Summary - Jake ran around for 4 rounds while AJ pulled punches, kept diving at his ankles, then AJ broke his jaw in round 6 after he was done playing with his food. It was embarrassing.

Didn't realise this was last night. Assumed Joshua would be well paid to at least stand the cunt up for a few rounds, but maybe Paul is deluded enough to think he didn't need to stipulate that in the contract.
I was disappointed when Tyson didn't kill him so this is nice. In an ideal world he shuts up and fucks off now but if he's too addicted to the attention he should up the stakes next time, maybe wrestle a Grizzly or something

“We think he broke his jaw. He’s fine,” Bidarian said. “We met with Netflix afterwards. He took a shower, he drove himself to the hospital. A broken jaw is very common in sports, particularly in boxing and MMA, and I think the recovery time from the doctors and surgeons we already talked to is four to six weeks.”

AJ has always been a plodder, if Paul’s plan was just to run for 24 mins and lose 8-0 it kind of makes sense, but he’s clearly nowhere near conditioned for that. Anyway, was funny when he got his face busted I suppose, but even in the context of professional boxing the whole thing was so unedifying.
― crisp, Saturday, 20 December 2025 15:26 (one month ago)
It's horrible for the sport. Obviously AJ was pulling his punches and not going full out until the later rounds, Jake at one point had his gloves down while against the ropes and Joseph had a clear shot and he just stood there and did nothing.
Jake clearly wanted a "quality loss", he knew he couldn't win but wanted the narrative to be "holy shit Paul lasted 6 rounds", and the announcers were happy to foster that narrative as if he actually did anything to earn that as opposed to delaying the inevitable by running away and lunging at dudes legs.
But I mean ain't no way he can book a huge event like this after this, all of his fights have been crap but him "winning" them kept the allure going. In this one he embarrassed himself and the sport and got loudly booed throughout and showed he can't compete with real fighters.

xps I’m not sure that’s true, the ring was extra large and AJ isn’t quick/doesn’t really cut the ring off that well - anyone who has a reasonable level of fitness and knows how to tuck up/clinch would be able to go rounds if they had no intention of actually fighting - which was clearly the case here. Once Paul was knackered he actually threw a few punches, caught AJ clean with one and saw that it had zero effect, he was too tired to run away and AJ broke his jaw with the first clean punch he landed.

OK, this quote from Anthony Joshua is pretty amazing...
"I needed to give this guy a systematic breakdown. I know what type of fighter he is. I said I'm going to take his soul and I said I'm going to see it leaving his body round after round. And when the time comes, some people are just there to get knocked out. I said it and that's exactly what happened."

seems by far the most likely scenario.
the only other explanation that has a remote chance of being true would be that he understood he would be in for a massive beat down, but was cashing in his ephemeral 'minor celebrity' chips for one big payday before those chips lost all their value. in which case he also was counting on a lot of people hating him enough to want to see that spectacle.

It was a dangerous stunt, but one which made him $100m. He didn’t get the shot beaten out of him, he took one punch clean and that was the end of it.
In terms of the gravy train continuing to roll on, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The crowd were booing when he ‘fought’ Tyson but people still tuned in to this. He will just need to find a new angle (fighting a tiny guy like Tank, fighting for a title (god forbid), fighting a weirdo like Ryan Garcia etc etc). And he will now just point to the fact that he, a cruiserweight, went 6 rounds with a not-completely-shot AJ which is better than a bunch of genuinely legit heavyweights have done. It’s a joke, but hey it’s boxing.

The reason the gravy train kept going even despite boos is because, other than Tommy Fury, he kept winning. And Fury was a loss on split decision which is easily played as a win.
The mystique was 'child star hanging with world class boxers despite only fighting for 4 years'. It wasn't true, it was stage managed, but it was true enough for the media and his stans abd casual passersby.
He is gonna be too chickenshit to fight anybody like this again, and is anybody going to be interested in him going back to fighting old beat up tomato cans again?
That works when you're building to something bigger, much less interesting after you took a leap forward and revealed your ceiling

A real top flight boxer like Joshua would know he could kill Paul if he wasn't careful and who would want that on their conscience? According to the quote from him after the fight (posted upthread) he carefully battered Paul for the first five rounds until he reduced him to a hollow shell. Then he finished him with one punch, because he wanted him to know what it means to get in the ring with someone with real skills.

If anything represented the lack of confidence in the legitimacy of the whole thing was the gambling line.

doesnt make a lot of sense
tbf aj had perfectly good reason to slow walk it a bit one you want to give the fans a lil something to watch and two he was being super cautious just cause he didnt want to randomly walk into a big punch even if it was super unlikely, and then paul extended the fight too with his various shenanigans, tbf aj kinda looked like shit out there obvs he was never an amazing fighter but he might be cooked cooked, guess hes fighting fury next so we will see

― lag∞n, Saturday, 20 December 2025 21:37 (one month ago)
AJ wasn’t carrying him or pulling punches. He isn’t some sort of killing machine, he’s obviously 100x the boxer Paul will ever be (and he’s a lot bigger than him), but he’s also slow, stiff and relatively ‘basic’ in his technique. He’s not been a world champion for ages and in his last fight, which was over a year ago, he got knocked out extremely badly.
Jake ran away from him for as long as his legs allowed, then he spent a couple of rounds just falling over whenever AJ was in range. AJ didn’t really have an answer to this because it’s a really fucking weird situation which he has obviously never experienced before. He probably should have sparred against random passers-by to prepare. Then Jake kept getting told off for not fighting and everyone started booing, so Jake threw some punches and then he got knocked out.
