In a recent interview, rapper Maino dismissed the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua bout as "comedy," questioning the competitiveness and intensity of the fight. Despite Joshua being heavily favored with odds at -1040, Paul’s unexpected performance sparked debate. Maino noted that the fight lacked significant punch exchanges and seemed dull, contrasting with the brutal reality of boxing where Paul reportedly suffered a broken jaw and lost teeth. Both he and interviewer Vlad agreed the fight was genuine, not fixed like some speculate about other celebrity bouts, but lacked the excitement expected from such high-profile names.
Originally, Jake Paul was set to face lightweight champion Javonte Davis, a mismatch in weight that baffled insiders before Davis was pulled due to personal issues. Maino emphasized the absurdity of lightweights fighting heavyweights and suggested that although Jake Paul has improved, his fights remain more entertaining than technically impressive. The conversation also touched on the broader boxing scene, including talks about Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford’s retirement.
