Jake Paul's Analysis And Scorecard For Anthony Joshua Fight Has Got People Talking

Jake Paul believes he won two rounds of his heavyweight showdown with former two-time unified world champion Anthony Joshua, who was "wobbled" by one of his shots.

In total, Paul threw 56 punches during Friday's bout, although his punch accuracy came in at just 29 per cent after the YouTuber-turned-boxer landed just 16 of his shots.

AJ, meanwhile, threw 146 punches and landed 48, which is far from impressive by his usual standards but the Brit walked away with the win following a vicious sixth-round knockout that broke Paul's jaw.

It was a slow start to the contest. In round one, both fighters landed just two punches each, according to Compubox’s records, before Joshua upped the tempo in round two after landing four of his 26 attempted punches.

Paul, meanwhile, landed a single blow in the second, despite attempting six shots.

The internet personality threw even fewer shots in round three, with the American successfully landing three of his five attempts. Joshua, meanwhile, landed seven out of 25.

Round four saw limited success again for both fighters, with Paul landing five out of 13 and Joshua landing just four of 19 attempts, with a success rate of just 21.2 per cent.

Joshua finally found his rhythm in round five, knocking Paul down twice as he landed 20 of 45 shots thrown. To his credit, Paul landed five of 16 attempted shots, with four being classed as ‘power punches’.

Finally, in the sixth and final round, Paul did not lay a glove on Joshua despite attempting six punches. AJ, meanwhile, secured the stoppage and landed 11 shots from 20 attempts.

Overall, Joshua landed 34 ‘power punches’ from 79 attempts while Paul landed just nine from 22 attempts. Still, the latter believes he won two rounds out of six.

Speaking on the iMPAULSIVE podcast, which was released on Tuesday, Jake gave his post-fight analysis, as well as how he scored the fight.

"I mean, it’s not that hard to get your ass beat," Paul said after co-host Mike Majlak praised his efforts. "I won two rounds. For sure. And then he won two and then I got dropped.

"But, yeah, I was doing good. I just think my cardio... just the mental pressure of the big guy and sparring the big people is different than the 10-ounce gloves. So I was feeling his power a lot more.

"But it was a great experience. I learned a lot in there."

"I see where I could have done better," he added later on. "I’m a little disappointed, but I also know how good he is. But I had him wobble at one point. I had him wobbled, but he kept his hands up better this fight."

Here's how fans in the comments section reacted to Paul's analysis.

One said: "Bruh you didn’t wobble AJ," while another commented: "'Wobbled him' absolutely nothing happened when the shot landed lol."

A third wrote: "At no point was AJ wobbled hahahahaha," and a fourth said: "Just to be clear, nobody who watched the fight feels like you won 2 rounds. With that said, props for entering the ring bro."

A fifth added: "What 2 rounds did you win? Felt his power a lot more, you mean the normal boxing regulations."

Jake Paul opens up on his 'biggest mistake' coming into Anthony Joshua fight

After being asked for his thoughts on "moving a lot" around the ring, Paul replied: "It was just mental. He was just imposing his will on me and being massive, and the big shots were landing. And then, yeah, it pretty much all goes downhill from there.

"But I wish I had more than three weeks to prepare, to maybe put on some more muscle. I should have gone to altitude to train. That was my biggest mistake. I just needed to have that extra level of cardio for this, and that can only come from going to altitude."
