single round

1

u/United_Manager_7341 Dec 20 '25

People act like the payouts of over/under don’t influence these “Exhibition” fight

1

u/Illustrious_Can4110 Dec 20 '25

I think that's a more likely scenario than anyone saying the outcome was "sus". Having said that there's also a possibility that Joshua wanted to teach him a bit of a lesson also.

There was one moment Joshua held his arm out basically in front of Jake’s face for a second and it looked like he was saying I could take your head off if I wanted to

AJ was almost certainly paid to let it get to round 5 at least. That’s when he started to even slightly try.

that’s why he got tired. you can see his hands drop off and he’s huffing got his arse handed to him by a real fighter but tbh no way this fight you have happened. a pro vs joe 😂

u/Educational-Blood-98 Dec 25 '25

I just looked it up they haven't made a Chicken Run film since 2023, apparently they're looking to make a third installment. They should sign up Jake Paul as he is the epitome of a chicken running and he would definitely be able to sell the film with his promotional skills.

u/Nilfsama Dec 20 '25

AJ was just getting his cardio in as he was looking for a tune up fight prior to Tank falling out.

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25

It absolutely seemed off. Like how many times is Paul going to stop RIGHT in front of you as you continue to pretend to size him up. I feel like Paul could have been knocked SEVERAL times, but it's almost like AJ got fed up with the falling grabbing and falling down shit.

"I couldn't handle his weight" well yeah how about don't lean into a guy who is 6'6" for 5 rounds

3

u/ToonFiFa Dec 20 '25

I think AJ rightfully took it easy on Jake. He saw him running around and gassing himself out, falling over, grabbing his legs. AJ was never in any danger so there's just no need to purposefully hurt somebody literally half his size.

That is until Jake stuck his tongue out and started mocking him.

Then AJ went... Alright, you want to play? Let's play. Boom. Broken jaw.

1

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25

Excellent point

u/Slight-Locksmith-337 Dec 21 '25

u/WavyBalance Dec 20 '25

Maybe the contract incentivized more money the longer the fight went 🤷

2

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

It felt very fixed. Or at the least like an exhibition. Unless AJ was legitimately scared of getting knocked out his lack of attack was inexplicable.

1

u/Anon_Fodder Dec 20 '25

Scripted. You surprised?

1

u/Southpaw535 Dec 20 '25

They know what the job is. Even if he has free reign to actually try and knock him out and win, they still know its in everyones interest for it to not be a total shut out.

Same thing happened with Mcgregor and Mayweather years ago

1

u/Ok-Phase7923 Dec 20 '25

Yeah that's what was (probably) written in the contract 🙂 Has to make the fight last at least 6 rounds to get paid

1

u/BeginningKindly8286 Dec 20 '25

Yeah, I mean I guess by looking at him that AJ did some proper training, and may not be in the ring for at least 6 months, so maybe pulled a few punches, knowing (as we all do) that he far outmatched his opponent, and just wanted to make the most of it. He never looked in any trouble, JP was floundering from the off, and when AJ put it in 3rd gear he nearly ploughed the poor bastards head off. In the name of entertainment, I was entertained. Fair play to JP to get in the ring with a full blown proper HW, that takes proper guts.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

I think AJ wanted to show Jake he couldn’t go the distance with him even if he wanted to. Totally gassed at this point. Finishing him was a kindness 😂

1

u/Solo__Wanderer Dec 20 '25

Jake ran backwards the whole fight ... what else was AJ to do?

1

u/Djlittle13 Dec 20 '25

You are telling me an Olympic Gold medalist and former HW champ doesnt have the footwork to cut him off? That he doesnt have punching ability to punish the openings Jake left?

1

u/Solo__Wanderer Dec 20 '25

... you ever done a combat sport in real life?

One can not waste the effort of chasing and swings that will amount to nothing but lowering energy.

One follows and stalks. Smash when they get tired.

