Jake seems super confident there's no doubt about that... Joshua is the favourite on paper but as we all know, styles make fights! He may struggle to land on jake and get frustrated

[noone]

the fight is fixed. get real.

Something shocking or surprising might just happen. They say there are no secret do's and don'ts in the contract.

I'm more worried that Joshua is going get embarassed, but shall see.

This is a win-win for both sides. AJ will get some rounds in against a guy who is no threat to wipe the rust off before Fury. Paul will get to say he went in there and lasted 4-5 rounds with AJ. Both sides make a good amount of money and everyone is happy. Jake will continue his bum of the month tour and I am sure AJ will get some sort of shot at a title. Usyk will most likely fight Wilder and then retire, fragmenting all the belts.

hell no, this is as real as it gets

I don't think it's fixed and I think the percentage change of a Joshua win is about 99.5%.

The most likely outcome is Joshua folding him before the final bell. There is a not insubstantial chance, though, offering a path to something of a moral victory for Paul, which is to be awkward and run for 8 rounds. He then goes the distance, loses the decision and then gets to brag about how he went the distance with a former HW champ who is still in the main part of his career. He will obviously never mention that it was an 8-round fight. Such an outcome for Joshua would be as good as a loss.

Still, the most likely outcome is Joshua breaks him down within the first 5 rounds.

" ... But as WE ALL know, Styles make fights you say? No. YOU are the only one that believes that nonsense in regards to Jake Paul. Perhaps, Julio Cezar Chavez Jr could beat AJ since we all know styles make fight? Amiright?
