Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul - Preview Video

I've read the script. Paul scores a knock down. And Joshua drops Paul twice. AJ wins by unanimous decision. Then Usyk jumps in the ring and he does a face off with both AJ and Paul. Then John Cena runs into the ring to the save Paul from the other two.

 

Let’s be honest… if this thing isn’t pre-scripted WWF bull****… Joshua gets Paul out of there as bad as he did ngannou.

If Paul actually scores the upset… it will be Twilight Zone weird and possibly the biggest upset in the sport in the last 30 years

 

There better be some top notch ring walks, really hot ring girls, and some controversy. Maybe Jake can bite his ear and AJ can get a stinging agent in his eye. Also, we need a fanman to crash into the ring. What else could make this rememberable?

 

It would be biggest upset ever.

 

AJ will look like a world class boxer against Jake Paul, absolute killer....then he'll fight Fury and look like a YouTube himself

 

If this is real...AJ ko1 Paul

 

If we're being totally honest, here, if Joshua throws the same punch with the same power behind it, Paul would be lucky to only be leaving in an ambulance.

Ngannou was a hardened combat veteran and known to be durable - Jake is neither of those things.

 

Paul by brutal KO. Joshua is packing glass and Jake has elite power.

 

Paul’s fate is entirely in the hands of AJ.

As Usyk said, if AJ wants to kill Jake Paul, he will kill Jake Paul.

If legit, this isn’t anything more than a public execution. It shouldn’t be sanctioned. It’s very dangerous.

 

There's a pretty strong possibility that this is the fight that ends the crossover nonsense once and for all. It should have been AJ-Ngannou; that sickening mismatch and knockout was just the warning shot, but because nobody is listening and everyone is making too much money, when Paul potentially ends up on a ventilator for months or with a significant brain bleed, everyone will be running for the exits and taking zero responsibility.

I'm happy to be corrected here, but I haven't seen one promoter or sanctioning body come out and denounce how dangerous this is. I worry that it will end with him getting a horrid injury, and it'll be the sport that gets blamed rather than Paul, and his delusional team of yes-men who couldn't care less about him or his safety.

 

If Paul beats AJ, it would be the biggest upset in the history of boxing.

I think the fight will last more than 1 round. AJ will take it easy, while Paul runs around a bit in the first round. But the 2nd round is where Paul is going to get hurt badly.

 

Then ghost of Hogan floats through talking about you gotta live clean brotha, never give up brotha, cuz brotha, you're the only one that can save yourself brotha. Pythons brotha!!

 

If something horribly wrong with AJ's health didn't happen after Dubois' knockout, as they're leaking, I can't imagine how Joshua could have lost.
Maybe not.
They're only human, and anything can happen, but the likelihood that a much smaller, physically weaker, inferior boxer, or rather, a wealthy amateur playing boxer, will land a perfect punch and win the fight early (I absolutely don't believe in a points victory) against someone like Joshua is... extremely small. EXTREMELY SLIGHT.
Especially since, as history shows, the guy couldn't land a punch like the semi-celebrity Tommy Fury...

Yes, I see some boxing potential in Paul. He's not untalented. He's a guy with a punch, can take a beating, and already has a lot of boxing technique. The problem is that we're talking about a fight between such a man and a guy from a higher weight class who was at the highest level and could easily still be ranked in the top 10 weight classes in the world. The level jump is too enormous for this to work, and I think Jake Paul himself knows this perfectly well. Now, the question is whether this fight is a set-up.

I think it has to be, in a sense. I assume Paul has enough common sense not to jump into a real fight with someone like that, having had success against UFC retirees or 60-year-old legends.

I don't think the fight was set up to sway the result in Paul's favor. That would be too obvious. However, I think it's safe to assume Joshua won't take every opportunity and let Jake box.

The only real purpose of this fight, besides the money (after all, both have the opportunity to make big bucks elsewhere), is to show the world that Jake isn't so weak.
And a good few rounds where he doesn't let himself get hurt, perhaps even surviving to the final rounds, is something I'm thinking about.
Joshua will explain himself, and Jake will still be a hero facing someone like that in the ring.

In a 100% realistic fight, I wouldn't expect anything less than Jake being crushed and destroyed by the third round. Not the first. The kid is tough, but that's not even the point. If his goal is to survive, Joshua won't chase him around the ring to kill him; it's quite dangerous for the chaser himself.

I think that with an extremely timid attitude in the first or second round, someone like that could survive against AJ.

Overall, the fight sucked. Joshua kept everyone waiting for a long time, and now he's participating in this circus. I'd be much more satisfied if Paul got hit even by people like Mairis Briedis. A loss to AJ would be easy to explain. It would be trivial. It wouldn't provide any new answers.

If Paul wins... I'm quitting watching this sport because it will turn out to be worthless. If an average amateur can beat up a person at this level, it means that training in boxing, watching it, etc., is pointless or it is simply a perfidious setup and anything can be bought.

 

Yep the only way Jake wins is if Logan comes out and distracts the referee and John Cena comes in and hits AJ with the Attitude Adjustment.
