If you thought 23-year-old YouTube star Jake Paul was insufferable before, "The Problem Child" will likely be taking it to another level for you after he scored a highlight-reel knockout Saturday.

Paul was competing in a cruiserweight match against the former NBA player Nate Robinson in the co-main event of the highly-anticipated Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. exhibition at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Having already punched Robinson through the ropes, Paul mercilessly ended the fight in the second round with a blistering attack when the former three-time slam dunk champion was back on his feet.

With Robinson rushing in from the corner, Paul caught him off-guard with a one-two punch combination.

He landed a flush left hook to the jaw and then sent a heavy right hand over the top, which crashed on the top of the athlete's head, sending him helplessly to the floor.

There was no need for the referee to count. With Robinson face-down and motionless on the canvas, the fight was over.

"I've got a longlist of opponents that I want," Jake Paul said on the Triller broadcast after his win.

"Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, I'm going to knock them both out."

According to Compubox data sent to Insider, Robinson had been out-throwing and out-landing Paul up until that point.

By the time of the finish, Robinson had landed 10 of his 56 shots for a 17.9% strike accuracy.
