All BOXING commissions should follow suit.

The only thing that I have an issue with in this fight is that Rahman has to come down to 200 lbs. He has fought as high as the 260's and his last fight he was in the 220's. If he struggles with the weight he has already shown to have a suspect chin so I could see that ending bad. Hopefully he boxes good though and knocks out Paul.

The 'Problem-Child' has the industry shook, the NYC's decision to protect former UFC champions from a Kids-Disney Youtuber with hardly any boxing experience is su****ious.

I bet Dana White made some phone calls and had sabotaged Jake's plan to knock-out the MMA G.O.A.T, Anderson Silva, ( like Tyrone Woodley ) on PPV. This is another L for MMA fans, and that sorry-ass Conor McGregor, who keeps ducking Jake Paul.

So he wants credit for fighting a real boxer but admits he's only doing it because the MMAers he wanted to face were rejected by the commission. Kinda takes away some of the credit. 'I wanted to fight a bum but they wouldn't let me, ain't I great?'

Lmao what is the risk? Fighting other boxers?
No boxer is fighting youtubers and mma fighters

Many cruiser-weights probably weigh 220 on fight night anyway. If it is Rahman Jr.'s first weight cut, it may be hard for him though.

Yeah they are used to cutting though Rahman has never fought at Cruiserweight as a professional if I remember correctly. I don't believe it's his first weight cut as he said he fought at 200 in the amateurs, but if he hasn't done it for a while it's not that easy to just drop back down could see a RJJ Vs Tarver situation playing out except without the HOF talent.

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.

I can see the biopic now where Paul, played by Untouchables-era Sean Connery, grabs one of the New York Athletic State Commission’s pen-pusher officials by the lapels, and shouts “JUSH TRY AND SHTOP ME!”

Finally, someone saying it as it is! The Problem Child’s gon’ tear **** up! To paraphrase Rowdy Roddy Piper in ‘They Live’, Jake Paul’s here to ‘kick bubble gum and chew ass… but he’s all out of ass’……

Wait, is that right?
