Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jake Joseph Paul - Judgement Day, Dec 19th - Discussion Thread.

Do you actually think Joshua and Hearn would rig a boxing match? Not only is that a crime but it would also ruin Joshua’s public image.

 

Tommy Fury is an undefeated professional and Paul arguably beat him.

 

Fumbles Fury is utter garbage mate. And he clearly beat Fake Paul. Although it was a rubbish fight between 2 rubbish fighters.

 

Francis and Helenius both batter Jake Paul

Jake is decent but he's no bigger than a cruiserweight and he's journeyman level at BEST. Tommy Fury beat him...and Tommy Fury was a juice turkey to get his weight up himself, Jake is naturally probably a tad bigger.

Helenius is a legit world level heavyweight fighter, gave AJ issues because AJ is a mental midget.

Francis was a legit heavyweight MMA fighter, 250+ pounds. Now if Francis was sub 200 pounds maybe it would be interesting...and Francis manhandled Fury in his own clinching fight game which shows his MMA skills can be transferred to some elements of boxing.

Jake Paul is going to blow out just from having AJ in front of him....and if AJ really wants to he could chin him in 1 round, no messing destruction mode. Cripple him with a bodyshot out the gate and he will take a knee and quit.

AJ might carry him because it's not a boxing match...it's a WWE fight. That's the only question about this bout. I think it might just turn into a clownshow then afterwards Fury invades the ring and we get the Fury AJ promotion beginning.

I do think Jake's delusion had him believe maybe he could survive and "look good" against Davis not get chinned...but AJ is a different ballgame.

I hope it's not a contractual WWE match, it would be juicy to see AJ put his hands on someone who shouldn't legally be allowed in the ring with him.

 

Jake Paul isn't a terrible boxer. Hes a potential fringe CW contender.

For Anthony Joshua hes a terrible win. What ex HW champs out here beat a non youtuber CW prospect and get respect for that?

If Jake Paul wins a round or two rounds it makes AJ look bad. If AJ bombs Paul into stone age thats what hes supposed to do. Theres no margin for error here and if things go the way they should hes not going to get credit.

 

Just to make something clear, the Ngannou AJ beat would punch Jake out of the ring.

 

I'm sorry, because I do like AJ and generally stick up for him. But this is a dreadful, gimmicky cash grab fight.

 

Hearn has promoted exhibitions himself hasn’t he? On top of dodgy judges.

 

If 0-1 Ngannou had been completely destroyed by Tyson Fury, I'd say that's possible to rate Jake Paul above the AJ-Ngannou win.
But Tyson Fury actually had a lot of trouble with Ngannou. Which made him semi-legit for AJ.

Jake Paul is average-at-best, cruiserweight, 8 rounder boxer, who lost to Tommy Fury, who isn't even good enough to win a British light-heavyweight title.

 

Being undefeated absolutely nothing when you’ve only fought the partest of part timers.

 

Got to disagree. Ngannou, although only had 1 pro fight, was a champ in a combat sport and is way bigger than Paul.

 

Jake Paul just tweeted the below

"9AM EST Tuesday. Major update. Had to be done. It is what it is."

Sounds to me like reality has set in and he is pulling out like a lot of us predicted

If this is a pull-out announcement, nobody will ever pay attention to one of his fights again...

 

I always thought he would pull out. Just a big troll.
