That didn't happen 2-3 times, but 2-3 times per round until Paul had gassed himself and Joshua could actually start fighting. Even the ringside team was complaining about Paul's bullshit. The punch that broke his jaw put him on the canvass and he was awake and alert but wanted no part of standing up.
The fight stats were basically: Paul falling down 25 times, 4 knockdowns, a jaw broken in 2 places, and regret for everyone watching.
Paul needs to go back to boxing 60 year olds and MMA fighters because he showed he has no business in the ring with an actual championship level boxer.

Interesting take. I watched the fight and my thought was this dude is going to somehow get an exemption to fight at 120lbs and become their champion.
To be fair after he ran the entire first round he did land some good shots but they did absolutely nothing and he realized he was completely fucked and started shooting takedowns. He looked terrified in the corner before Joshua broke his jaw. If he wasn’t such a douche I would have almost felt sorry for him at that point.
