Against someone equally large and lumbering it’s ok as his right hand will see him through, but is it not true that Paul is somewhat of a smaller, faster target, and potentially then harder to hit? I dunno, I think people are giving their predictions for a prime AJ vs a novice Paul and I don’t think either of those things are true, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is competitive.

He's coming off his worst ever performance and is obviously mentally not the strongest. The fact the original plan was Cassius Chaney says a lot.

I'm imagining a replica of the BJS-Canelo fight, but condensed into one round

So Jake's gonna quit in the corner like BJS did?

Do you think I can download thr event afterwards on Netflix?

I have a long flight on Saturday and this would be perfect viewing to kill some hours

Need to avoid the result somehow

Bold take I mean, I think the whole boxing world will be DUMBFOUNDED if this was competitive, and on the level… I mean what a surreal sight that would be…Jake Paul looks tiny. Shakur Stevenson did say that jake is much better than people think, he’s got the right trainers, the right sparring, the right everything …obviously a novice, but stranger things have happened, I guess …


Even though he’s actually huge and a fighter, technically, Francis left us all dumbfounded by being competitive with Tyson Fury

Jake Paul by KO round 1: 200-1
DRAW 35-1

Joshua is 15/4 for a 1st round stoppage. If this was a genuine fight that has to be free money. Look what AJ did to Ngannou. If he wanted to he could stop Jake Paul in under a minute surely

Ngannou came to fight. I don't think anyone is expecting Paul to try and go toe to toe with him. He's going to be on his bike

But still. It's Jake Paul. Joshua is a monster puncher, two time heavyweight champ. More than a round and this has to be dodgy

I'm so sad. to be missing it

Funny thing is we're all half hoping to see Joshua v Fury next year (I am) but AJ hasn't won a fight against a boxer in two years & Fury hasn't beaten a boxer in THREE years. Both of their last wins is Ngannou - who is NOT a boxer.

That's alright though, because that means Joshua and Fury are coming into the fight on pretty much equal ground.
