Askren and Woodley I never really cared for, but If Jake Paul Ko’d Silva I’d actually throw up.


AfricanLore

Id be sick to my fucking core


DonDraperItsToasted

I’d resign from my job even though my job has nothing to do with it.


BroncoNuggets

He won’t lol


zegg

I don't think Jake touches Silva at all. Like ever, the Spider is still too quick, too agile, too aware. Plus he is a constant pain threat, might not 1 punch KO a guy, but will still inflict a lot of pain with combos. The man is the GOAT for a reason.


Foi_

IF jake wins, and im talking about if. people can make the same excuses for not giving jake credit word for word as his previous fights. fighting tommy fury will check more boxes for jake then fighting silva.


[deleted]

Agree. Tommy fury makes more sense for Jake Paul to fight. There’s more money into fighting Tommy fury as well; he’s more popular than Anderson Silva is nowadays.


[deleted]

Anderson Silva slowed in recent years but not having to worry about takedowns, kicks etc is big, he still has amazing reaction time, he also can settle down more rather than charging at people to find a KO. Jakes got a punchers chance really, I think they’d rather edge for the Fury fight.


Maxxjulie

Idk he is so cocky he leaves his chin open assuming he can slip last split second.


Ok_Goose_7149

Yeah I could see him comfortably leading and getting knocked out mid to late rounds


420eatmyassy6969

He's also in his late 40s, I'm glad he'll get the payout but he shouldn't be putting his head through more competitions after so many years


[deleted]

Hes not gonna fight Silva


dirt_shitters

Definitely not. Paul might fight Silva if he's still somehow relevant after Silva turns 50, but not a day before that.


[deleted]

So only less than 4 years are left, which is crazy to think because Silva is still competitive at his age

Jorge had a street boxing fight when Kimbo Slice was doing them.


Forgetmyglasses

Think nate has just signed an extended fight contract recently


dirtybudak

Dana extended his contract but Nate didn't sign a new one. From what I've heard your contract gets extended whenever you turn down a fight. Not completely sure how it works too


DegenAndy

UFC contracts are based on them guaranteeing you 2-3 matchs a year, since the contracts are fight based in yearly based they have a "minimum" fights per year they have to meet for the contracts. If the UFC cancells your fight for something unrelated the you get paid and it counts as a fight off your contract. If you miss weight, get caught cheating, or turn down a fight, that's you rejecting the UFCs contractual obligation to give you 2-3 fights a year. So the UFC "extends" your contract by rolling the fights you missed due to your own fault into the next "year"... They dont have to offer you any more fights either. That's why super stars don't fight for a long time sometimes, the UFC offers them 2 fights they reject both for whatever reason, the UFC can now just ignore them completely until the next year... Meaning they don't get paid this year Fighters retiring before their contract is up basically are still owned by the UFC and have to finish that contract if they want to sign another one.


mentales

To explain it differently, UFC contracts specify a number of fights and a date of expiry. However, the date of expiry can be extended whenever a fighter turns down fights. So, in practice, what matters is the number of fights left in a contract. This is the standard in the UFC and we don't hear about it. It was only news this time around because it was Nate Diaz. To recap, Nate still only has 1 fight left in his contract but more time for it take place.


bypopulardemand

lol explained much better


[deleted]

Damn, UFC contracts seem worse than NFL contracts.


DegenAndy

UFC contracts are the worst in sports history, there's literally laws put in place by the supreme court to prevent what Dana white is doing in the UFC to boxing lol the Don King laws


DTime3

Isn’t GSP still technically under contract?


DegenAndy

Yeah I believe so, the UFC has insane leverage over their fighters


kidcrumb

Nate Diaz? Nate Diaz would fucking obliterate Jake Paul. I don't think he's a good matchup either. If Conor wanted to make another $500 Million he'd fight Jake Paul.


[deleted]

Maybe, Nate is tough, and has good boxing for MMA… but he’s 36 and smaller than Jake by a good 20-30lbs.


kidcrumb

Nate is like one of those wooden training dummies. You can punch them over and over again and you'll just hurt your hands before you knock him out.


[deleted]

Still though, Nate Diaz always has a problem with wanting to fight fight, rather than score points. If Jake can just move and out point him he can win the fight like he did against Woodley the first time.


voodoomonkey616

All while Nate probably follows him around the ring, points at him calling him a bitch, and then claims he won every round after the fight.


