    I'm probably in the minority here, and will probably be wrong, but I have a feeling Jr. might pull it off.

    It would honestly ruin Paul's career and cost him future millions if that happened.

    Seems too good to be true.

    For sure, but I feel like this could possibly be a cherry pick gone wrong. It all depends on Chavez' mental and physical shape imo. I could be wrong here, but I think this is the youngest (ironically) and biggest "real" boxer he's fought thus far. I'm curious to see if he actually tries or will quit like he's known to. I guess we'll know tomorrow.

    I thought this as well but only because Jake Paul really does suck. Chavez is obviously more skilled than the washed MMA guys Paul usually fights. If Chavez can stick to the basics and go to the body he could out box Paul it will all depend on his mind set and what sort of shape he is in. I think we will know after the first round.

    This is basically how I see it too. I think Paul is getting better, but man, all the dudes he's been fighting have been tiny and way over the hill. His close fight with Tommy Fury showed he's pretty limited when he fights someone young and his size, and also that he doesn't have much of a gas tank.
    You're right, though. All Chavez has to do is keep it basic and out last him, and he should be able to pull it off.

    Yep I mean Tommy Fury is less skilled than Chavez and he just used the basics to beat Paul pretty much with straight punches but he also had youth on his side which is the main advantage Paul has here along with natural size. If Chavez is fit and comes to win he could really get to Paul late in the fight.
