Black Twitter Erupts After Nate Robinson's Knockout Loss To Jake Paul
By: Omar Cook
In what was just supposed to be the undercard of the heavily anticipated fight between legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., turned put to be one of the most talked about sporting moments of 2020. Former NBA star Nate Robinson faced off against youtube star Jake Paul in what was his professional boxing debut. It was very clear from the jump that Nate Robinson did not belong in the boxing ring.
Jake Paul dominated the entire match knocking down Nate Robinson multiple times and eventually knocking him out in the second round! "You don't play boxing," boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard said. This was an embarrassing display to say the least and it showed just how difficult it is to be dominant in multiple sports.
With all of the racial tension that has been building this year, Black twitter was definitely pulling for Nate Robinson as this would have been a major victory for the culture! After Deontay Wilder took an L to Tyson Fury in the heavyweight title match back in February, we’ve been waiting for something to brag about, but this was a letdown to say the least. And of course, Black twitter would not let this moment die down without getting their jokes off first!
I’m pretty sure that what Jake Paul did to Nate last night was racism.

Yes, it’s been rough for our guy Nate Robinson but there are people out there who have some compassion. Interesting enough, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather chimed in and came to his defense!
Again, this was just the WARM UP to the main fight. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. squared off for a battle of the ages, literally, as both boxers stepped into the ring surpassing 50 years old! This was amazing to see as they went head to toe for the entire 8 rounds with no knockdowns and the fight ended in a draw, despite Tyson clearly dominating the match but Tyson was still happy with the results. "This is bigger than fighting and winning the championship," Tyson said after the fight. "We're humanitarians and we're helping people." Roy Jones seemed to be gassed during the match but held his own and Tyson still looked extremely powerful with his punches! Salute to the legends for putting on a show!
Hopefully Nate Robinson can bounce back and redeem himself because social media is a wild place and these memes show no mercy to anyone! As for the Black twitter community, we will just have to wait once again to get some redemption!
