Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua?s KO of Jake Paul does big numbers on Netflix

Easy. Win lose or draw, Jeff Lacy was a humble warrior who didn't ever duck any smoke. Malignaggi constantly defamed Pac Man calling him a steroid cheat, although Pac Man never tested positive in 25 years... and because Pauline would never challenge or dare to fight him, even under the most stringent drug testing protocol.. . To me, that's a coward right there. And Pauline is one of those Bensonhurst racists. He tries to be in the closet with it, but I see right through his phony mask. I loved when Broner knocked his lady off, then beat his ass in front of the whole world. Pauline loved her no matter what he said about she was his side piece. I saw the tears in his eyes and his voice was cracking when he said all that macho BS. I know he cried his ass to sleep that night and for weeks afterwards. Seeing that was priceless for me!!! I LOVE AB FOR THAT. (No sean combs), Amir blatantly and unashamedly ducked Kell Brook for a dozen years, until his face was broken on both sides and held together with titanium screws and plates. And his brains were made into scrambled eggs by Bud. Only then would he dare face him, and he still got beat like he stole something. And Wilder, is a loud mouth sore loser, gloated and danced over fallen opponents for years, screamed as loudly and as arrogantly as he could with that dumb bomb squad BS, right up until he got fully punished by Fury and then he blames his own trainer for spiking his water bottle, and a couple dozen other excuses. He promised he would show proof of this slander and of course, he never did. Because he did that to a New York legend like Breland, and never provided proof, nor did he apologize for lying, I don't care nothing about the guy. And since then, Fury and Zhang slept his ass some more. Now, it feels great to me to see him get his brains knocked out. Anymore questions prick?

Ok, so first and foremost, none of the above has anything to do with your claim that Jeff Lacy was a "bad dude". I never said Jeff Lacy wasn't humble, or a warrior. He is both. You said he was a "bad dude", which he's not. You hyped him up as a big win for Calzaghe, when it's not. When you were questioned on that take, you didn't defend your position and instead went to ad hominem attacks.

Such as, you said that if someone questions or talks down on Jeff Lacy they "don't know boxing" because he was on the Olympic team. Nothing to do with outside the ring reasons that you are now bringing to the table.

You can't on one hand say questioning someone because they achieved making the Olympic team means someone "doesn't know boxing" and that it's "wrong" to do so then on the other hand outright disrespect Olympic medalists and professional world champions, who achieved more than Jeff Lacy could ever dream of.

That makes you a hypocrite. You do understand the concept of hypocrisy?

No big audience is watching these 2 in Asia and Australia. Their main audience is US and UK. From the comments you can tell even the casual audience who didn't even know who AJ was in the US let alone Asia

There would be tens of millions of people subscribed to Netflix across the Asia Pacific region. Many, many more than the UK purely on a population basis.

Jake Paul isn't an unknown in these areas. They have the internet and social media in these countries nowadays.

And it was on in the middle of the day on a Saturday. They would have got decent numbers in this region. Similar to the Tyson v Paul fight, it's one of the very few boxing events that people here in Melbourne want to talk to me about. My kids and their mates were all watching.

Your girfriend posted that you are even smaller than Trump

Thought not...

All of this started because you spazzed out because you couldn't defend your position that Jeff Lacy was a "bad dude" for making the Olympic team and he must he respected or else

You're an embarrassment. If by some miracle you've had kids, they should be embarrassed. They're likely inbred either way

Elliot Worsell writing before the fight: "If boxing does anything well, it does that well: it shocks, it upends, it reminds both us and the fighters to never get too coc-ky or comfortable. We have, by way of proof, a whole catalogue of upsets and dramatic knockouts that defy prediction, something even analytical tools like Wise Rank can only attempt to measure, so we should know by now, all of us. We should know not to get ahead of ourselves or believe we have it all figured out. We should expect the unexpected. Always. Besides, no matter the odds, it is seldom as easy as it sounds, winning a fight. Even mismatches require winning – finding the right punch, picking the right moment – and even experienced world champions, like Joshua, must devise a way to win a fight and execute their game plan without messing up.ˋ

Worsell after the fight: ˋ"Joshua’s sixth-round knockout of Paul was every bit as pointless and predictable as most of us believed it would be going in."

Worsell is highlighting boxing’s refusal to follow scripts. The sport consistently punishes overconfidence and reminds everyone that no outcome is guaranteed, no matter how wide the odds seem. Upsets and sudden knockouts exist to prove that preparation and execution matter more than reputation. Even in so-called mismatches, a fighter still has to find the right moment and avoid mistakes. For champions like Joshua, experience doesn’t remove risk; it simply raises expectations. Boxing demands focus, humility, and adaptability every time, which is why certainty is dangerous and why the sport continues to surprise both fans and fighters alike.
