There is Anderson Silva (47 years old)
There is Jake paul 27 years old.

Anderson silva is one of the best fighters in ufc of a ll times along with jon jones, Demothry Jonson, gsp..
He has good boxing as well.  Finally paul someone who can box.


Anderosn silva is the better boxer
Jake paul has more strengh and youth advantage.



Both fighters know how to box. Jake paul ko some ufc fighters who don't box well like ben askren and tyron woodenly.
Anderson silva is the same weight class as jake paul (unlike his previous opponent who were weight class bellow)  That also help me to make my decision on the bet.



The odds now are close.

 -140 on Anderson silva (Bet 140$ to gain 100$)
+100 on jake paul (Bet 100$ to win $100)





The Floyd mayweather fight show us  that champion kick ass even on their old age. Floyd  now is 45 years old and beat some young tokyo guy with 22-3 records.


I go on Anderson Silva  The dude has good boxing and he will train and be in good condition for fight.
There is no reason Silva shouldn't beat him.

500$ on Silva.

I'd bet on Jake just because he's the one who initiated this fight and for his previous bouts against MMA legends, he won those with questionable performances from his enemies. Might be the same outcome in here if Silva is motivated only by money, which somewhat shows on some interviews that were done to him. +100 isn't also a bad odd to bet on considering that Jake Paul is also a capable boxer in his own regard. If skills and grit I'd say Silva, but again this is a Paul initiated fight and that should suggest you something.

They are not legends Ben askren sucks he  knows only wrestling and got away with it on the octagon with people who can't wrestle.

Tyron Woodley lost all of his recent fights on the ufc.


both Tyron and ben are were lower weight class than jake they are natural 77 kilos and jake is natural 84 killo. Is a big difference on this sport.
 
Anderson silva is the same weight class as Jake and elite level boxer. Former champion of UFC with 10 title defenses.

The question is can Anderson silva get KO or not . People say that Silva has underrated chin https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/qwxfs/anderson_silva_iron_chin/

About Jake paul  chin i think he has weak chin. But We don't have yet enough data to determine it for sure.
 we saw him almost getting knocked out by Tyron woodely. If he stay on the ring with Silva I believe Silva can land on him and ko him and finish him.

I go with Anderson Silva, because he's professional and have made several records. The professional game will come again once he takes regular practice. Anderson Silva is one among the greatest UFC fighters of all time. He's one among the UFC fighter with most knockout history. These things surely add value to his game.

First, is it official already?

Since this is boxing, well, I guess I have to go with Jake Paul here.

The odds still says that Anderson silva will likely win, however, since it's just an exhibition fight, I would bet on the undefeated and the most popular in this sport.

Yes, the fight will happen on October 29.

Me too,

I bet Paul doesn't mean he's better boxer than Silva, but he's very good making money in this industry and of course he must not lose to make the hype still crowd. I believe Silva is agree to lose and taking a good amount share, Silva has a chance to beat Paul but this match is already fixed.

Based on boxrec, this is a professional fight though I understand most people will think it's an exhibition fight.

I think the odd wasn't just right considering how Jake upset all of his past fights and 4 of them are in KO. But there's a rumor as well with him on Tommy Fury and that could be a possible as well, I think it's more of a best fight rather than fighting Silva because of age gap.

Floyd is different scenario to Silva because he was retired in perfect record while Silva retired with many serious injury in the past and in lose streak. Floyd is also fighting on his original sports while Silva is came from MMA and will fight in boxing so obviously Floyd is a different case and shouldn’t be compared to this match since he is still in perfect shape on Boxing.

Silva body is full of fatal injury so definitely he is not the same during his prime strength. I will bet on Jake Paul since he have the odds advantage while this match is even if we will not view Jake as a influencer  in my opinion.

This is a tough fight, is hard to choose one because both have a high KO power, lets remember that fight when Anderson Silva KO Tito Ortiz on the first round.

