1. Mike Perry is not a "boxing expert". He is 0-2 with 2 KO losses.
2. Mike Perry is not "one of the best bare knuckle boxers around". He fights tomato cans and doesn't have the guts to challenge the real champ, so BKFC made up a fake belt for him like the UFC BMF belt.
When they asked the boxers on the stage who they expected to win out of AJ and Jake Paul. Paul was picked 6-4.
I was embarrassed for those 6. They felt like sellouts to me. And no reason to really.
This is a mess of a fight. Outside AJ blowing out a shoulder, twisting an ankle, or being hit by a loose light fitting. The outcome is an AJ win and a knockout. AJ is all about image. He's not a good pick and he was humiliated in his last fight.
I'm not saying Paul couldn't possibly win an area title in the UK at crusier maybe like the midlands or something . He can box a bit, he is athletic, he seems dedicated.
But the idea that he was can hold any sort of shot with 10 ounce gloves on from AJ is silly. He can't. He won't. And the idea he won't get hit at all? Liven yourself up.
Realistically if you take away the noise Jake should be fighting someone like Cheavon Clarke who I think is 11-2 but a former decent amateur. I would still not expect Jake to beat him.
If Jake landed his best shot even in the realms of fantasy. He's shown a bit of power at what was it light heavy?
'Chinny' AJ has been taking shots exclusively from heavies for what 17 years?
I don't expect if Jake landed a hail Mary it would do anything
