Jake Paul dominates Nate Robinson with vicious KO in an undercard match at Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr

Jake Paul has been known to push all the wrong buttons, putting him in the middle of some ridiculous controversy.

But the Vine alum recently found just the right button, going toe-to-toe with former NBA star Nate Robinson.

He dominated Robinson in the ring on Saturday, winning their second round undercard match with a vicious knockout, on Mike Tyson’s much-anticipated return to boxing, against Roy Jones Jr.

Although Robinson started hot, Paul remained in control, landing eight punches throughout the match and knocking out his opponent once in the first round and twice in the second.

Robinson needed a little help getting up after the third and final knockdown, but he came anyway.

Paul later praised Robinson in an interview with Jake Gray: ‘He was better than I expected … I wanted to thank Nate. It takes a lot of balls to get into the ring and I don’t want to take anything from that. ‘

Paul is still facing backlash for calling COVID-19 a “ hoax ” in his recent interview with The everyday beast, from which he has since returned.

It’s a pretty privileged position for someone who gained notoriety over the summer for his super spread parties at his $ 6.9 million Calabasas mansion.

He then told it The edge: ‘So this man, this reporter, misquoted me. He took what I said out of context, and I told him that. I’ve been telling him that all along. ‘

But Daily Beast reporter Marlow Stern returned with receipts Twitter with a recording of the interview, which he later posted a second time, claiming that Paul’s team had removed the original SoundCloud link.
