UFC star Sean O’Malley has praised Jake Paul in the wake of his loss to Anthony Joshua.
Last night Jake Paul put on a defensive match as he entered the boxing ring to duke it out with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. While AJ certainly looked a little rusty, he eventually managed to find his rhythm. When he did, he was able to lock Paul in with a monstrous shot that broke ‘The Problem Child’s jaw in two places.
Sean O’Malley is someone who has had some interesting thoughts on Jake Paul in the past, many of which were complementary. Paul always knew he was at risk of being seriously injured here, which was one of the biggest concerns for many people entering this battle. Ultimately, he had to undergo surgery on his jaw, but we can imagine that he still has a few big fights ahead of him in the boxing world.
In his reaction videoSean O’Malley made the following comments about Jake Paul and the heart he was able to show, especially down the stretch.
Sean O’Malley praises Jake Paul
“There’s a lot to be proud of if you’re Jake Paul.”
“He was supposed to fight Gervonta Davis tonight, which would have been fucking crazy, I would have loved to see that.
“I don’t think it really lowers Jake’s stock in the boxing world. He’s taken some big hits.”
“Dude, Jake’s got a fucking chin on him. That was the right hand that knocked Francis out.
“Bro, as a fighter/entertainer, I feel like it was inspiring to see Jake do what he did. To sell out Kaseya Center, which I did against Chito, and fight Anthony Joshua live on Netflix, make so much damn money doing that. Inspirational.”
Paul will continue to receive criticism no matter what he does next in boxing, but there are a lot of fighters, both in boxing and mixed martial arts, who have a lot of respect for him right now, and they may have a point.
