    Yep and I saw AJ is at $1.10 and $3.50 to win in the first round.
    If this is a legit fight I would have AJ at $1.01 and Paul at something like $50 at least.
    Opetaia's last opponent was paying something like $27 so obviously Sportsbet are not convinced that everything is above board in this fight unless there are morons actually betting on Jake Paul which is bringing the odds down?

    Everyone remembers 1st Tyson's comeback fight against an overmatched record-padder Peter McNeely.

    McNeely was absolutely terrified of Iron Mike, he was scared to death.

    But instead of trying to run of quit, he rushed after Mike trying to trade punches with him. Surely it didn't last long, but at least McNeely overcame his awe.

    Will Jack repeat such a scenario before being KO'd by AJ? Your thoughts

    He referenced that he said what if AJ snaps his achilles? I was thinking AJ would still be able knock him out hoping on one leg.

    Wouldn’t be the first death caused in the ring.

    Joshua will spar him to a Decision. Joshua wins, but Paul wins a moral victory for going the distance with a two-time HW champ.

    I hadn't even watched it, but just assumed. The mother****er is literally trying to will it to happen, hoping it'll replace his cringey epic downfall has most embarrassing end of a career. ****ing clownshoe.:lol:

    He’ll probably be on his reverse treadmill all night.

    Tommy was actually the first person Jake went to after Tank dropped out. He apparently turned down a 12 million offer, also he can't actually fight in the US still due to his brother's underworld connections.

    I'm thinking Jake Paul may be absolutely roided to the gills like Ryan Garcia, this fight may be closer than we think

    You're right, mate. Smeĺls fishy but maybe there is just so many dumb ****s out there betting on Paul. I don't know what his odds were originally though.

    Roid doesn't improve boxing skills. Ngannou has twice the punching power and it did him little good.

    Straight to a specialist brain injury unit for 6 months, before heading to the physio to learn how to walk again for the next 2/3 years.