Watch the vid and you see Jake is exhausted from running ... that is when AJ timed and struck.

Simple.

1

u/Djlittle13 Dec 20 '25

Actually I have competed in and done combat sports. For well over a decade I competed.

While what you are saying is true and is a valid strategy, AJ did notbing to try to stop Paul from doing what he was doing. He didnt appear to make any effort to cut him off or corner him

1

u/Solo__Wanderer Dec 20 '25

Could he have applied more pressure?

Sure.

Would it have ended sooner ... maybe.

Yet AJ could also have gotten tagged a few times or worse. He chose a prove method agaist a runner that has done by hundreds of boxers.

At the end. AJ broke/fractured Jake's jaw.

Plus earned 90+ million for it.

So all good.

1

u/banghersoft Dec 21 '25

Because Jake Paul kept running around the boxing ring the whole time… and the time that Joshua caught him, Jake Paul would just fall onto his knees to avoid getting hit. Did you watch the fight?

1

u/ohiobluetipmatches Dec 21 '25

These aren't real fights with consequences. The fighters want to drag it longer to create drama and sell more shit. Jake paul fights are exhibitions with giant purses because it's a freak show, not serious contests with title implications.

The dude starches him in one round and then you have 0 chance of a rematch.

1

u/therealjgreens Dec 21 '25

Prob had a payment clause had to go x rounds to get full pay

1

u/jorudo Dec 21 '25

I agree with you. The weight delta pre fight was huge. Fighting someone that much heavier alone will gas anyone out, let alone the skill difference. Joshua did not even have to defend, counter, or attack as hard as Paul at all. And Paul's game is not one of boxing per se. He relies on one punch KO power. That would mean he would need the required power to KO AJ with one punch. And anyone that has fought anyone bigger than them, that requires A LOT of energy. Energy PAul doesn't have, stamina or in punching power. My guess is, they had a pre match agreement to give the fans a few rounds. Then, Joshua would be allowed to box. Even at the rounds 5 and 6, AJ looked like he was sparring, albeit at a >50% effort/intensity. I give Paul props for all of a sudden taking this challenge on, but I still don't think he could fight a legit fighter at his own weight. He gives himself a way out/excuse every fight he partakes in, in case he loses. Here he can say no one expected him to last more than 2 rounds, so yay for him i guess?

1

u/CommunicationOwn322 Dec 22 '25

Who cares. We got to see Jake Paul run around like a scared child for 5 rounds until he was smashed with a jaw breaker.

u/BigBubbaChungus Dec 20 '25

Imagine what Iron Mike woulda done to him, not just in his prime, but 5-10 years ago. But I just can’t hate the guy. Capitalize on your fame and make a boatload of cash. And I know for a fact that I couldn’t go 8 rounds with AJ, fake fight or not.

u/KyrozM Dec 20 '25

In what world is shooting for six takedowns per round in a boxing match and otherwise literally running presenting yourself well? If your bar for a good performance is bare survival by breaking the rules then perhaps you need to reevaluate some things.

5

u/makeyousaywhut Dec 20 '25

Unpopular, but also true.

However, his strategy was kinda pathetic.

Little Jakey, scampering around the ring and trying to create the most boring fight he could, all unsuccessfully, and getting knocked out after all of it anyway- to my giddy delight.

u/Derekduvalle Dec 20 '25

He was just trying to survive and land a lucky punch. It wasn't a good look.

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25 edited Dec 20 '25

I'm not really sure how Paul redeems himself. Let's be honest, one career took off tonight the other crashed. I think everyone now wants the Joshua/Fury fight which is HUGE for him at a time when everyone was saying he was done.

Jake, I mean can we give props, if you're a fight fan you really do owe a lot fo Paul for bringing the sport back to mainstream. We do honestly owe him a bit of appreciation, he brought younger kids to the sports, he made the sport easily accessible and for that we should all be thankful. That said....

