During an episode of The MMA Hour, Jake addressed the criticisms, stating, “There are always people in my career trying to discredit it. It went from ‘Jake’s going to get knocked out by Anderson’ to ‘That was rigged!'”

Jake finds it disheartening to witness this kind of negativity online, as it makes him lose faith in his generation, his peers, and society as a whole. He firmly believes that his hard work should not be diminished.

“It sucks because I worked so hard for this,” Paul expressed. “I dedicate everything. I sacrifice everything every single day. I have a 15-person team working around the clock to help me become the best boxer possible. And when I do something like beating Anderson Silva, they try to take it away from me.”

On a positive note, the criticism from haters and doubters has taught Jake a valuable lesson. He now realizes that the only opinion about his boxing career that truly matters is his own.

“I know deep down how hard I’ve worked to make this possible, and I guess that’s all that really matters,” he concluded.
