    how could you even tell? hes an old man and completely shot. he lost 7 out of his last 8 mma fights. he just likes money and attention so he willingly joined in on the con.

        Lol, I can't believe people watch this dude. Yet to face a real boxer and he acts like one. How long did Silva have to train? 3 weeks?

          By his run in boxing. Go watch his recent boxing matches and you'll see what I mean.

            He’s old

            we saw an old Evander Holyfield get smashed up against a younger UFC fighter in a boxing match. Shave 10-15 years off Holyfield and he wins by slaughter.

            Jake Paul beating an old UFC fighter in a boxing match is probably a similar thing.

            Age matters, for every Hopkins, there’s 10,000 other athletes that completely lose it. Doesn’t matter how good you used to be.

              Like I said, hes just old. I actually expected Jake to KO him tbh considering his age and mileage. If anything the amount of trouble Jake had in that fight has really highlighted his ceiling. We are talking a 47 year old who might have been a solid journeyman in boxing 15 years ago.

                remember prime anderson silva at age 23 was ko'd in boxing by a fighter who has a 30 and 22 record. this old shot man gave jake paul a good fight...and that makes jake paul good somehow?

                  He's been old his entire boxing career.

                    For 47 years old he was trying and had some moves in there. Some where in the back of his mind he didn't want to become another MEME. The minute he pressured hard he got dropped. Don't think that he threw the fight because I thought he was doing very well until his age started to show up.

                      Yeah but he fought Tito, who is even older than him and even in his prime 20 years ago had ****ing terrible striking.

                      The JCC jr fight? eh, its impressive in a sense but we all know Chavez jr is an unprofessional mess.
