KSI, 29, kicked off the night with a second round knockout win over former football prodigy Swarmz, real name Brandon Scott.
He then KOed Pineda in the third round after returning to the ring later in the evening.
Paul was quick to react to his rival’s wins, declaring on Twitter: “Nate Robinson would beat KSI.”
Nate Robinson being one of Paul’s former opponents, a former professional basketball player who was knocked out in the second round when the pair fought in November 2020.
Following that Paul brandished KSI “smart” for not calling him out during his post-fight interviews.
He tweeted: “Smart man KSI is not calling me out. He knows the truth.”
The 25-year-old continued his social media spree by retweeting a post from pro boxer Amanda Serrano, saying KSI is in for a “bad night” if he ever fought Paul.
Paul then turned his attention to revealing he is set to return to the ring later this year and his next opponent will announced in the coming days.

He confirmed: “Just got the call. Massive opponent announcement this week. October.”
Paul had been due to fight Hasim Rahman Jr at Madison Square Garden earlier this month but the fight was canned due to a weight dispute.
While his next opponent remains a mystery, his own promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, claimed Paul will be going into the fight as the “underdog”.
A tweet read: “Next week we will announce JAKE PAUL’s next opponent. @jakepaul will almost certainly be the underdog. He knows that and he wants that.”
KSI meanwhile confirmed after knocking out Pineda that he will return to the ring in January.
Fellow Brit boxer Tommy Fury and kickboxing star Andrew Tate being just two of the names he called out in his victory speech.
Fury himself ridiculed KSI following his win over Swarmz, writing on Twitter: “What have I just seen.”
He then reacted to KSI’s second win by tweeting: “You know where to find me.”
