Welcome to Midnight Mania!
No person appears that impressed by Jake Paul’s latest knockout win (watch highlights).
At first look, it must be a strong second for “The Downside Little one.” He flew in a foreign country, took on a boxer with a greater report than his personal, and gained within three minutes. That must be a fantastic night time! Nevertheless, the facade begins to disintegrate when Paul’s opponent Ryan Bourland is examined intently: he’s a 35-year-old oil rigger who retired from skilled boxing a couple of years in the past.
The bout wasn’t remotely aggressive, much like Paul’s bout a couple of months in the past reverse Andre August (highlights). Paul is successfully padding his report, a time-honored custom in boxing. Nevertheless, not everybody appreciates his latest techniques, and the gang critiquing his alternative in opponent contains former UFC champion Michael Bisping, who launched a rant on his podcast.
Based on “The Rely,” Paul is scamming struggle followers and making a mockery of boxing by bullying opponents with no probability at victory.

“He’s disrespecting boxing, he’s conning the followers. Beating individuals you understand you’ll be able to beat, that’s known as a bully.”

“Jake Paul was at all times destined to win this struggle and also you all are the suckers should you paid for this struggle.” Bisping mentioned (through MMA Information). “Now I do know most individuals didn’t. Sadly, his opponent was utter canine—t and couldn’t make it by one spherical. ‘How was he in a position to get it executed?’ Oh, he’s simply so good. He anticipated a second spherical however my god the man did it spherical one!
“[Canelo] doesn’t need circus sideshow freakshow fights. He’s disrespecting the game of boxing. He’s disrespecting all of the individuals who labored their method up. However extra importantly, he’s conning the followers. If Ryan Bourland is your subsequent Uber driver, give him 5 stars and an excellent tip. Beating individuals you understand you’ll be able to beat, that’s known as being a bully.”
At one level in 2020, Bisping was in consideration as a attainable Paul opponent. The bout by no means materialized, however since then, the retired Englishman has been extremely vital of Paul on a number of events. He’s not alone in his opinions, after all, however there’s clearly no love misplaced between the 2.
Earlier on Monday, Paul seemingly introduced his subsequent boxing date as Friday, April 26, 2023. Based mostly on that timeline and the way rapidly the date has been introduced, I wouldn’t anticipate a major step up in competitors from the latest opponents.
Gotta earn again that $1.5 million in some way.
