When Joe Rogan praised Jake Paul and called his KO of Tyron Woodley "legit"
Jake Paul started as a social media influencer and eventually became a professional boxer. He has victories over notable fighters like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Mike Perry, and Mike Tyson.
A section of combat sports fans and experts accuses Paul of fighting old washed-out opponents. However, another section believes in his ability to knock out legitimate fighters inside the squared circle.
In an old episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC commentator praised Paul for his hustle while terming his KO victory over the former UFC superstar Tyron Woodley "legit."
"You know the conversation he had with Eddie Hearn where he says, 'I'll knock out any one of your guys that's under 10 fights.' He goes, 'whoever you have bring me any guy that you have that has under 10 fights.' You can see Eddie Hearn like 'sh*t.' He's kinda stuck there."
He continued:
"Because those guys under 10 fights, what if Jake Paul knocks one of them out? What if you get a guy that hasn't been tested and maybe has some promise and maybe gets wrapped up in the hype and maybe gets a little nervous and it's his first chance at a big big big show and Jake Paul can crack. A hundred percent, that knockout of Tyron Woodley is legit as f*ck. He can crack."