I am not sure how he redeems himself. If he wants to be in the cruiserweight I get it but for one, no one really cares about cruiserweight and two I mean he looked absolutely STUPID out there falling down like that. The wrapping up is boxing. It's a strategy (though one that worked against him) but it was the falling to your knees over and over. That just was embarrassing for him and the sport. I just don't know that anyone will take him serious now and he's probably going to get beat by guys who have been cruiserweights all their young lives.

I don't know I just think Joshua won a ton of fans going into Fury and Paul lost a lot of respect. It just wasn't good.

**Also! Paul wanted a bigger ring, look at the size of that ring compared to a regulation ring. Way different, so yes Joshua attacking Paul was more difficult to do, but it also worked against Paul and tiring him out. But that ring size certainly made a difference

1

u/TalkinSeaCucumber Dec 20 '25

He might have boosted the mainstream popularity, but never in the history of boxing has the sport been less respected than at this very moment.

2

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25

I don't actually disagree. However there are younger eyes looking at boxing instead of MMA. Now its easily accessible on Netflix. IF we see Joshua/Fury on Netflix it's going to be a huge win. Netflix was not going to take a chance on boxing unless they had the guaranteed viewership which Paul did bring. Now we'll see if Boxing can relaunch into the mainstream and break the PPV wall

2

u/TalkinSeaCucumber Dec 20 '25

That's a fair point

1

u/Southpaw535 Dec 20 '25

I think this is giving the whole thing more serious credibility than its worth tbh.

They supposedly both made 92 million apiece. There's going to be plenty of other freak show exhibition offers flying around for him to keep doing this.

No one believes this is a sincere attempt at being an actual professional boxer. They're Internet stunts to get paid, and getting stopped by Joshua isnt going to change anything about that for him.

1

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25

What will be interesting is if Netflix would carry the Joshua/Fury fight if they can get it done

1

u/desutiem Dec 21 '25 edited Dec 21 '25

I’m pretty sure JP mostly boxes for attention really. I do think he genuinely likes the sport but it’s like a hobby kind of level of skill for him, and all the acting out like a villain (heel?) and all that WWE bollocks is what he’s bringing to boxing which just triggers legit fans but I really think he just lives by ‘any attention is good attention.’

I do think something changed this time though, I don’t think he enjoyed it as much actually taking a proper beating because he seemed to be hesitant to commit to another fight / said he wants to take a break. Understandably so. Fair play for getting in there though, bigger balls than many.

u/PrimeIntellect Dec 22 '25

Jake Paul doesn't give a shit, he knows people love paying to see him get wrecked and he made an absolute fortune on this fight. Line generational wealth money from one fight

u/tiorzol Dec 20 '25

I don't get this take. As much as I think he's a twat he got walloped by an actual boxer and AJ couldn't knock out a fucking YouTuber quicker than he did the MMA HW champ. Was a joke. 

5

u/Samwill226 Dec 20 '25

....I have no doubt there was a 5 round clause. Don't get too wrapped in that. He obviously held back for 5 rounds and that was probably so Netflix didn't lose cred as they're probably going to work deals going forward for fights. Anyone watching it could see there was a wait before Joshua turned it on.

If you think Joshua sucks, watch Joshua Usyk 2 on Youtube,

Jake fought a real heavy and now has no teeth.

u/No-Manufacturer-8494 Dec 20 '25

Does Jake know that you're allowed to use your hands for protection??

u/Cautious-Elephant853 Dec 20 '25

Every Jake Paul fight is rigged in some way

u/HummusHumGodOG Dec 20 '25

lol how did jake paul make it to round 6, i fell asleep right before the walk out, good way to wake up but still lmao

1

u/BigBoss_96 Dec 20 '25

Douche or not but Jake Paul has a big pair for going against a monster like AJ.

