Jake Paul earns second-straight first-round victory, calls out Canelo Alvarez: 'I'm the face of this sport'

Jake Paul predicted a second-round knockout on Saturday night - he was too generous.

The YouTuber turned boxer earned a first-round victory over Ryan Bourland on Saturday night in Puerto Rico (he was accurate in his sub-six-minute victory).

Paul clearly wanted to get things over with early, striking early and connected on a hard shot to the ribs - Bourland's left side was clearly red after the blow.

But shortly after, Paul took it a step further, piecing up Bourland in the face and making the former Golden Gloves champion dazed.

Bourland couldn't even return with any jabs, going in straight self-defense mode. But it wasn't enough.

Trapping him in the corner, Paul threw a bunch of haymakers, and the referee called it a night. The fight lasted just two minutes and 37 seconds.

"I wanted it to be a little longer to give the fans some more time," he admitted post-fight.

Paul also told Fox News Digital earlier this week he was "pissed" that his previous fight also lasted less than one round.

Paul called himself "the face of this sport," rhetorically asking, "who's doing more for boxing than me?"

He probably would admit, though, he isn't the best yet - but he did call out someone in that category.

"Hey Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it," he said, firing at current WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO champion Canelo Alvarez.

It was Paul's ninth victory in his 10th professional fight, each of the last two having come against fellow boxers after fights against MMA fighters like Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva. His lone loss is to Tommy Fury, the brother of Tyson.

Florida woman, 34, accused of violently robbing 73-year-old date in romantic scheme with ex-boyfriend: police

A Florida woman and her ex-boyfriend robbed a senior citizen under the guise of a romantic date, police said.

According to the press release from the Volusia County Sheriff's office, Chelsea Wright, 34, and Andrew Marks, 33, were involved in a violent robbery scheme of a 73-year-old man whose injuries required treatment at an area hospital.

Police said that the elderly victim arrived at a local hospital around 5 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 29 and shared a sordid incident regarding his interaction with Wright and Marks.

The 73-year-old told hospital staff that he was meeting Wright at a Daytona Beach bar for a romantic date to discuss the couple's relationship, police said.

Police said that Wright suggested that the victim come back to her house and he agreed.

The 73-year-old followed Wright to her Plantation Pines home in Ormond Beach, Florida and along the way, police said, she picked up Marks before dropping him off near a home. 

When the man got out of his car at Wright's alleged home, Marks suddenly reappeared and allegedly hit the man in the head with a metal object.

Police said that he kept hitting him until he fell to the ground. 

Marks then stole the man's wallet and fled the scene alongside of Wright.

At the hospital, the victim was treated for numerous injuries to his head, torso, and arms, with significant lacerations to his head requiring staples, and his eye swollen shut.

After the victim's date turned sour, police conducted surveillance on Wright before pulling her over for a traffic infraction and finding narcotics in her car. 

During an interview with detectives, she lied and said that the attacker was an elderly woman with Alzheimer's who she picked up on the side of the road. 

Detectives later discovered text messages between Marks and Wright, where they had planned the robbery together and had previously dated.

Marks was located and arrested early Friday in Holly Hill on charges of robbery with a weapon and aggravated battery on a victim over the age of 65. 

Wright was arrested as principal on the same charges, police said.
