Pros react after Jake Paul stops Mike Perry: “Juiced out of his head”

The highly anticipated cruiserweight bout between Jake Paul and Mike Perry took place this evening in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Paul (10-1) and Perry (0-2) squared off in a 200lbs contest slated for eight 3-minute rounds.

Jake Paul entered the bout sporting a three-fight winning streak, his most previous being a first-round TKO victory over Ryan Bourland this past March (see that here). ‘The Problem Child’ had suffered his lone career pro boxing defeat in February of 2023, when he dropped a split decision to Tommy Fury.

Meanwhile, Mike Perry (5-0 BKFC, 0-1 Boxing) was returning to combat sports action for the first time since earning a first-round TKO victory over Thiago Alves back in April of this year under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship banner. ‘Platinum’ was making his second professional boxing appearance this evening, that after his first effort resulted in knockout loss to Kenneth McNeil in March of 2015.

Tonight’s ‘Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry’ bout resulted in a one-sided affair. Paul was able to knockdown Perry in both rounds one and two, the second of which appeared to hurt ‘Platinum’ badly. Although Perry arguably won round three, Paul stormed back in round four in another dominant three-minute showing. Then, in round six, ‘The Problem Child’ knocked down ‘Platinum’ for a third time and the bout was quickly waved off (see that here).

Official Result: Jake Paul def. Mike Perry via TKO in Round 6

Post-fight reactions to Jake Paul defeating Mike Perry:

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.

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 future

— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) July 21, 2024

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…
