For Jake Paul to fight someone real. He now fights freakin AJ. You wanted to see Paul get KTFO, here is the scoop. What's not to like?
Stop complaining about everything the man does. Respect for taking such a challenge.
Welcome in haters.
AJ is quoted as saying he will 'seek & destroy'
if what he is saying is the truth the fight will be over in round 1 or round 2 and it wont even be a boxing fight
Yeah, it does get a bit like a broken record. Damned if he do, damned if he don't. I'll say, this is the most interested I've been for a JP fight to see if he can pull it off as long as it's not fixed. Granted, I also don't believe he should last more than 1-2rds. Though if he shows something we've never seen before and AJ looks legit old in there, maybe he did get what he wanted out of a previously KO'd AJ. I just don't think AJ is over the hill yet.
Please tell me you’re implying with this post that you’re one of the tinfoil commenters who believe Mike Tyson essentially at age 60 was going to beat Jake Paul…he wasn’t in a position to win no matter what. If he got beaten, he lost to an old man. If he had starched him, he would’ve been labeled a bully and gotten Netflix to pull out of the sport with all the absolute bad press. You don’t need to script that, Tyson is ancient at this point and Paul is just okay enough to wash him. It means Jack…but once he got in there with him, it was either one outcome or the other. If you wanna’ say carried him, sure. But is that scripted? Wouldn’t most people say Canelo carried Munguia? Haven’t other boxers carried fighters? Maybe Jones, Jr./Trinidad?
Of course talent should be the key to success. I agree with that. But let’s be honest, nothing drives up attention/viewership on a general level than being notorious. Floyd started making life changing money when he embraced the heel role, whereas someone like Andre Ward (as talented and accomplished as he was) could never sell anywhere NEAR someone like Floyd or Pacquiao…or hell, even a distant third place like Miguel Cotto back in the day. I’m only comparing notoriety here between Paul and Floyd, not skill level. Don’t get up in arms.
That’s unfortunately the world we live in now. Not saying it’s right, it just is.
Also, as much as AJ is a colossal puncher, do people really think he’s going to come out swinging for the fences? Haven’t we seen this rhetoric before? Remember when the boards here in 2017 (and I might include myself in this, I’m not sure) when we were all saying Mayweather could wipe out McGregor in 1 or 2 rounds? We then pivoted to, “He carried him.”
The reality was probably that Floyd got a hair worse and McGregor was better than Floyd thought.
AJ should win, but you think he needs to come out swinging for the fences otherwise “the script/fix is in”?
Umm, ok.
I really admire your patience with this troll. He's clearly just either a drunk or just so set in his ways he can't see the forest for the trees.
You’ll be watching, though....
More like reading about it
I could never forgive myself if I contributed $0.03 towards his shlitshows
Like i said
If AJ is allowed to actually fight him and go for the KO, I will come back here for some crow pie.
Your "tinfoil" comment, doe......
From someone who is drawn into the JP bullshlt is rich
Am I the one with the tinfoil hat? Because I don’t believe his fights are scripted? No, I don’t. He wins because his fights are against fighters that are either not good enough, don’t have a background in boxing, or are over the hill. Not gonna’ knock him for it. Fighters coming up slowly do the same or similar maneuvers while building their record. He still ended up here, though. Can’t knock the hustle.
You’ll be watching, though. Don’t lie. You gotta’ keep tabs on Joshua and make sure he comes out swinging for the bleachers to verify if it’s scripted or not. See you in two weeks, sir. :rolleyes:
Did you see my post a couple exchanges back? I said I’ve never purchased a single PPV Jake Paul related. Not a single one.
I wasn’t interested in the Paul-Tyson match-up either. But I did tune in to see the co-main in Serrano-Taylor 2.
Your "tinfoil" comment, doe......

