Former cricketer Kevin Pietersen has shared his thoughts on the Anthony Joshua vs. heavyweight boxing match. Jake Paul, which took place last weekend at the Kaseya Center in Miami and was also streamed live on Netflix.
‘The Problem Child’ did much better than what many expected as he lasted six rounds in the ring with ‘AJ’, a two-time former unified heavyweight title holder.
The YouTuber turned boxer pulled out every trick in his book to slow down and frustrate Anthony Joshua. However, in round 5, the Brit knocked Paul down twice, but the latter managed to beat the counter.
In round 6, a gassed Paul was in survival mode and was knocked down for the third time. This time, once he defeated the Count and got back on his feet, ‘AJ’ went for the kill. He knocked Paul down for the fourth and final time, which was enough to secure the TKO victory.
Jake Paul has received rave reviews from many despite his defeat. The 28-year-old picked his moments to land, got back up every time he was down, and wasn’t knocked unconscious.
But Kevin Pietersen has a different view on the fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul.