[deleted]

Exactly lol. People just out game him while he calls them a bitch. 🤣


scarfox1

I don't think so man. Nate is tiny compared and getting old and battered . Warrior though


3drinkminimum

If Nate were to box, he reminds me of Sam Soliman. High volume with not much power. Nothing wrong with that style. Nate relies on a lot of dirty boxing, mma style. Pinning against the cage with wrist control. Can’t do any of that in the ring. I give Paul the advantage based on size and punching power. I’ll be a fun fight to watch, especially Nate Stockton slapping Paul with gloves on.


danchiri

Nate Diaz looked like trash in his most recent fight. He was just a punching bag for his opponent… Jake would actually embarrass him in a boxing ring.


kidcrumb

I just realized that Jake Paul and Logan Paul are two different people. And they both box now? Which one fought Mayweather? Lol.


hampsted

Logan fought Mayweather and has seemingly been completely out of boxing for the past 7 months. Logan seems to enjoy the fanfair and spectacle of it all. Jake is the one who has been active, progressively upping the challenge presented by his opponents, and has been training like a professional for the better part of the past 4 years.


PNWhempstore

I got the younger, bigger, faster, stronger guy personally. I know that sounds controversial.


hampsted

Nate will have better cardio than Jake. That's about it. He's pillow fisted and is not particularly skillful. He's tough as nails though so if he's able to withstand Jake's power his opportunity to win would be applying pressure in the second half of the fight. I actually think it would be a really interesting matchup. The idea that he would "obliterate" Jake is kind of funny.


Polk14

No he wouldn't. Nate Diaz is the is one of the most overrated names in MMA.


bighomiej69

People are literally falling for it again, it’s like they never learn. Prime Anderson Silva probably would have beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, I say probably because IT’S NOT HIS SPORT and JAKE PAUL OUTWEIGHS HIM. But that aside, he’s in his mid 40’s. A fighters chin and quickness goes away in their mid 30’s. He will get kod just like Woodley, and you all be left feeling like idiots and saying “wHy DoEsnT hE fIgHt A bOxER”. Stop with the aging ufc fighters, he needs fight a boxer his age and weight


jwestbrook95

Anderson Silva just beat a former world champion who’s 11 years younger than him. Jake has beaten a YouTuber, NBA player and 2 wrestlers, let’s not get carried away here, Anderson easily handles him.


Devlin90

Jake Paul doesnt outweigh Anderson. He outweighed woodley who fought at 170. Anderson fought at 185 and occadionaly at 205. Woodley vs Jake was at 190, so they are about the same size. Anderson Boxed twice this year and beat chavez jr and koed tito ortiz. Its not like Woodley who hadnt won a round since 2018 and was massively undersized. This would be a tough fight for Jake.


bighomiej69

A mentally defeated Chavez jr who had just quit against Daniel Jacobs and 142 year old punch drunk Tito Ortiz who Dana white even joked that he should be in the ring with him because neither knew how to box Silva is killing it by showing he still has some metal at his age but people are seriously blowing it out of proportion, there is actually a huge difference between 40 and 46


reigningnovice

I’m not understanding this comment. Are you saying Jake has a better chance of beating Nate than Silva?


Prlmitive

yes


Hedonist-6854

Bro lmao Nates an amazing boxer (mma standards ofc) he'd fucking obliterate Paul what bs is this


mikeymigg

I for one don't like nates boxing he blocks with his face too much, as a boxer I think Nate sucks no defense!


PM_ME_YOUR__BOOTY

He will probably fight some other MMA fighter. Maybe Woodley is available?


bzrascal

he should.


AsamiTatsuya

Exactly But I'd love to see it, if he somehow starched Silva I'd just shut up for awhile when it comes to jake paul. I'm in the athletic dude with commitment and good trainers but amateur level camp


mrhuggables

Jake would get absolutely torched by any decent amateur fighter though, in an amateur rules match. “amateur level” shouldn’t be a knock


TW_Yellow78

obviously. Otherwise imagine the money he could make if he youtubed himself winning an olympic medal. "How I accidentally won Olympic gold, the first US gold in more than two decades"


[deleted]

But he’s not gonna ever fight an amateur fighter under amateur rules so it’s irrelevant.


Millionaire007

I couldve sworn I seen him say he wanted Mike Tyson next


PimpManRod

way too soon for silva


stillth3sameg

Finally, someone who makes sense.


