Jake Paul vs Gib result: AnEsonGib stopped in first round to set up KSI fight

Paul and KSI came face to face in the ring after

Jake Paul dropped AnEsonGib twice in the first round to secure a first round stoppage and set up a future bout with KSI.

Gib forced his way into getting the fight months ago when an online campaign from his followers saw him beat out competition in a poll alongside the likes of Soulja Boy and Dillon Danis to secure his dream fight.

It wasn’t a dream night in the end for the Londoner, who Paul made light work of in their first professional contests.

Gib fought from a squared-on, low stance with bad footing and and put on a clear show of the difference between pantomime and professional as Paul’s size and power helped him to dominate, landing his jab at will and never really needing to unload any big shots to cause damage.

Paul secured an early flash knockdown with a right to the top of Gib’s forehead before another knockdown shortly after.

With the three knockdown rule in effect, referee Chris Paul stepped in as Gib continued and struggled to take Paul’s onslaught, waving the fight off.

“I dedicated the past five months to this,” said Paul immediately after.

“It was all just natrual instinct in there, I was too strong and too fast.

“KSI is next!”

It will indeed be KSI next, who was sat ringside watching on in disbelief before coming into the ring post-fight, with the younger of the Paul brothers looking to avenge his brother’s November defeat.

For Gib, it's back to YouTube and opening Fifa packs.
