    if he isnt flat out pulling out now, hes setting the stage to do it later.

    I wonder what the excuse would be? Something related to AJ not being able to make the 245 limit he mandated? a PED accusation...

    I don't think he'll fake an injury because I think he does still want to fight, but just a much much easier guy for him.

    his best bet would be to just own up. he was made to see that a genuine match against aj, for a guy pauls size and his level, is asking for permanent damage. theres got to be legit boxing people in his circle that have told him the truth.
    then again, the world doesnt act rational anymore. its a culture of crashing out.

    That would probably be the only way he can get out of this with some respect, admit that he knows that he's fully over his head. There was a recent video of Jake with a black eye and looking a bit shook up after sparring Okolie. Maybe he had a come to Jesus moment after that.

    Did he get a reality check while sparring these big boys?

    This farce was never happening or it would be staged. Doesn't make any sense for Paul.

    He's a punk I agree with your earlier post that he will make accusations toward AJ. The only other thing I could see him doing is blaming the commission saying they will not sanction the fight. You are right he looked shook up after sparring some legit guys who in all likelihood were going easy on him but still managed to hurt him and shake him up. We all saw this coming :lol:

    If Jake Paul admits he's a CW who has no businesss fighting AJ and he made this fight while under the influence all the power to him. Hes him and thats probably not going to happen but it'd be a refreshing change to see him just be honest.

    Somewhere in this story Paul saw what AJ did to Ngannou and thought "I can do better". I don't know how that happened but hes probably backing up and realizing what hes getting himself into here.

    Why would he announce that he will pull out in a future date? If he were to pull out, he would announce it right now, he wouldn't wait for Tuesday.

    I think he will announce that he will fight Usyk or Fury after AJ.

    The fight will happen as it's better to get chinned and get some respect in the process then pull out and get zero respect.

    Jake Joseph Paul is playing chess beyond our 3 + 1 spacetime and you numpties are playing draughts.

    I think its more likely Jake is pulling out. I dont remember AJ cancelling a fight his whole career. Hes certainly not cancelling a Jake Paul fight for a £50,000,000 payday.
