Former Unified HW World Champion Anthony Joshua lost the first 4 Rounds against The Face of Boxing as Jake Paul put on a technical and tactical, defensive master-class of Mayweather standards, whilst countering and hurting Joshua, but against the odds, Rocky Balboa style, Anthony Joshua started to land multiple power shots, scoring 4 knockdowns en route to an unlikely victory.

I think JP took his foot off the gas instead of keeping the pressure on.
From what I read, he had AJ on noodle legs
JP is still FOTY

Joshua did not land a shot in the first 4 rounds, and Jake Paul landed some blistering counters. Joshua looked a punch away from defeat, but Jake Paul did not train for this fight, after beating prime Tyson, he thought AJ would be easy, but AJ has power, real power, and the first knockdown, The Face of Boxing's legs never recovered.
Jake Paul will win the rematch and be better for it long term. 2028 Jake Paul vs Logan Paul for The Keys to the World is still happening. Nash demands you watch it, as he knows that you will also see the subtle work that Jake Paul did in those first 4 rounds, and that the punches it seemed Joshua landed, actually missed by 2-3mm.
So put this morning's responsibilities on hold, put the Bagz down, and enjoy the Jake Paul subtle masterclass, followed by AJ's re-priming and looking better than ever for R5 and R6. Eddie Hearn was dressed in white and looked like a bit of a pr@t, which also had huge relevance to the fight, of course. Nash out - His MajestyComment