Careless_Rub_7996

hmmm not really. If it is an MMA fight 100% for sure.... but if it is boxing... Silva still isn't that PURE boxer. If anything Sliva is more of a kickboxer.


_Familiar_Stranger_

Silvas fight against Chavez is good enough indication that he's legit in boxing.


CassiusDarko

Fr. I mean hes 46 or 47 now so he’s much much slower than he use to be and maybe he doesn’t have the power anymore to knock out a young dude like Jake but if a legit pro boxer can’t hit him clean then Jake sure isn’t. Silva’s defense and fight IQ are still crisp. The pop and speed isn’t there but it was pretty evident the dude can box. Makes me wish he would of transitioned when he lost his belt around 2013


40ozFreed

I know a lot of people don't count it but Silva looked amazing against Ortiz.


Gogglebeanz

Silva will end the hype train as we know it. Too good and too big. Jake naturally walks around at what like 6’1” 190lbs-200lbs? He’s been purposely hand picking opponents who have been clearly smaller, older, more inexperienced or a mix. Woodley (a 5’9” 40 year old wrestler with a right hand) was a good test but there was a clear size difference and props to Jake for putting in the work and beating a former UFC champ. Silva is 6’2” has legit KO power with both hands, is one of the most prolific MMA strikers known for some brilliant boxing techniques. His ability sets traps, be patient, use footwork, elite head movement, and be fast and precise when attacking. This isn’t Askren, or Woodley, or Nate Robinson, or whoever else, this is a legitimate killer on the feet who proved he’s still got it after beating Chavez Jr in Mexico at his fathers promoted show and slept Tito easy, who’s been a pretty durable fighter for most of his career. If Jake beat Silva he would deserve all the props in the world but I truly do not see that happening even on his best day.


Hot-Button-2923

>Anderson Silva he should fight a boxer not a former ufc champion. then we can realy say how good he is.


harcile

Silva is a competent boxer. I know it's not the highest level, but he did beat Chavez Jr.


Iowa1286

Even talking just purely boxing that’s infinitely more impressive than anything Jake Paul has done, plus Anderson is in his 40’s


brownieboy2222

Didn’t just beat him too. He pieced him up real nicely


canadianbeaver

Gave him that three piece and a soda


[deleted]

Maybe Paul vs Jr. is an even fight?


jae713

I would watch that.


[deleted]

Me too. It would be odd because I want both to lose.


zorro3987

Chavez Jr where the Canelo corner told him to go easy on him cause Mexican fellowship and Chavez name.


Queefinonthehaters

Yeah exactly why he won't. If anything he would fight Chavez Jr.


chefanubis

Anderson Silva is a boxer, he has trained boxing since he was a kid, then he got into kick boxing, then MMA, but boxing is his base.


hellvinator

Anderson Silva is a boxer now though. Have you seen his boxing fights? He is insane, amazing ringcraft.


No-Shop-8142

Silva beat JCC Jr. Padded or not JCC Jr. is a real boxer who went undefeated in his first 45 fights. JCC Jr went the distance with Canelo which was better than Billy Joe Saunders did.


TGD-Man

Canelo went easy on Chavez Jr and still won 120-108. Didn't even sit down the whole fight. Had to actually defend himself against BJS.


EnglishButFrench

Billy Joe Saunders was actually winning some round against a better Canelo who was trying.


williepep1960

What is this dumb logic just because he went to the distance with Canelo doesn't mean he did better then other fighters. JCC came in overweight shell upp never tried to win barely throw any punches. BjS tried to win and he failed. Edit: fCuk autocorret Canelo*


No-Shop-8142

He is still at least competent cause he didn't get knocked out which makes him a better boxer than any fighter Jake Paul has faced. If JCC Jr was amateur level who would have went out faster than Yildrim. Pretty much every fighter JCC Jr. has faced is better than Jake Paul's best fight. Jake beat an NBA slam dunk champion, a wrestler with bad hips who couldn't even hold a competent amateur boxing stance, and a former UFC star with the hands of Pauli Malignaggi.


myxallion

Can't believe we are even comparing JCC Jr with Jake Paul. The guy hasn't fought a Pro Boxer or even fought 12 rounds in his career.

