The trash-talking youtuber dominated Robinson in the ring Saturday, winning their match in the second round with a powerful knockout. The undercard match preceded Mike Tyson's highly-anticipated return to boxing, against Roy Jones Jr.
The 36 year-old ex-basketballer and pro-boxer was knocked out cold by Paul, 23, with a right cross that left Robinson face-down on the mat. The ex-basketballer started hot but couldn't withstand Paul's jabs.
The controversial youtuber remained in control, landing eight punches throughout the match, knocking Robinson down once in the first round and twice in the second. The ex-basketballer needed some assistance getting up after the third and final knockdown, but he eventually came to.
The match comes after Paul trash-talked at Robinson during the weigh-in. "Nate's kids, if you're watching, please don’t watch the fight," he said. "I don’t want to… I don't want to embarrass your dad in front of you. Please, Nate's kids, don't watch the fight. It's going to be bad; it's going to be bloody."
But after Saturday's fight, the YouTube influencer praised Robinson in an interview with Jake Gray: "He was better than I expected... I wanted to say thank you to Nate. It takes a lot of balls to step in the ring and I don't want to take anything away from that."
Paul previously beat fellow influencer AnEsonGib in the first round, in a January fight. He has also challenged two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor. "I mean what fighter with this big of a platform is calling out Mcgregor?" he tweeted. "ITS GONNA HAPPEN. YOU WILL ALL SEE."
