Joe Rogan praises Jake Paul despite Tommy Fury loss: \u201cHe\u2019s 100% legit\u201d YouTube: Joe Rogan\/BT SportJoe Rogan has tipped his cap to Jake Paul despite losing to Tommy Fury, praising the YouTuber-turned-boxer as \u201clegit\u201d and saying it proved him right after all this time. After years of waiting, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settled their score inside the boxing ring on February 26, as they squared off in a fight billed as \u2018The Truth\u2019 in Saudi Arabia. In the end, Tommy\u2019s boxing background showed out, as the Brit defeated Jake by a split decision. Though, Jake did score the only knockdown of the fight and wants a rematch due to complications he apparently suffered in his pre-fight training camp. Despite the loss, the YouTuber-turned-boxer\u2019s performance has been praised by a few analysts, including Joe Rogan who believes that, despite the loss, his longstanding stance on Jake has been proven. Joe Rogan backs Jake Paul\u2019s boxing ability despite Tommy Fury defeat The fight came up as a quick topic during episode 1947 of the Joe Rogan Experience, as he chatted with comedian Chris Distefano. Rogan was asked if he watched the fight, to which he answered yes, and quickly backed Jake. \u201cI thought it was a very good fight. It confirmed two things that I\u2019ve been saying for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cOne, Jake Paul is 100% legit. People that think he\u2019s not legit, he\u2019s conning you. He\u2019s conning you with his antics, he\u2019s conning you with his online persona and the sh*t-talking and the marketing. \u201cBut if you didn\u2019t have any of that, and me as an analyst, that\u2019s one of my jobs. I\u2019m not a boxing analyst but I understand it. When I watch him move around, it\u2019s 100% legit.\u201d Rogan got sidetracked before he could take a victory lap on his second point, but it is another example of him showing backing to Jake when others don\u2019t. He still doubts that the content creator should fight Mike Tyson, but that\u2019s probably off the table now he\u2019s lost to Tommy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