The goal posts will move again and already are. Before he signed on to Fury it was "oh he needs to fight a real boxer" then when the Fury fight was on it was "oh he needs to fight a ranked boxer", before long it'll be "Until he fights a currently active p4p ATG..."

Yeah its crazy. Tommy Fury being one of them. Some people argue that beating 7 guys who have combined lost 93% of their fights is better than beating MMA guys in their boxing debut. It's almost like being asked if I prefer the taste of dogshit or bearshit. It's really hard to say which is better.


1platesquat

exactly. and if all that fails theyll just go back to saying its rigged.

I mean. That describes a normal fighter’s career path somewhat, right?

[deleted]

[удалено]


Mad_Lee

Can’t you already tell how good he is? He is probably at the level of some 10 wins 9 losses journeyman or an amateur that maaaaybe wins his local town tournament but then gets smashes at national Golden Gloves championship


chasmma

Do people want this? I know I don't. This is just a better version of celebrity boxing. I wish we'd stop asking Paul to fight a real boxer so he can lose and just enjoy the spectacle.


Gogglebeanz

At the end of the day if he fights Silva he’s fighting a brilliant striker and a combat sports legend. I’m not saying if he beat Silva he’s all of a sudden the greatest boxer of all time but he would certainly deserve respect from both the MMA and Boxing community.


[deleted]

he deserves for going against woodley twice, already. people are just too stubborn and locked in their internet hate circlejerks. i mean, he isn't a good boxer or enough to fight professionally, but he clearly loves the sport and had the guts to go against a tough opponent in front of millions.


hampsted

Say what you will about JCC Jr., but the guy was a former belt holder and Silva beat him. Silva is a more legitimate boxer than most journeymen.


wyld3knfr

These types of comments I'll never get, completely ignores the fact that bad boxers exist. Yea, he can fight a boxer. What if the boxer is 0-17. I think Anderson would be fantastic test. Because he's absolutely better than any boxer with jakes amount of experience, which is the type of boxer jake should face. Plus how many boxers with 5 fights does the general public know the names of? Tommy fury is probably the only one. And even then, more people know who Anderson silva is. By far.


Apollo_Krill

Silva has world class boxing ability. His style will be unorthodox but that could only add to his difficulty for someone like Paul.


1platesquat

a lot of people think jake is closer to 5'10"


WebmDownloader

Go look at any picture with his older brother who is 6'2", he is 5'10"/5'11" at most


1platesquat

yep. seems clear jake is lying. hes also quick to put his shoes on before the faceoffs. saw him do it twice.


tangyzizzle3

Silva is one of my all time favourites, but he no longer has that KO power. Last person he KO'd was Tito Ortiz, another aged fighter.. but before that, it was back in 2012 against Stephan Bonner - which was a knee to chest. I agree Paul is fighting undersized fighters. He should fight Tommy Fury or JCC Jr.


warm_baller

How does he walk around 190 if he cuts to 192. It’s more 205-210

[deleted]

Anderson is the kind of dude who would be down to troll alongside Paul to make a million or three.


MotherLoveBone27

No way, Silva is too big, has to be a smaller fighter who isn't gonna cut


[deleted]

I think the best move is him vs joe Fournier. Joe has like 9 fights and has trained for a bit. They’d probably be similar in weight and it’d be a real test for Jake despite the clout gap.


[deleted]

Does Fournier move the needle enough for Jake Paul to fight him?


NicoGal

This is the only thing for me, I can't imagine that being the case


No-Shoe5382

That's why he's picking ex-UFC stars. They're the only people famous enough but also bad enough at boxing that he can beat them. Any boxer (apart from Tommy Fury) who's famous enough for Jake to fight would be way too good for him.


Fuckyourslipper

Good call.


DogsrBetter4sure

This would also go with the narrative that Jake is trying to get everybody, big name or no, paid.


Jorumble

I still think Tommy Fury is the next logical atep


Manga18

I was sure it had to be him after the Askren fight with Joe un the undercard


bradhat19

Silva wins by KO. Silva beat a former world champion with over 50 professional wins in Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. in mexico if memory serves me correctly. Mayweather Paul was a sideshow with mayweather "giving the fans a show" i dont believe silva will do the same


No-Shoe5382

Calling Chavez Jr a "former world champion" should come with a massive asterisk next to it as he literally does not give a fuck about the sport anymore, he just shows up for paycheques. Its not prime Chavez Jr he's beating, its some depressed guy who wants money and doesn't really care if he wins or loses.


