‘Heavyweight vs. welterweight’: Pros react to Jake Paul knocking out Mike Perry, calling out Alex Pereira
Jake Paul did it again.
The influencer-turned-boxer continued his crusade against MMA veterans with a sixth-round knockout of Mike Perry on Saturday at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. Perry remains inhumanly tough and continued to march forward despite eating a ton of punishment, but ultimately Paul’s size, speed, and ringcraft was too much for BKFC’s King of Violence to overcome. Afterward, Paul called out Mike Tyson — who he’s expected to fight on November 15 in Dallas — and UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
Check out how the combat sports world reacted to Paul’s win and callouts below.

I promise on everything I love I would beat Jake Paul in a boxing match! Respect to Mike Perry, but he wouldn’t stand a chance with me!

Something is wrong with Perry leg he is limping during the fight and back to the corner

There’s no way they still do Tyson v Paul !

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.

Well Jake Paul just bullied another smaller guy in lieu of fighting a senior citizen, so God Bless America I guess.

We can't let this keep happening lmao.
Paul's Jab was super on point tonight.
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 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…
