The way I see this. AJ feels like it's a wannabie trying hard to play at the highest level of a sport he's a fan of. So I think AJ might treat JP as a fan and beat him up just enough where he doesn't flatline him, but gets the ref to jump in and stop the fight, preventing AJ from truly KOing JP the f**k out.
He's going to treat this like when all these people want to get punched in the stomach by a professional boxer to feel what they punch like. AJ is going to give JP just enough of the taste without badly hurting him because AJ has to simply know he has every advantage in the world vs JP and JP is just trying to earn some boxing respect and in doing so, honoring AJ with a massive paycheck.
