    Lets be honest the professional fighters were the ones disrespecting the sport which gave way for these circus shows.. When fighters were ducking, taking safe fights, and marinating matchups that was disrespecting the sports..

    MM has put her foot down. There’s only one breadwinner allowed in the house.

    I'm picking Rahman Jr to win by KO.

    If....IF....they don't weight drain Rahman down to 200 then this is a decent bout for a guy's 5th fight.
    A genuine boxer this time for Paul.

    Rahman Sr appears in this too. Jake trying to be very brash and arrogant. Rahman Jr also appeared very confident here and seemed to get the better of the verbal sparring.

    Personally I feel Rahman Jr seems to be the more confident of two and also doesn't seem too phased about making 200lbs. He also mentioned there's a 10lbs rehydration clause.

    Jake Paul has tried to stack the deck in his favour, calling this fight in on one month's notice, at 200lbs and has probably took confidence from a few performances in Rahman's career where he's seemed to struggle against lesser names. I personally think that Rahman Jr will get the win here though. I just think he is a different level to anyone Jake Paul has fought.

    Realistically Jake Paul scraped a win vs. Woodley in the first fight and was losing until he pulled a KO out the bag in the rematch. I couldn't see Woodley being competitive with Rahman Jr in any way shape or form in a 200lbs boxing match.

    The weigh in weight is 200lbs and Rahman has to weigh no more than 215lbs the morning of the fight, and can theoretically weigh what he wants in the ring.

    This sounds...reasonable. He weighed 215lbs 2 fights ago and has weighed as low as 211lbs

    I think that Rahman will struggle with the weight especially with the rehydration clause. I am expecting the fight to be a sparring session for a few rounds before a compromised Rahman is KO'd.

    Why not just fight a cruiserweight who can come into the ring healthy instead of draining rahmans son for the fight. Oh right because the more bull**** fights there are the better

    Latest rumour on social media is that Rahman is now not happy with the deal and is going to pull out.

    Nah that was before the most recent press conference. It’s happening and Jakey boy is taking his L. I’m glad that absolute bum Tommy, dropped out - Paul would have beaten that bum. Rahman won’t have any problems taking Jake’s best punch.

    I think Jake Paul has bitten off more than he can chew. It's a bit like when Ricky Hatton fought Senchenko he wasn't ready for a fight like that but he needed a big bill to get back on Sky because he was promoting fighters at the time, it get all them on a big bill.

    Jake Paul is promoting this event and would have lost fortunes if it fell through.

    Look at Rahman Jr's record Ben Askren would lose to every one on it even in his prime, Woodley would have lost to most of them in his prime and both of these were far removed from their primes.

    Even if Rahman Jr is compromised as long as he's not dead on the scales he should be taking this.

    Jake was on CBS sports radio the other talking about how he can run a 4.4 40. Not sure if that is true or not, but if so it does show he has some impressive athleticism. Rahman should win, but Jake may be a bit better than most people (myself included) were giving him credit for.

    If Rahman isn’t drained, he will box his ears off.

    Rahman got KO’d because he’s an idiot. His hands were down constantly. Not sure what he was thinking.

    Jake Paul has poor cardio and is low volume looking for the home run shot. He won’t be able to put on a pace to tire Rahman out like Morrison’s son did.

    Rahman will jab and box his way to a decision.
    8 round fight.
