The 58-year-old icon struggled to connect punches against his much younger opponent, let alone land anything meaningful.

Despite the victory, Jake surprised fans with his post-fight thoughts. Instead of regretting the lack of a knockout, he revealed another frustration. “I wanted to put on a show for the fans. I didn’t want to hurt anyone who didn’t need to be hurt,” he told reporters.

Many thought his biggest regret was playing it safe, but Jake had other ideas. Appearing on his brother Logan Paul’s imPaulsive podcast, Jake opened up: “I wish he fought better so I could stand up more and do more.” He was surviving, so that was the only thing I didn’t like.
