Comments Thread For: Rahman Jr. Explains That He Was Told To Go Easy on Jake Paul in Sparring

[N!Ck F.]

Rahman Jr is ranked like 200 by BoxRec at heavyweight.
He’s like 32 years old, got knocked out in April and now has to cut 25 pounds and can only rehydrate ti 215.
Really embarrassing. Jake literally picked one of the worst boxers he could find.

I actually looked up this guy’s loss. Morrison has a helluva chin, walked through fire to get that KO. I don’t see Jake having that kind of stuff in him. This might actually be a legit opponent. Hopefully not too drained on fight night. The rehydration clause puts him about 10lbs under his normal weight, 25lbs under for the scales. That’s a lot for a HW who has probably never had need for a nutritionist or to even have to be concerned with weight at all.

Rahman Sr. Is the key here imop . I can’t see why Rahman jr shouldn’t be able to win having him around . Rahman jr isn’t overly big heavyweight I don’t see it as a difficult task . One thing Jake doesn’t know or overlooked is boxing is a team sport it’s not just the fighter it’s everyone around him helping him prepare !he said Rahman sr can’t fight for him but if he listens to his father this could end bad for Jake .

They'll probably tell Rahman Jr. the same thing when they actually fight.

Precisely. Rahman's pay always comes with stipulations.
