The Jake Paul Megathread v2

[IDGETKTFO]

So he tags the B & C leagues? Both are not on PPV, the biggest payday both have offered requires winning multiple fights in a league and/or tournament format, which he makes more in boxing, why would he make any transition to that?

Like someone already said, he tagged them to rustle Dana's jimmies, and also, if he actually does a MMA PPV, he can cross promote with fighters from either of those Orgs. Either way its a big middle finger to Dana/UFC, lol

 

[ayaandirtyboy]

Sounds like the money is drying up in boxing so he will end up milking Dana for another payday or two

Also I didnt realize knocking out Woodley and Askren makes you as good of a boxer as any MMA fighter.

to be fair not many people managed to knock woodley out specially the way jake did

If he can work on his TDD, he will be lights out in boxing range against actual MMA fighters.

 

[fortheo]

Well, he never faced a boxer in his boxing career, so I doubt he'll ever face an MMA fighter during his MMA career.

Not great technique but bonus points for practicing it

Not bad for day 1. That little bit of pivot is better than most.

 

[HunterAcosta]

Not to mention size. It’s not a stretch to think he can KO a guy like McGregor who isn’t the strongest with grappling in some time, he’s much much bigger.

Hell, with Jake’s college wrestling background it probably won’t take long to get to Connor’s level of grappling and surpass it.

College ? I thought only high school. Logan was the more successful state level high school wrestler , and I don’t think he even wrestled in college. I may be wrong but I don’t think so . If you have conflicting info , please share .

 

[downthepines]

I would bet he has thrown hundreds if not thousands of kicks prior to that.

 

[campbecc]

We know he can box as good as any MMA fighter. With his wrestling history, and a little bit of kickboxing, he would embarrass MMA. This is what happens when an A-level athlete decides to take shit seriously.

How do we know that? Are way past their prime Askren and Woodley the best MMA has to offer in boxing?

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Lol mods quick to move this thread about a fighter training mma that just knocked out a former UFC champion.

Lol pathetic.

 

[ifindgifsforjackslack]

Not bad for day 1. That little bit of pivot is better than most.

Yeah it’s good he’s moving his foot right, but the angle of the kick would make it slide up a leg or get extremely damaged if checked. Better to roll that kick over so it really digs in.

This is correct….. I think Logan may have had a scholarship for Ohio University, but didn’t pan out long at all… Jake didn’t wrestle past high school

 

[true_fan]

Because it looks like that’s his next thing MMA!
What do u think?

 

[Steveo843]

Definitely

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

CM Punk is a GOAT, Jake is some Disney soyboy

 

[El Panteron]

I mean he isn't a non particulary athletic almost 40 years old guy whose body is destroyed by getting beaten up on purpose every day for two decades.
So I guess yeah?

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

With a couple of zumba classes i’m pretty sure i could have a more successful MMA career than CM.

 

[soulsstealer]

kinda scary that he can actually beat mma fighters.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

CM Punk vs Paul in Eagle FC?

 

[ocfightfan]

No because Punk had years of experience wrestling professionally before getting into the Octagon. Jake lacks that key skill.