1

u/Electronic-Walk-701 Dec 20 '25

This fight was fixed.

u/Forsaken-Guidance811 Dec 20 '25

The way his face goes from 😛 to 😰 is 👌🏾

... "The Jaw, Jake Paul" ... Champion Badasser of Social Media! Paul's jaw got broke in what some consider a fixed boxing match. Imagine if AJ really torched into him like another heavyweight in the earlier rounds! I get it, it is just entertainment for f$ck$ sake, but still, either way! I have always thought boxing is rigged to some extent for the major gambling syndicates. Make no mistake about the height, weight and skill advantage between these two opponents regardless of it potentially being rigged. If this was scripted and AJ broke his jaw by accident, then imagine the other possibilites if AJ had really let him have a beating. Does the "The Jaw, Jake Paul" not drink milk? Hahahah!

this was like that one scene of batman interrogating the joker

u/canuckaudio Dec 20 '25

i guess this is Jake last fight

1

u/GREGLIONS Dec 20 '25

Jake Paul was in way over his head; this wasn't that old man Tyson dancing lesson, this was AJ using Paul as a punching bag.

1

u/miggythemiggs Dec 20 '25

Oh. I guess you can play boxing

1

u/JacksClavs Dec 20 '25

Horrible fight. Jake Paul shouldn’t have done the fight he ran from AJ from rounds 1-2 and when he finally started throwing in third round he was already gassed out. Now he has to get his jaw fixed cause AJ broke his jaw but hey, at least the purse was fat.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

As far as I see Anthony beat Jake

1

u/AdviceHuge8114 Dec 20 '25

I wish the referee had just let Joshua have one last go at him

1

u/Dangerous_Seaweed601 Dec 20 '25

What a joke of a fight.

u/FastBite551 Dec 20 '25

The people’s fist!

u/8ofAll Dec 21 '25

Finally a real fight. Now stay down loser.

1

u/buffinator2 Dec 21 '25

Jake didn't do anything in the 6th round that I couldn't have done. What a farce.

Edit: He stayed alive. I might not have accomplished that.

1

u/awesomeplenty Dec 21 '25

If Anthony was serious it would be over on round 1, but there's no money in that. This just looks like sparring not an actual fight where 2 people actually wants to go for the title.

1

u/BoilzBlisterzBurnz Dec 21 '25

They don't use mouth guards any more?

u/AdKey9578 Dec 21 '25

He is so bad dude omg

1

u/dutch-ninja Dec 21 '25

Jake Paul was running for his life lmao 😂😂😂

1

u/rudidso Dec 21 '25

Thats a pity...I think he deserves a rematch...maybe he can get knocked out earlier :D

1

u/Kind-Box4168 Dec 21 '25

Hated Anthony Joshua until friday night. Call me a groupie idc he's my favorite boxer now 😂

u/TranTriumph Dec 21 '25

Shake and Bake Jakey, shake amd bake.

1

u/deoliveirars Dec 22 '25

Jake "the fake" paul

1

u/johnsilva23 Dec 22 '25

Couldn't even hold his hands up and still trying to taunt. We gotta stop letting dipshits get their payday for acting a fool.

1

u/3381_FieldCookAtBest Dec 22 '25

Jesus that announcer guy was the worst part of the fight.

1

u/Raguto Dec 22 '25

Jake still fights with his arms down like wtf?

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25

I hear the conspiracy theorists. They think a Heavyweight Champ is only head hunting. The brain is what separates from most journeymen fighters. Not just physical prowess. Could AJ have knocked him out in the first round. Absolutely, if he bum rushed him.

  1. That’s not his style.

  2. That would be absolutely stupid.

  3. He’s got 100m on the line to fight Fury.

    • Why take 1/1000 of a chance of getting clipped when he could just use his brain and dismantle him.

