Veteran UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently spoke out about the one thing Jake Paul needs to work on to do better inside the squared circle.
Rogan also suggested that Paul should not take fights against heavyweights like Anthony Joshua because the damage he will sustain in such fights will have a negative effect on his physical and emotional well-being in the long term.
Last weekend, ‘The Problem Child’ and ‘AJ’ competed in a heavyweight boxing match that was streamed live on Netflix. Paul used all the tricks in his book to stop and survived six rounds against the Brit. In the first few rounds he refused to participate and danced around the ring, trying to find the perfect time and distance to land.
The 28-year-old even stunned Joshua with a big right hand.

However, Paul was gassed in round 5 and was dropped twice. By round 6 he was in survival mode and by the fourth and final knockdown ‘AJ’ sealed the victory by TKO.
Joe Rogan wants Jake Paul to improve his cardio and consult plyometric experts
Rogan praised Jake Paul’s performance, but stated that he needs to improve his cardio. According to the UFC commentator, Paul performs exceptionally well in boxing for fewer rounds, but struggles in eight three-minute rounds as he tires during the championship rounds. Rogan suggested:
“He gets tired in a lot of his fights in the later rounds. He really needs to figure that out because if he had a much bigger gas tank, like if he trained with some of these world-class elite strength and conditioning coaches and just worked on his cardio, he’d be beating a lot more guys… He’s boxing; he’s certainly training hard, but to get that world-class gas tank, you need someone like Sam Calavitta, you need someone like Nick Curson, and you have these plyometric experts necessary.”
He added:
Because in so many of his fights, like the Nate Diaz fight, he tires in the later rounds. That guy, if he only fights three rounds, he’s a damn handful. He’s really good. He clocked Anthony Joshua. He hit him with a big right hand.”
