Old Silva could beat gigantic baby and disappointment to his dad even if he was an MMA fighter and only had a few pro boxing matches.

Hopefully this doesn’t happen...

Interesting match up. Looks like it's gonna be an official boxing match and not an exhibition.

I think it ends up being a boring staring contest for some reason. Silva is old and can't pull the trigger anymore. And Jr. is Jr. He always finds a way to disappoint.

I remember when Silva was trying to fight get a boxing match with Roy Jones 10 years ago.

RJJ recently said Silva was his priority for an exhibition. Looks like Chavez Jr. Beat him to it.

Yeah and I don't know why Roy is so fixated on fighting Silva.

If I'm a promoter, Roy Jones vs Jon 'Bones' Jones: Keeping Up With The Joneses is a money making fight that sells itself just on the over-the-top ring entrances.

Anderson Silva isn't marketable. Him not speaking English doesn't help matters.

At 1 time when Silva was known as an MMA GOAT it wouldve sold decent Im sure but at this point its not worth much.

Finally a fight with a name guy JCC Jr can win. I bet he's as surprised as I am by this news.
