Influencer paddling

 So, Jake Paul at last found out where the other half lives, and -- surprise, surprise -- it was at the intersection of Right Fist Boulevard and Glass Jaw Way. 

In other words, former world champion Anthony Joshua hit the Jakester with his right fist once, and then again, and then a bunch of other times last night, and finally ol' Jake babied up to the canvas. In the sixth round, Joshua hit the social media influencer (as Paul is sometimes described) one last time, and Paul folded like a Vegas sharpie holding a handful of nothing.

KO in the sixth. Broken jaw in two places for Paul. And the only reason it happened in the sixth round and not, say, the second or third, is because Paul spent the first three or four rounds running like Usain Bolt.

This is what happens to social media influencers when they fight someone who isn't a tomato can or 58 years old like Mike Tyson. It becomes not influence peddling but an influence paddling, if you'll excuse the pun.

Look. Anyone who knew the difference between a left hook and coat hook knew Paul was as phony as most stuff you see on the internet, so last night was entirely predictable. Mr. Social Media Influencer climbed into the ring with a legit fighter, and found out there's an ocean of difference between a legit fighter and one who just plays one on TV.

Or, you know, Instagram or TikToc or whatever.

Time to find another online schtick, Jake. I suggest pilates.
