Jake Paul Phony Fights Discussion

Yes, I see the same result as with AJ. Jake would still be the much smaller and yes, less skilled man in the fight. That's a fatal combination in boxing.

 

Paul was virtually on the run from the ringing of the bell. Legit not even fighting to be honest, like those first couple of rounds have to be one of the most negative performances in boxing history

 

Yes, but AJ was indeed a bit nervous to start off the fight. He knew even if there was only a 1% chance that Jake would catch him, that happening in front of millions on Netflix would be a career killer.

He tried to force and rush a KO in the early rounds, but Jake ran, unlike Ngannou who just came right forward.

 

I think most professional boxers would have had a similar fear tbh

Your spot on, a lose would have finished him

 

He should still have been able to cut the ring off or countered those shots Paul landed more effectively. I feel like people let AJ off the hook for what was an embarrassing performance.

 

He still hasn't fully healed from the AJ jaw break and his future in the sport may be in question now

LOL literally **** around and find out for Jakey boy

 

It was all fun and games when he was fighting smaller, older, retired MMA fighters and boxers, but I figured when he finally fought someone who could hurt him, he'd come to the realization that he's already rich and question if he needs to be doing this?

 

Many pundits going into the fight said it would look bad if AJ took more than 2-4 rounds to get him out of there. I don't really buy that he was paid to carry Jake Paul tbh, it feels like a cop out.

Yes Paul fought a very negative fight, but we also need to consider the skill and size gap. It was a poor showing from AJ performance wise. Maybe he had an off night or something, idk.

 

You bring up a lot of fair points there.

I'd have to rewatch the fight, but I recall AJ taking effort in pinning Jake Paul but it just seemed off, like AJ forgot how to close in on opponents. I can't get past the obvious gulf in ability either. Put Dubios in there (basic as he is) where he's constantly marching forward with his jab and I don't see Jake Paul getting off the stool for round 3, and I'd consider AJ to be more experienced and skilled than Dubios even if he did lose to him.

You're right in that some questions will be answered in AJs next fight. I expect a sparring session, as I don't think an early KO really does much for AJ at this point.

 

Jake fought like a scared man and as you inferred it's not easy to box someone who doesn't want to actually engage and box.

I still give credit to Jake for stepping in the ring with AJ, many here and elsewhere didn't believe he'd actually go through with the fight.

If he's done with boxing, he actually went further than many predicted and made a hell of a lot of money. He doesn't need to take the injuries and damages that come with the sport if it's not truly in his heart.

 

Jake wont quite until he wins a world title such as it is in today s boxing world.

 

Do you think this might actually end up happening? I wouldn’t be shocked if this becomes a reality.
