Jake Paul's win over Anderson Silva took many by surprise, and one among those was Joe Rogan's friend and American comedian, Bert Kreischer.

During episode #1892 of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 50-year-old stated that 'The Problem Child' was a prolific athlete and a great fighter, but people were wrongly judging him:

"He is a great fighter... Like you can deny that the dude is f*****g athletic as f**k. But people size you up by based on what they you as the first time. So they see you as a Disney guy and then they go, you'll never be a fighter."

Joe Rogan also chimed in with Kreischer, saying that the YouTuber-turned-boxer is a legitimate athlete who is improving with each fight.

In their October 29 fight at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, the 25-year-old clinched a convincing unanimous decision win against Anderson Silva. Paul also scored a knockdown against the former UFC middleweight champion in the final round of the fight.

With the win over 'The Spider', the social media celebrity has extended his undefeated streak in boxing to six fights. Paul also holds knockout wins against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and former multi-promotional champion Ben Askren.

Joe Rogan dismisses rumors of Jake Paul's knockdown of Anderson Silva being fake

During the same JRE episode, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan detailed why 'The Problem Child's knockdown of Anderson Silva in the closing round of their boxing match "was legit as f**k."

The 55-year-old added that it was a stepping jab from the 25-year-old that rocked the former UFC champion and not the right hand that barely connected:

"Some people are trying to say that the fight was fixed because of the knockdown... I just want to explain to people this is what happened, Anderson moved forward to Jake Paul and Jake Paul hit with a sort of a stepping jab and caught him right on the chin...But it looks like the right-hand doesn't connect, it doesn't connect but the left hand is what f****d him up."

The win against the former UFC champion is being touted as the biggest victory of the celebrity boxing star's career. During the post-fight interview, the 25-year-old called out Nate Diaz and the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
