A legend of the Octagon missed the mark by some distance with his pre-fight predictions.
Although the duration of the fight surprised many, Anthony Joshua stopping Jake Paul on Friday night wasn’t an unpredictable outcome.
The former two-time heavyweight champion took some time to get going before putting away ‘The Problem Child’ in the sixth round.
One fighter’s bold prediction was proved wrong after he claimed that Paul could knock out Joshua.
In his live reaction to the bout, he was happy to eat his own words following a very different result.

Demetrious Johnson analyzed where he went wrong with his Jake Paul knockout prediction
The referee was praised for his message to Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua after he told both fighters to increase their output following an uneventful start to the bout.
While it didn’t make for entertaining viewing, ‘The Problem Child’ was finding some form of success during these awkward rounds.
Paul was even able to land some of the overhand shots that Demetrious Johnson believed could’ve resulted in one of the biggest upsets of all time.
During his live reaction to the fight, the UFC legend admitted, “Oh my god. I don’t know s— about boxing,” after watching the fight get waved off.
