News *** Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva Boxing Bout Set for October MEGA THREAD ***

[Savagewolf]

Holy fuck, I'm enjoying this so much lol.

MMA keeps getting exposed big time. Big Jake is a legend.

1/10 for trolling. They are different sports. Anderson was nearly twice Jake’s age. It’s been said a thousand times, if he wants to be taken seriously than fight real boxers.

If he wants to fight MMA guys, fight an mma fight.

Different sport.

Realistically someone who trains pure boxing that has some talent for a few years can surpass the boxing level of most of MMA

Most people don't grasp how big the gap Is between the two.

Apples and oranges tho. Throw wrestling, jiu jitsu, muay thai and everything else Into the mix and to be great at MMA is an entirely different animal.

I've said it for years though, Jake has genuine talent for boxing. He's capable of much more and has a higher ceiling than people realize. But people are just too emotionally dictated by polarizing figures and they're incapable of being rational, even In the chance that they have some boxing IQ to begin with.

I had it at 77-74, I don't think that score is outrageous. Silva won the first two, then frankly lost 5 of the next 6.

Silva only threw one punch in round 1, how did he win that one?

 

[El Fernas]

Well, lets all hope Nate answers the call, isnt this what he was looking for? Payday is ready for him, i got Jake Paul tho.

 

[Carniusss]

Man in the second round I felt like I was 20 again watching Anderson style on forest. I was bouncing off my couch shadow boxing the wall and took a piss in the sump pump pit.

damnit

 

[HuskySamoan]

As shitty as it feels right now as an MMA fan, the age excuse for Silva doesn't really hold weight when you consider he's been an active fighter this whole time. He recently beat a former world champion in Chavez Jr, and it wasn't that long ago that he went the distance with Izzy.

He's 47, it holds. He's been slowing down for many years now.

 

[loller90278]

im actually surprised at how well anderson took those shots. I thought he'd get his lights shut out by the 7th round..

a good showing by both guys actually.

Jake will obliterate nate diaz

 

[The Diplomat]

Feed him to Tyson

We aren't ready for that heartbreak.

 

[whitebelt4life]

He's beating Nate first.

Jake destroys Nate. Nate is too small, too old and not a real boxer.

 

[MRT]

Diaz is almost certainly next...there is way too much money on the table for that not to happen.

 

[User9992]

Khabib should box Paul

Khabib can't box at all. He is mostly a grappler.

While Conor fans claim he is the best boxer in UFC history!

 

[HuskySamoan]

or maybe fight a retired boxer

Roy Jones vs Jake Paul could be on the horizon in a couple more years when Jake gets more experience. He will prove himself to be better than the arguable p4p middleweight boxing GOAT.

He's 47, it holds. He's been slowing down for many years now.

Yeah he's old, but he was still in his 40s when he fought Izzy in the latter stages of his UFC career. He beat Chavez Jr (a former world champion) just last year.

anyone who understands boxing will take him seriously. Especially relative to how long he's been doing this.

People who lack the ability to assess talent and skillset, won't

The fighters know. GSP, Silva, Adesanya, OMalley, DC, Zab Judah, Mosley, etc. All have shown him some respect..because anyone who understands boxing knows the amount of effort It takes to attain that level of ability.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

I had it at 77-74, I don't think that score is outrageous. Silva won the first two, then frankly lost 5 of the next 6.

I had it a draw prior to the knockdown, but I was having to go back and forth between work and the fight so missed bits here and there.

 

[WklySportsMemes]

Time for Jake to fight some real boxers. Zero interest in Diaz.

Why? Plenty of champs were still fighting no hope jobbers & cans at this age and this many fights into their career.
Only difference is those fights are ussually not televised let a lone PPV.

 

[george14]

He's 47, it holds. He's been slowing down for many years now.

And Hopkins was unified champ at 49. Not everyone ages the same. As the poster said, Silva beat Chavez a year ago. Go ahead and mock Chavez, he’s indeed a “real” boxer.

 

[Queen B]

and then the GOAT proceeded to call him out

 

[arcadeperfect]

Khabib should box Paul

Khabib would die.

 

[spooNN]

Jake destroys Nate. Nate is too small, too old and not a real boxer.

Nate also goofs around too much trying to look cool. Next thing you know he's down like 3 rounds.
