Joshua turned Paul into a punching bag: the blogger ran five rounds

Well, dear skeptics, it has happened. Anyone who bet on a blogger against a professional heavyweight can take comfort in the Stoic philosophy — losses build character.

On December 20, the Kaseia Center arena in Miami became the site of a public execution of hype. Anthony Joshua didn't just defeat Jake Paul — he methodically dismantled the blogger business model of “beat pensioners, collect likes.”

Five rounds of bicycle and one of the truth

The first four rounds turned into a marathon. Paul circled the ring, depicting the Cuban school of boxing without its main component — striking. During the entire battle, the blogger delivered exactly 16 hits to the target. Sixteen. For six rounds.

When the legs refused to run, real boxing began — if you can call it that beating:

• Fifth round — two knockdowns, Paul miraculously survives to the gong
• Sixth round — the third knockdown becomes the last
• The referee stops the fight — curtain

Xrust.ru readers probably remember how we followed Paul's career. The guy really knows how to sell tickets. But boxing is not about sales. Here, a PDF presentation will not save you from a right hook.

Joshua earned up to $60 million in an evening. Paul — about 100 million (thanks to shares in the promotion company). Capitalism is beautiful: the loser takes more than the winner.