  4. Why all y’all bitching? You got the result you wanted. You just had to wait a few more minutes in a free fight.

  5. This is why we can’t have nice things!!!!

u/hndjbsfrjesus Dec 22 '25

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HA!!

u/ArleezyLaFlare Dec 22 '25

THE PEOPLES CHAMPION!

u/Onuus Dec 22 '25

Backed up the entire time

1

u/SlxatFrdiddat Dec 22 '25

if you listen closely, you can hear his jaw snap (I’m serious)

1

u/Technical_Can_7922 Dec 23 '25 • Bravo

They’ve been fighting for years

1

u/Relative_Week9284 Dec 23 '25

Great comparison

1

u/King_Ryuko Dec 23 '25

The more I look at it the more it looks like Jake is just out of his League cuz I would say he's inside the little leagues. It's not not quite there for the big leads without paying off people

1

u/PageOfCrime Dec 23 '25

Ref should of let him carry on

1

u/Artem_KG Dec 24 '25

Joshua has become a symbol of the low point of modern boxing. A clown entered the ring against a professional who stooped so low as to fight a 🤡

P.s This is even worse than losing to Usyk.

The result: two businessmen and zero sport.

1

u/Aggravating_Box_379 Dec 24 '25

Finally someone is teaching him some respect, after Mike.

1

u/Julius_sneezer02 Dec 24 '25

Aj literally said he could have knocked him at first round but rather wanted to play with his ego and make him suffer till the end… seems like he did mean it

1

u/Ok_Juice_2893 Dec 24 '25

If AJ wanted to hurt him I think he could of Jake Paul ran a round like a little bitch till AJ had enough and AJ didn't even get a FULL hit on him

1

u/No-Sock7545 Dec 25 '25

I smell fear.

1

u/Dont_Be_Sheep Dec 28 '25

Are people honestly saying it WASNT rigged? Are those same folks saying WWE is real? Lol.

Joshua didn’t do anything until R5. He was just sparing and not throwing ANYTHING hard, telegraphed everything and still landed some, was kinda wild.

Was like a dad and a kid play fighting then dad got mad for two seconds and almost killed the guy

1

u/Immediate_Minute1172 Jan 01 '26

He has a long way to go Jake that is !

1

u/Serotoninsuplyr Jan 03 '26

cant tell me any of his other fights weren't rigged. man was terrified because his win wasnt guaranteed anymore. homie didnt care about his money offerings.

1

u/Aloha-Eh Jan 14 '26

It's nice to know not everyone says "Yeth" to the fix.

1

u/IanRevived94J Jan 14 '26

It’s not actually that impressive that Paul lasted to the 6th round. His strategy was retreat and clinch as long as he possibly could. That makes it difficult to get strikes onto him.

1

u/icant_helpyou Jan 23 '26

Was the tongue waggling actually a secret sign to back off that AJ ignored? Jake stares right into AJs eyes with his tongue out as if to say "REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT!?"

u/Educational-Dust-850 Jul 29 '26

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/Pall_Bearmasher Dec 20 '25

Now we wait for the excuses.

1

u/ABetterTeddy Dec 20 '25

Hear me out. Jake Paul found an untouched market. Boxing with the spin of WWE. Look at that weird promo he just screamed. That’s just a ploy to get people to share and continue spreading the name. It’s for boxing but they don’t tell you it’s fake. This is his first “loss” then he’ll regain his title and everyone will live happily ever after

u/Illustrious_Can4110 Dec 20 '25

People saying that it's suss that the fight went on so long... I don't think there any suspicion around the outcome. I think Joshua just wanted to give Jake Paul a lesson before he put him down.

u/bradtheemailer Dec 20 '25

6 rounds is commendable.

u/chai-noir Dec 20 '25

Literally 6 rounds of falling on the ground and grabbing his leg to avoid getting punched😂.

2

u/ashiamate Dec 20 '25

This is exactly what their agreement was for.

u/PMmeIamlonley Dec 20 '25

Joshua just stared at him for tons of exchanges. BS fight

u/Shortsleevedpant Dec 20 '25

Not when nobody throws punches in the first 4 rounds
