Jacob Joseph Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Carrasco

Paul - Chavez Jr. is not a match that interests me but the undercard is interesting. Zurdo Ramirez is favored over Dorticos, but if the Cuban is in shape the Mexican will have to fight very hard for the victory. Then I'm happy to see Farmer again, he offered 2 excellent performances against Zepeda. Instead of Holly Holm's return to the ring after 10 years I would have gladly done without.

 

Love to see Opetaia hand Jake's arse to him.

 

The cope is hard. Chavez taking this seriously or not is losing. You think he won’t do everything in his power to not get humiliated by a YouTuber? Problem is Chavez is slow af and doesn’t hit particularly that hard. He won his fights being massively oversized and JP is bigger than him and hits harder. JP wins this easy.

 

I would make a similar argument, but the problem with Chavez is that he recently got out of rehab - again. I genuinely doubt that he will be mentally able to push himself like he did during his championship days.

 

Any version of JCC loses due to the size difference. Jake isn’t some random big chump he’s skilled.

 

Yea, um... there is a very clear ceiling to said skills.

I still can’t fathom the fact that Chavez Jr. was once a legit MW contender who beat Andy Lee and dropped Maravilla. The very fact he was able to get down to 160 itself is remarkable, let alone that he was able to beat capable fighters at MW. Sergio Martinez is still fighting too, maybe they could run it back if Chavez Jr. beats Paul. I don’t think he will mind you, he’s been shot for the better part of a decade and Paul is about club level but at least is motivated to win and is in his prime. Paul will probably take a tepid decision since Chavez Jr. can take a hit and Paul is too dense to have a good engine and wastes loads of energy with unnecessary movement and leaping in with punches. Still a nonsense fight though.

 

Paul is not skilled. If he was he wouldn’t be fighting retired MMA fighters or retired boxers. Now he is pulling up an undersized semi retired boxer that has had , and recent , mental and substance problem.

 

Who cares?

 

Jake was awful vs Fury who wa a complete novice with no amateur experience and no power.

 

Tommy Fury is a fast twitchy fighter. He may have no power but his speed is what gave Jake fits. JCC is not fast.
