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

[Bearknuckle]

I legit think jake paul is much better than people think. He actually showed ring IQ and has decent boxing technique.

all the people saying he needs to fight a legit boxer dont realize that most these “top boxers” have extremely padded records, their first 20 fights are against lesser competition than paul’s first 5 tbh.

im not saying paul is the best boxer around 180ish lbs. but he’s actually pretty good. Would be interesting to see him fight canelo.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Surely someone's getting sued eventually, though.

You literally can't pretend fixed fights are legit contests.

You can't have two 'promoters' promoting a fight that are joined at the hip, and have people lose money on it.

I don't gamble, but there's an opening here.

Apparently yes, yes you can

 

[Bearknuckle]

Why? Why can’t he fight actual serious boxers? Nate should duck him unless he wants a payday. Paul is much bigger and Diaz without submissions to threaten with isn’t going to make a good fight.

Sounds like ur scared that Paul would beat Diaz to a pulp.

 

[Jeff Goldblum69]

If Paul gets the Nate Diaz fight and beats him, the likely next opponent would be Conor McGregor in a gigafight.

Conor has nothing left for MMA. He'll get wrecked by any top guy, and if he can't make 155 anymore, it's going to get worse for him.

Paul vs McGregor makes sense in late 2023.

vs

Who takes it ?

paul easy.... conor is a tiny man

They hate on him because he has been fighting MMA fighters, not boxers, all of whom have essentially washed out of MMA because they can’t compete there anymore. As great as Anderson was in MMA, he still lost 7 of his last 9 and the UFC released him.

Even if you throw in his recent boxing wins, that’s still 7 losses in his last 11 fights before tonight. That isn’t good.

Jake is a good boxer and has poured tens of thousands of dollars into top trainers and put in the work for years now, but he isn’t fighting equal sized, similar age, skilled boxers. He is fighting old men who couldn’t compete in a different sport anymore.

No bitterness, just straight facts. Fight real boxers and make a real career out of it.

can't really do that though.

Nobody will pay to see him fight no names.

It's not even about Jake himself but showtime and all the figureheads behind him. They aren't going to put on fights that aren't economically viable.

Even the trending numbers for hasim rahman Jr were shitting the bed and he's got something of a name.

He's good enough to fight legit boxers, but who knows how long they'll continue on the current trajectory.

If he'd fought Hasim or Fury, it would've looked a lot more one sided than his bout against Anderson tonight imo.

 

[Siver!]

Apparently yes, yes you can

But why though?

Is everyone dumb as shit?

Well I just lost some $$$





I bet 5k on a draw earlier today.

 

[Shilajit]

Boxing snobs should take it easy. At this point, It's hard to deny Jack Paul as a legit boxer, and he'll be making your subforum much more popular by introducing many people to boxing.

You should be more welcoming to boxing noobs. We're kind of liking this sport.

jack paul bless

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Next one of you obsessed juvenile delinquents or trolls to make a thread in the Heavies to rustle Jimmies is getting the jab, lol.

A Mousasi jab or a Jake jab?
I think that's a good spectrum for perfect to bad

 

[Pierced7681]

Dana doesn’t care he cut Anderson and hasn’t even put him in the hof lol

 

[pick999]

Jake koed the ww goat and dropped and beat the mw goat

 

[Savagewolf]

Sounds like ur scared that Paul would beat Diaz to a pulp.

Why would I be scared? I’m not fighting either one of them. I’m just bored of Paul going after washed up mma guys instead of real boxers.

Depends. Might even be a Hasbulla level jab.

Trained professional fighter with a lifetime of experience ducking a guy who was on the disney channel a couple of years ago.

LMAO.

From here on out, anyone claiming that UFC is a "sport" should be lampooned with brutal regularity.

 

[Savagewolf]

Jake koed the ww goat and dropped and beat the mw goat

So did the last 7 of 9 people Anderson fought in mma. He got cut for a reason.

 

[User9992]

Jake Paul would KO Conor easily.

Right hand... BOOM! - > 'HEADSHOT, DEAD'!

 

[Glass Heart]

Why shouldn’t it have happened? Jake has poured tens of thousands of dollars into top level boxing training and spent years working on it. He’s half Anderson’s age. The only thing embarrassing is he couldn’t finish a man twice his age who washed out of mma.

Yeah, totally man. That was so embarrassing. A YouTube personality just outboxed one of the most famous strikers in the world who was competing professionally 24 months ago.

You incompetent clown, lol.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Jake has now fought

a basketball player
Askren -15 pound smaller wrestler
Woodley 15 pound smaller wrestler twice
Silva 47 year old

and now calls out Diaz a 30 pound smaller bjj guy lol

unreal how he still avoids boxing a single boxer