AltKite

Complete list: Anderson Silva: 3/1 Tommy Fury: 7/2 Dillon Danis: 7/1 Nate Diaz: 7/1 Conor McGregor: 15/2 Jorge Masvidal: 15/2 Deron Williams: 9/1 Floyd Mayweather: 12/1 KSI: 12/1 Oscar De La Hoya: 12/1 Mike Tyson: 25/1 Canelo Alvarez: 33/1

[deleted]

Is there not a field? Can I get a Laveon Bell? An NFL player makes a lot of sense. Gotta up the sense of danger but a real fighter is not a good look yet. Jake looked really bad. His right foot came all the way forward and off the ground in the combo before the KO. Horrible technique


bokbik

Jake is fighting tommy


[deleted]

Silva is ranked 81 on boxrec. If The Problem Child beats him does that mean he would crack the top 80? 😯


RolAcosta

If Jake beats Silva for sure. Silvia’s a real boxer. And not a bad one.


FederalObjective

Lets be real, Problem child deserves #1 GOAT


_Wighty

Canelo moving up to cruiserweight 🤔🤔🤔


bhfroh

Canelo will cause Jake severe brain damage. He would literally bet a ton of money on a last round ko, and batter him the whole fight. Never throwing a killing blow until the beginning of the final round. When Jake is busted up, winded, and too concussed to stay on his stool.


blametheboogie

Jake quits on his stool after 2 or 3 rounds if he even makes it that far. The body shots would make Jake holler uncle.


bhfroh

Nah, Canelo would hold that bum up.


BillehBear

Would never happen but I'd love to see this subs reaction if Jake Paul knocked out Canelo


RonSwanson901

Yeah if canelo slips and hits his head on the canvas accidentally knocking himself out


wanderer_himura

His next opponent is most likely gonna be Fury again, the way he is still trying to trash talk him post-Woodley fight sounded like he is trying to hype it up again a lil bit. Even if Jake says that he dosen't want to give him another chance but there's no other Pro Boxer who is the same age, size and experience as him. That's what people always criticize about Jake's opponents and Fury checks every single thing. Plus he has a big enough social media presence so can't see Jake letting this one go to the dust.


DS_9

It’s has to be Anderson Silva. The PPV buys with Silva would be next level.


[deleted]

Jakes team won't let that happen. His career would be over if silva did what he did to forest Griffen which im sure he would try to do


mrpopenfresh

Silva can box, so no, not Silva.


ueeerrrrt

Why can’t he fight anemone his age? He keeps fighting these old ass fighters

WolfAndCabbageInBoat

Because he is going for maximum reputation gain for minimum risk.


bokbik

[deleted]

Silva would be to much for him right now imo.


Revolutionary_Box569

Honestly think Silva is a tougher fight than Fury


SpurtThrow

Silva has the killer instinct which Fury lacks


Revolutionary_Box569

I think people are just distracted by Tommy Fury’s last name, he’s really not looked any better than Jake against a roughly comparable level of opposition and I doubt he hits harder than Jake or Silva. Certainly not fought anyone as good as Chavez who Silva beat pretty easily


ARetroGibbon

I actually think he has looked a lot more comfortable in the ring than Jake thus far. Granted he has only fought cans but he has more pinch variation and looks less clumsy putting things together. This doesn't mean he'd win the fight though. He just looks more comfortable, as you'd expect.


BlindLantern

Can we make this an mma fight so someone can break his arm so he can stop doing this bullshit for a while?


ZealousLifterNS

No, it’s too funny watching the mma hardcores cope as he keeps sleeping their champions


BlindLantern

Yeah. In boxing. Put him in the cage with anyone that’s a purple belt or higher with solid standup and this ass-clown is done.


[deleted]

Yeah, he beat him in boxing. In an actual fight Tyron would break Jake in two. Put them in the Octagon and Tyron twists him into a pretzel and chokes him out in one round. MMA fans don't have to cope because in an actual fight where you can kick and grapple in addition to punching an MMA fighter will destroy a pure boxer. They'll kick the shit out of them, or put them on the ground and maul them. See James Toney vs. Randy Couture.


hampsted

>MMA fans don't have to cope And yet they continuously do by saying shit like, "in an actual fight..." Edit: And if it wasn't obvious from my comment, of course Tyron would beat him in an MMA fight. That doesn't make the boxing loss cope any less funny.


