Jake vs Joshua was a lucrative boxing event and Netflix attracted 33 million viewers worldwide. When the match was booked, boxing experts and fans knew it would be a significant mismatch. Still, Jake managed to make it to the sixth round before being knocked out by a vicious right hand from the former heavyweight champion.
In a recent edition of the Podcast ‘Impaulsive’Logan shared his belief that Jake’s conditioning led to his failure to reach the final bell (h/t MMAfighting).
“I felt like if Jake’s cardio was better, he would have had a real chance to at least make the scorecards,” Paul said.
“And everyone was wondering what Jake’s strategy was… As he was walking around outside, everyone was like, ‘Oh, he was running all the time!’ No, that’s boxing. That’s what Floyd Mayweather built his career on. Especially when you’re facing a bigger man who controls the center of the ring, the only way to win well is to stay on your horse, turn, change direction, make him miss. That’s the name of the game. That is elusiveness. That’s avoidance. Fine.”
Jake will be out of action for a while after suffering a broken jaw. He recently underwent successful surgery and even appeared on a podcast with Logan. Jake admitted that he agreed with his brother that his cardio was keeping him from potentially going the distance with Joshua.
What Jake will do once he fully recovers remains to be seen. He has expressed interest in a boxing match with Francis Ngannou, who had been offered to replace Gervonta “Tank” Davis but turned it down. This had led to a war of words between Ngannou and Jake.
