Jake Paul vs. Ryan Bourland fight results, highlights: 'The Problem Child' destroys foe for quick TKO

Paul continued his professional boxing journey by battering another 'pro fighter' on Saturday night

For the second consecutive outing, Jake Paul made light work of a "professional boxer." On Saturday night in Puerto Rico, Paul picked Ryan Bourland apart for a first-round TKO.

Paul was light on his feet in the opening moments of the fight, firing off jabs that split Bourland's guard. The jabs opened up shots to Bourland's ribs as Bourland tried to chase down Paul to get his own offense rolling.

Before Bourland had a chance to get anything going, Paul moved back to the head and landed right hands and left hooks, sending Bourland reeling.

Paul kept his foot on the gas until Bourland began to wilt in the corner, resulting in the referee calling a halt to the bout at the 2:37 mark of Round 1.

"I wanted it to be a little bit longer to give the fans some more time but I'm just so happy to be here in Puerto Rico," Paul said after the fight. "You all showed that love. I love it here. If you're not first, you're last. A little bit of shake and bake. Dodge his punches and put his sorry ass on the floor."

After the fight, Paul made a call for the biggest star in the sport to step up and face him.

"Hey, Canelo. Stop ducking," Paul said. "I know you want it. I'm repping Puerto Rico. You're repping Mexico. So it's Puerto Rico vs. Mexico."

Paul vs. Bourland was the chief support bout for Amanda Serrano's defense of her unified featherweight championship against Nina Meinke. Just prior to the Paul fight, online reports began to circulate saying Serrano would not be fighting due to an eye injury.

The injury was confirmed following Paul's bout, with both Serrano and Paul, who is Serrano's promoter, speaking to the crowd after those in attendance were told they would receive full refunds for their tickets.

"I came ready to fight 100 percent," Serrano said. "I came to show my fans and put on a great show. I can't because I had something wrong with my eye. I had my hair done as you can see. The doctor wouldn't clear me. I wanted to fight. I wanted to fight in front of my people."

Paul backed his fighter with his own comments.

"Amanda put in a hard camp but the doctor wouldn't let her fight," Paul said. "Her cornea was exposed. ... This happened super, super last minute. We did everything we could but her cornea is exposed and you can't risk losing your sight just for one fight."

Jake Paul vs. Ryan Bourland -- Round 1: Paul opened the fight pawing with a few jabs before a left hook missed. Paul did land a hook moments later before popping more jabs. Bourland tried to bull his way in before eating a few shots to the body. Paul continued to mix in those body shots while moving and forcing Bourland to chase. Paul's jab continued to do good work along with getting in some body shots. A right from Paul wobbled Bourland and more follow-up shots had Bourland reeling. Bourland wasn't firing back as Paul continued to land hard shots. Paul connected with an uppercut and more right hands as Bourland was stuck in the corner covering up. Finally, as Bourland began to slump down, the referee jumped in for the stoppage. Light work for Paul. Official result: Jake Paul def. Ryan Bourland via TKO, Round 1
