Easy 10-8 for Paul in Round 1. Scored a quick knockdown, and just lit Perry up when he chose to throw. #PaulPerry

Jake looked like he didn’t expect this to go 8 rounds, looks tired. Mike needs to keep up the pressure and maul him inside.

Perry wins R3, but still has a lot of ground to make up

Something is wrong with Perry leg he is limping during the fight and back to the corner

Jake Paul stops Mike Perry in Round 6.
Perry was hurt, then knocked down in a flurry. Upon the referee’s eight-count, he stumbled – and that was it. #PaulPerry

I know there’s a size difference in a lot of Paul fights, but the man is constantly improving in each fight. Credit to him for that part. I would like to see him fight more guys his size like he did with the Fury fight. He could do something in this sport for sure.

Jake Paul is the biggest pissbag I have ever seen in my life. 40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still shitting himself in there. Nakisa you should take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real…

Chris Curtis
I am super glad Mike Perry made a bag tonight. But as I have said, many times in the past, Mike Perry cannot box and Jake Paul is a clown for picking these opponents. Can we please just let him fade away now?

How long are we going to pretend that Jake Paul is beating people his size or his age? The one person he fought his size and age, he lost too.

Jason Miller
Well Jake Paul just bullied another smaller guy in lieu of fighting a senior citizen, so God Bless America I guess.

If Jake Paul can knock me out, every single person who likes this will get $50,000. I’ll put it in my contract.
