    Does he stand a chance against the Youtuber?

    He just looks awkward doing it, he is like an European robotic fighter.

      His foot work is going to be an even bigger problem than his punching technique or defense. When you have to worry about take downs, knees, elbows, and kicks (especially leg kicks) your stance and movement patterns are entirely different. He has a lot to unlearn in a short amount of time. Jake Paul has an advantage here even though he's a novice because he's had boxing training from the start. He doesn't have a lifetime of conditioning to work against.

        Looks like he's doing pads for the first time.

            His reaction time to targets coming at him is much better then the actual pad work shown .

            Not bad for a wrestler ,most don’t get accustomed to good boxing routine. I think Jake sleeps him though .
