American YouTuber Jake Paul landed a knocked down to the right and knocked out Former NBA player Nate Robinson in the second round of a professional boxing match at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Paul hit Robinson once in the first round and again in the second. Robinson stood up both times, but Paul’s third knockdown ended the fight.

Robinson landed 10 of his 56 punches, and Paul connected on 8 of his 38. However, Paul’s punches have a lot more power, and that ultimately determined the outcome.

The two fighters also tied up on several occasions in the ring, to the point that the referee regularly had to separate the two before resuming the fight. Paul’s reach turned out to be a big difference, however, on his way to victory.

After the game, Paul said he wanted to fight for a living and listed a long list of fighters he wanted to face, including UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor. Paul said he would knock out McGregor, among others.

The bout, which was scheduled for six rounds, was on a six-fight card featured by an exhibit between former world champions Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.

The Robinson vs. Paul fight began to come together in May, when Robinson spoke with TMZ Sports and challenged Paul, an aspiring pro fighter, to a fight.

“I want all the smoke,” Robinson said. “I’m a top athlete! I put it all on the line for (Jake). Let’s go. It’s that simple.”

The deal is done Two months later.

The two spoke of trash in the months leading up to the fight, with Paul notably told TMZ Sports that he would eliminate Robinson “100%” in the first round.

“First round. First round. 100 percent, easy,” Paul said.

“Literally … if you’re home and you’re human, bet your home on the first round knockout.”

Robinson thought otherwise.

“Yeah, I haven’t fought anybody,” Robinson told Paul, by Jake Donovan of Boxing Scene. “But I’m fighting you and I’m going to beat your ass.”

Robinson trained hard for this fight, like Ryan Songalia from Ring TV noted.

“He’s trained by former pro Ron Johnson, and says he’s in the gym with WBC super middleweight defending champion David Benavidez and his dad,” Songalia wrote.

“Floyd Mayweather Jr. reportedly called Robinson and offered to open his gym in Las Vegas to train with him, and Terence Crawford reportedly made a similar offer.”

Robinson also lined up some soft boxing shoes for this match:

Robinson played in the NBA from 2005 to 2016 and had never boxed before. Paul has a professional fight to his name, a WHO WINS on Ali Eson Gib in January.

As Songalia noted, the fight was fought with 10 ounce gloves and no helmets. Robinson weighed 181 pounds for the fight and Paul was 189.
