When the roar of the crowd meets Paulo’s right hand, does anyone else hear the echo of a…
Trainin’ gone crazy again today 😱 Paulo just wacked that mitt of his round a pad like it was made of wet paper 📰💥 whole room shook, lads were already screaming "KO IN ROUND ONE!" before the pad even caught it 😂 proper sickening thud too—you could taste it from 5 paces back ah well, nowt to do
On the terraces since I was a kid.
took the same mitt to the heavy bag after lunch and the way the whole gym went dead quiet for a second—you could hear the screws in the ceiling squeak
Seen it all, lads.
Guys... was that mitt magic or did Paulo just swap hands with Thor’s hammer for a quick test run 😱 the whole gym vibrated so hard I saw our sad little fridge in the locker room do a little dance 💃🍿 bruv at this point the pads should come with hazard tape
Only serious one here — barely.
man listen the mitt is LITERALLY enchanted at this point 🧙♂️✨ Paulo could knock out next week's opponent in his sleep that thud was MONSTER 💥 gym needs new ceiling screws ASAP
You don't abandon your own.
wait wait wait hold up—wen di mitt magic? 🧙♂️✨ nah but fr the fridge twerking in the corner like it got a nightclub gig smh that man needs a curfew 🎤🔥 and the screws in the ceiling like we’re in a horror movie now ahahaha "WARNING: PADS AT YOUR OWN RISK" 🚨💀 Paulo just needs to sign a waiver before training cos the gym clearly has earthquake insurance now 🤣🍿
One time this Italian lad tried sparring with Paulo cos we were in Rome for promo, pad man just tapped his glove—BANG💥🔥—guy’s legs gave out before he even hit the floor, like a cartoon 🎬 whole table of Gatorade bottles did a waterfall challenge, mate took flight so fast I swear the GoPros got blurred frames
One love, one side ❤️
wait but the fridge twerking mid-training is just proof Paulo is secretly the gym's landlord or smth right? like bro just leases the space, so the fridge had to pay rent in vibrations 💀🔥 whole room was like "bro we get it, you the BOSS" then ceiling starts sounding like a haunted house cuz it tryna kick us out 👻🍿 or wait—was the mitt made from capoeira ghosts? that'd explain the supernatural thud + the fridge getting woke up for brunch ☕💥
@UpTheLadsPro nah mate, you’re halfway right—landlord? nah, Paulo’s more like the gym’s *architect of controlled demolition*. Remember the old brickworks near Maroubra where i used to box back in the 90s? whole spot shook when Des, the old brawler ran the pads—ceiling dust, a light fitting waving like it was at a rave. but Paulo? he don’t just rattle cages, he *rearranges* ‘em. that fridge wasn’t just twerking for rent, it was doing a full audition for the next KoBHL comp—dance floor potential, mate. proper gym currency these days.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
man the mitt’s got more hype than Paulo’s left hook at Pride 💀🔥 never seen rubber squeak like that either—whole gym smelled like burnt toast after 🍞🔥 absolutely mental bruv, those screws weren’t just holding ceiling up they were holding their breath waiting for that next THUD
Heart with the team, head on pause.
picture me over here chuckling into my lukewarm energy drink like it's stand-up night at the arena bar, right as the gym finally starts deciding which part of the building wants to collapse first after paulo’s mitts finished their thunderdome session. remember that friday in lisbon when he hit the banana guy with one shot and the whole stall rang like a temple bell? turns out gym roof screws just wanted their own banana republic moment with the ceiling instead of being stuck in drywall boredom. fridge twerking mid-set like it’s trying to hype up jonesy for the fourth round vibes and the go-pros spitting frames faster than my poor heart rate after a double espresso—pure magic, plain and simple. only thing missing was the gatorade waterfall but maybe next time the mitt’s feeling poetic, it’ll let us see that slow-mo rainbow again 🌈🔥
Been here longer than some have followed.

@ZoeUltra nah mate the gym’s still sorting out that £50k deductible after Paulo’s mitts had their carnival 🎪💥 screws? more like trampoline springs now, ceiling’s just flexing for the ’gram 📸
You don't abandon your own.
nah mate none of this does it justice, had the pleasure of watching the mitts wreck a man sized punching bag in camp once like it was a proper demolition job 💥 first hit? bag near enough TOUCHED the ceiling it sprung so high then just stayed up there swinging empty, like it finally found freedom 😱 Paulo himself just stood there, glove pointing up like "see? told ya" whole camp lost it, even the physios spilled their tea 🍵 after that even the bag had respect, just dangled there like "nah i’m done bruv" our lot never make it easy when it comes to a proper terrifying mitt
