Logic is out the window in a Jake Paul event. The Dubois debacle gave credence to the notion that some of them simply get old overnight, and for some reason, AJ hasn't returned in 15 months. The return kept getting pushed back under various "niggling" reasons. As with the aborted Hasim Rahman Jr fight some years back, Paul has stipulated a 240lb limit for Joshua, who is probably having to pare off 20 or more pounds to make that weight. And that is but one card in a stacked deck in Paul's favor. I'm certain Paul sees something amiss with AJ, who again, is in recovery mode, coming off the shock of being manhandled and ring rusty (even for this day and age).
Look for the unseen to alter the outcome of this yet-to-happen debacle. Look for Paul's witchcraft to take hold as he pitches victory over a zombie. AJ was chosen for a reason. This match makes no sense for a serious fighter looking to regain form but it makes complete sense given the cash-out value of a career quietly already effectively over and waiting to be revealed truly as such.
I truly hope I am wrong.
