Jake Paul Phony Fights Discussion

BREAKING NEWS: Fight will be over 8 rounds, 3 mins a round.

 

AJ needs Tommy Fury in his camp.

The only person to have defeated the mighty Paul will provide much needed guidance to achieve this mammoth feat.

 

AJ can't weight more than 245 LOL never seen a rehydration clause on a heavyweight fight.
I still doubt that this is a real fight I really hope it is though and that AJ hurts him badly.

 

Same. I know Joshua has been looking iffy lately but this is the chance for him to finally swat this annoying fly that has been crawling over the face of the sport for some time now. There's no reason even a diminished AJ cannot obliterate Paul.

 

Fury isn't a big puncher, and Ngannou is every bit a superheavy. This isn't the same thing, as AJ is a big puncher and Jake Paul is a small cruiser.

 

Eh, what was he, 252 for his last fight? He was lean, but not super shredded. Why even bother with doing a water weight cut when he's never done one (seriously, when's the last time AJ weighed under 200lbs, when he was in middle school?)? Time to get jacked.

 

I will honestly be amazed if it goes past the 2 minute mark

 

Oh yeah look it won't make a difference it just goes to show this little weasel Paul always needs to try an sneak something in there to try and give himself an advantage. If anything AJ will have to train harder to get to 245 when he could really beat Jake without a training camp at all.

 

A boxing judge? Pretty sure they will hear the case and just submit a 99-91 scorecard out of muscle memory

 

Netflix wants to be in the business of dangerous fights with exceptionally old ex fighters and fights with giant skill and size mismatches seems like a bad idea.

But hey, whatever gets those views for a night and bumps some subscriptions.

 

In interviews with Eddie, guys have been invoking "the integrity of boxing."

Let's face it.... I'm afraid that's an oxymoron now... if it hasn't actually been for decades....

I wonder if 30 years from now we'll see Jake Paul as the Bobby Riggs of Boxing ... challenging female fighters half his age....

 

Regulated in what way? AJ cannot go full force, 8, 2 minute rounds etc?

 

Netflix is a cancer in the world of entertainment; they've ruined countless classic TV shows that they rebought and rehashed as "Netflix Originals" - with seemingly no context of what the word original means, and they've created some of the worst films of the 2020s with the highest budgets. The Tyson vs. Paul mess proved they have no standards for quality in sport, either.

Yes, they went for the Canelo and Crawford fight, which is commendable, but other than that, they're turning boxing into a circus event. Until somebody ends up in a wheelchair, they will continue with these joke crossover fights. Unluckily for Paul, it could be the Joshua fight that gives him a horrible brain injury and puts an end to these farcical ideas once and for all.

 

Can't argue much with this

 

If I was Jake Paul I wouldn't stand in front of full force Joshua for one 2 minute round... I don't think he takes punches as well as ngannou. And I don't think he offers ANY offense to deter joshua one bit
