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

He's a cry bully/grifter whether he recognizes it or not. He whines that he's a great fighter and improving and here to help etc but then drags up small old guys or inexperienced guys or way past it guys and beats them, then when anyone dare bring up a legitimate contender or champion to fight he ridicules and belittles the interviewer because that type of question calls into question what he's saying.

That's why this Joshua fight is so perplexing, (well it's the money really but he was making money vs these overmatched opponents), he's actually going to be the one on the other end of the stick for once, overmatched and no advantage.

He trains hard and has put in some work while going farther in the Jake Paul shadow Division than I thought he would, I'll give him that. But he's in boxing terms a regional talent that anyone with eyes can see where his ceiling is. That's not a knock on him either for his efforts if I'm being fair

 

People are actually picking Paul to win

 

Those idiots don't really think Paul will win, it's that they want this sideshow clown to win.

 

If this is a real fight I could legit see Jake pulling out on the night. When he is in the locker room getting his hands wrapped an the reality sets in that he is in a hopeless situation he might actually poo his pants and go home. The ring walk will be terrifying for him unless he is actually delusional.

 

Him having a panic attack and then calling it off due to emotional distress and then claiming him walking away was actual a win for all of those suffering from mental health. I'm not ruling it out!

 

Yep Jake has never had to make a ring walk amateur or professional where the odds weren't stacked heavily in his favor. I've had amateur fights and walking into the unknown can be nerve racking.

 

Too late for that now

 

Unless he has a panic attack and collapses

He's making something like $70,000,000 for this. For that much, you walk to your execution with an attitude of "let's get this over with"

 

Jake has become a legitimate fighter. As you said, he's regional level. He might be able to win a regional level tournament. Tons of credit to him for that. Also, tons of credit for being the best self promoter in the history of the sport (yes, you bellends, he even beats out Ali; promoting yourself when you're actually as good as your smack talk says you are is one thing, doing it when you're limited is entirely another thing).

 

Anyone see the press conference that just finished?

Jake seemed coked/drugged up

 

There are apparently numerous people who have actually bet money on Jake. But those are probably the degenerate types who just hope to get lucky with the least probable of outcomes.

 

They are in Miami, as long as AJ didn't it should be fine.

 

I've got about 30 bucks on AJ to do it under 2 rounds. Easy money