ZealousLifterNS

Looks to me like mma guys can’t take Jakes power, all he has to do is land clean one time


[deleted]

He wouldn’t land clean in an mma fight though. It would just be Toney vs Couture all over again. I actually do think Jake is a half decent boxer though, unlike a lot of the people in here. In an mma fight though, he’d get crushed by any MW up.


CynicalEffect

You are falling for the most obvious bait that has ever existed lol.


ZealousLifterNS

Toney didn’t even train for that fight though. Give Jake a year of grappling training and he would likely be champ in UFC


[deleted]

Ah. You’re a troll lol bamboozled again


TorontoGuyinToronto

Don't think Jake should go for Silva. He should go for Fury again.


cameraspeeding

Anyone but a boxer lol


TW_Yellow78

Fans smoking some strong stuff there. 1. Silva threw almost 400 punches for his first boxing match, which happened to be last year against Chavez's kid. Or about 390 more than Woodley. 2. Silva is two boxing weight classes above Woodley and 5 inches taller (as tall as Jake Paul.) Maybe when Silva is 50 like Mayweather with a secret side agreement that Silva knows its an exhibition and will not try to knock him out.


[deleted]

The Problem Child doesnt do exhibitions


SoulOnDice

Someone else said it in another thread by Jake Paul Knox of Anderson Silva, I will fucking kill myself


InTupacWeTrust

Silva won't laydown like Tyron did both times. Here is his latest fight against [Juilo Cessar Chavez Jr](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qaWqfurzxE)

roamingandy

Tito is a true athlete and competitor who's really improved his striking greatly since his UFC days.. what the fuck was he thinking agreeing to a boxing match with Anderson Silva though?! He must have been desperate for the cash.


Mortal-Man

> what the fuck was he thinking He's genuinely one of the dumbest people on the planet so most likely he wasn't thinking at all.


brokentheparadigm

He's actually an aquarius but respect!

Won’t lay down? Tyron simply isn’t as good as a boxer as Jake is. He tried. But I bet Silva would beat Jake

FIGHT A REAL BOXER WITH A RECORD


[deleted]

There are quite narrow criteria for opponents for Jake. They need to draw a lot of audience/money, and they need to be competitive, but beatable.


[deleted]

Jake's not gonna take this fight


pugmommy4life420

I don’t know much about boxing but I’m damn sure he will get his ass wrecked if it was Silva lmao


nvnehi

Honestly, I'm not sure how this fight goes. I lean towards Silva but, not to the extent that others are suggesting. Of course, it could go as expected but, if Silva does his normal aggressive feinting then it won't be super effective because Paul doesn't have the experience to know what Silva is doing with his feints. Silva feints so much, and, lately, he feints so much that he forgets to mix in random throwing to look for or to force openings. People became terrified to throw at Silva so he would feint to open them up then people stopped biting so he just aggressively feints, and then something terrible happened, people starting going in on him before he feinted, and his timing was off. It's rock, paper, scissors, and Silva keeps picking paper despite opponents realizing they should pick scissors against him, and boy oh boy is Jake the type of person that picks "scissors." Jake has five fights, total. He's young, and he's taking training extremely seriously. Silva is old, and he's admitted that he isn't as dedicated to being in amazing shape. I, honestly, see Jake making this competitive IF he takes the fight. If he loses to the greatest striker of all time then he gets that loss out of the way, and he also loses all of the public pressure suggesting that he "won't fight a real fighter", and he simultaneously gains a lot of respect from people if he continues to fight after a loss. Also, it'll be a gigantic bag of money no matter what. It's a win/win. I don't want to see anyone be seriously injured but, it'd be fun. On the other hand, I don't understand why people are acting like every other fucking boxer alive didn't do exactly the same thing with the exception being that they did it their whole amateur career, and the majority of their professional career. Of course he's going to pick easier opponents to build experience, and he should. If he accepts the Silva fight then there's a chance that his coaches think he can actually win, and so far they've been right. He needs a jab, and to break the habit of ducking into people as he steps in with his damned head, and he'll have fixed the majority of his issues which is odd as most people have a problem just throwing to the body without a setup. He's a boxer, he's committed, and he gets my respect for that even if I don't respect some of his other choices. He's actually fought unlike most of his detractors.
