In a terrible first-round performance, Jake Paul easily defeated Andre August, which he hopes will at least partially disprove the cynics.
Jake Paul faced a professional boxer for the second time in his career in his first bout since losing to Tommy Fury earlier this year, though August, a 35-year-old journeyman with a 10-1 record, wasn’t a very formidable foe.
Paul was obviously the more active fighter in the first round of their fight on Saturday (AEDT) in Orlando, Florida, as he looked better and often landed body blows on August.
August delivered an overhand right shot to Paul’s head, but Paul countered with a powerful right uppercut that sent August sprawling to the ground.
The referee prematurely ended the eight-round cruiserweight contest because the strike had knocked him out.
Paul waved to August, who was still on the canvas, with a cry of chilly ecstasy.
An analyst on DAZN remarked, “The problem child strikes again! For Jake Paul, it only takes one hit.
Ariel Helwani, a mixed martial arts and boxing expert, remarked, “Andre looked terrified when I walked into his locker room.” That man was done; he was a walking corpse. Jake tried, but was unsuccessful in the first round.
“The uppercut was effective. Rolling his eyeballs back inside his head, he said. Turn out the lights.
After his incredible win over Dillon Danis in October, Logan Paul leaped into the ring to celebrate with his brother.

However, Jake Paul could have silenced some of his detractors with a single uppercut. The next time he enters the ring, his anticipation will be that he will face a much better opponent.
After putting on his best show since taking on UFC icon Nate Diaz, Paul’s professional boxing record is currently 8-1 with 5KOs.
Following his victory via knockout, Paul remarked, “I said first round knockout all week.”
“I was the one who initiated this. I had to bring back the former problem child, I said. I’ve been too kind to these people, allowing them to advance to the next stage. He murmured, “Night night,” so I readied my shot.
Paul gestured toward the camera as if to order his detractors to “silencing them.”
I welcome any feedback regarding myself from anyone. “Oh, he’s not capable of doing this.” He can’t seem to close a deal. He’s not that large. For what reason is he fighting those two guys? Just shut up, please.
“What I accomplished this evening is a mystery to me. I will remain true to myself. To become a world champion, each of these things is necessary.
These folks can’t hang with me, really. He was gone in less than two minutes, and this is how he always behaves. And then what? It will continue to grow.
