I don't have a problem with Jake Paul, and think he's following a clever blueprint in lulling people into a false sense of security, while he is really actually living the life and training/sparring at an elite level.

His promotional skills are top tier though. This story is absolute waffle, but great marketing for the casual reader...

at least this time he's facing actual boxer

Rahman will be heavily dehydrated and fighting a lot lighter. He also got knocked out in his last fight.
I still think he wins

The NYSAC is a JOKE! Zero credibility like the good old days of Dooley, Prenderville, etc...

I have never seen Rahman jr fight, but a 6'3 31 year old actual career boxer with a 12-1 record sounds like a serious step up for Jake. I'll be impressed if he wins, assuming this shyt isnt all fake anyway.

Paul's first choice of opponent was Mickey Rourke. He's a pro boxer doe

Why would NYSAC care who a youtube celebrity boxer wants to fight? No matter how good Paul looks, he will always be a youtube celebrity. Even if he KO’s Rahman in 1 round, he will still just be a celebrity. At best, Paul looks the part of a “decent” boxer.

The way he moves around, his stance, the way he throws, sets up shots, and covers up, you can tell he knows a little more than what he leads people to believe.

Jake with the Hyperbole as usual. I strongly doubt the Comission told him it’s insane and psychotic just before giving him the green light.

NYSAC is scared of what the problem child is about to do to the game. Had them folks scared as hell