Nope
Unlike you, I wasn't drawn into the hype of seeing Mlike in the ring. Especially after the garbage between him and RJJ.
Also, unlike you, I've never given JP a second of my time.
Other than to criticize it, that is.
I don't want to make assumptions but, I'm willing to bet you've paid for his scripted nonsense at least once.
If there is no script, AJ should mop up the ring with JP and end this farce.
So, your lame AF tinfoil bit failed miserably
But do continue to get caught up in the JP hoopla
Make sure YOUR tinfoil cap is at the ready :fing02:

Boxing is worse off with him and his scripts and rules and choice of opps.
I'm sure his fight with AJ will have a script of some kind.
Talent should be the key to success, not (anti) social media notoriety
I will be back here to eat crow if there is no script and AJ is allowed to swing for the bleachers

For the record, I have never purchased a single one of his PPV fights. And no, I don’t expect him to beat AJ. And also no, I won’t be crying/upset when he gets starched on fight night. You’re not talking with a fan, you’re talking to a guy who enjoys the atmosphere and the buzz.
Same thing (the bold)
I know they’re not even boxers to begin with, but it’s kind of head-turning that he would fight these guys at all so early. Look, we’re going in circles here.
Jake Paul is not going into the hall of fame as a boxer. Got it.
Jake Paul is not a world class fighter. Got it.
Jake Paul without notoriety means not having this discussion to begin with. Got it.
But he DOES have it for better or for worse.

You said JP has "high profile KOs."
Ummmm......
Askren and Woodley are not boxers.
There is no kicking and wrestling in boxing
Kicking and wrestling is what they do best.
You're giving the cvnt more credit than he deserves, hence, not being objective.
It's more of a case where his dumb as dirt FOLLOWERS pay for his GARBAGE with some equally ignorant boxing fans who will pay for anything.....
He is young and in good shape and knows enough about "fight" to make it up to this point.
Thanks to a very well managed road.
Take away his notoriety and we are not having this discussion.
He would probably be an apprentice mechanic in some dirt road mid west town

Jake…whatever he—THAT—is as an attraction is for some reason or another getting people riled up one way or another and it translates to dollars. Can’t hate him for people being gullible enough to shell out for his events.

You’re gonna’ sit there and tell me that him knocking Askren and Woodley out wasn’t generating enormous views? I’m not saying they were elite boxers, but let’s keep it objective…could you see any other celebrity/social media influencer (that’s what Jake Paul is essentially, right?) out there deciding to lace them up for the first time and within two/three years producing those same results? I don’t think so necessarily..

AJ may be on a punch limit
Can't land more than 3 per rd
That includes jabs :lol1:
Remember that Paul lost to the part time fighter in Fury with an amateur jab.
:lol1: @ "high profile KOs."
Lawd Ham Mersay :haha:
He's a cvnt
So are his "followers"
:peeright:
Dumb PsOS who pay for his sideshows
JP vs Tank exhibition, doe :greddy2:

From Michael Winkler’s book “Grimmish” can also apply: “Anybody can learn to box. But to fight is different.”
You can have trained and learned how to box and know the movements and what to do. But what good is it (outside of exercise) if you don’t have the mental make-up of a fighter or at the very least gumption to believe you can actually get in there and exchange punches? At the very least Jake Paul has had far more success than anybody ever expected when he first started this several years ago.
I mean, really? Did anybody look at Jake in his first fight (the one where he looks two weight classes lower and is wearing headgear) and say to themselves, “This guy could flatten Askren, Woodley, knock down and beat Silva, Diaz, and most likely shutout Chavez, Jr.”
I guarantee nobody would’ve thought that. Not a single poster here. In fact, if somebody had brought up Tank Davis in his first fight, everybody would’ve been saying Tank starches him. Six years forward, he signs to fight Tank (in an exhibition mind you because that’s what most likely PBC inserted as insurance), all of a sudden Paul is being a bully, which means subconsciously they don’t think Paul is a doormat anymore. He’s decent enough. Not a hall of famer, not a champion…an anomaly at the very least that’s polarizing and is moving the needle in a major way regardless of what the establishment thinks of him.
I like the dude. He don’t think he’s a “fly by” participant. I think he actually is into the fight scene which is why he hasn’t just sat back and been a fighter and nothing more. He’s made his own promotional company and made Serrano her biggest paydays. Good for him.
Jake Paul moves the needle because he had a massive profile before he even stepped into boxing. THAT…coupled with his string of high profile KO’s

What are the rules for this fight? Is it 2 or 3 minute rounds? How many rounds? Does it have any contracted weight and any hydration clauses?
8 rounder, 3 minutes.
Joshua cannot weigh-in more than 245 pounds.