The age difference is big and i feel that give some advantage to Jake, but the experience that Silva has is another fact to consider, that's why is complex to choose one, But if i had to, i would go for Silva. In my opinion experience is what will give him the win on this one.

Jake Paul can fight and I think Jake Paul is picking an opponents that has a relevant history on being a champion or has a great title. We all know that Anderson Silva had a terrible leg injury that made his long winning streak over, I think his leg injury affected his whole MMA career given that he experience multiple losses after he lost his winning streak. This affects his agility in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Anderson Silva is a great boxer and he has experience to it. I think he still has the fire to beat Jake Paul on a boxing ring, So my bet is on Anderson Silva if ever this exhibition match happened.

I think Jake Paul hits harder than Anderson Silva. Jake is the bigger power puncher. While Anderson Silva has the better technique and boxing fundamentals. Its a power hitter (Paul) vs finesse and technique (Silva) match up.

In Jake Paul's last fight, he hit Tyron Woodley with a solid right hand to the body. It must have hurt as Woodley spent the rest of the fight trying to avoid being hit with the same punch to the midsection again. The ending sequence came with Jake Paul faking a punch to the body. Woodley dropped his hand to parry what he thought would be a body punch. Jake Paul shot his right hand to the head instead to score the knockout. It was a basic setup that Woodley fell for.

I don't think Anderson Silva will fall for that level of trap. Silva has options Woodley did not.

Anderson Silva is my pick here. Although at age 47 it is possible that Silva has slowed down enough for Jake Paul's youth to win outright.

I'd love to see Anderson Silva knock down Jake Paul but this is an obvious win for the Paul Brothers production. Anyway, it's just entertainment, I am not sure if they will give their all here. Even in the press conference that happened there's no spark at all. It's too peaceful. You will have the kind of idea that it will be scripted. Betting, I will be wise to bet for Paul even if it's not much profitable.
I wish this will not be a game that will bring down the reputation of Silva before he fully retires.

Anderson Silva has a lot of experience, in his old age he still keeps his body in shape. Jake Paul because he is young and experience far below Anderson, the odds are definitely favourite Anderson. But Jake Paul can't be underestimated he has strength too, anyway he started this fight, so I will choose Jake Paul. Although on the other side I want to see jake paul fall.

I think the odds are decent to give it a try for Jake Paul. Anderson Silva is a good fighter, but he already had his peak years ago and haven't been the same anymore since he was caught cheating through drugs usage to boost his performance. Age must be also a factor that can be strategically exploited by Jake Paul on the arena.
Sometimes it's not solely about who is the toughest and strongest, but the smartest one who is able to use the disadvantages of the opponent against him.

3 years ago, we  still saw Anderson take punches and bend to avoid a high kick during his fight with Adesanya. He still has a fast hand but his legs might just prevent him from moving away whenever Jake comes. Anderson struggle to balance after a spinning kick, he has to drop his hands to the ground.  He is not in good condition to fight a big young man like Jake.

There’s already an established thread for this fight in this forum section. I’ll link it below:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412630.0

For what it’s worth, I like that fighters are saying Silva is going to win this easily. I’m not so sure though. He’s getting up there in age. 20 years ago he would’ve killed Jake in 30 seconds. Father Time is cruel though and I think we’re going to find out next month just how cruel.

In my opinion and my personal assessment this is the toughest bet to decide who is worth betting on for fighting sports fans, from one side Jake Paul looks familiar in the boxing arena, he likes challenges that make his fans dizzy around the clock, what else is his name in this forum, has become a boxer like an artist.

But in my opinion boxing this time is a heavy boxing for Jake Paul to fight Silva next October, you can say Paul to try his luck wants to fight a former UFC and MMA legend, from my observations and visions I tend to be more convinced that if I place a bet in the future it will be on Silva's side this time, of course I have reasons for my belief that Silva can knock out paul.

I would love to see that, Paul being knockout by the legend. But I don't think that Anderson Silva has the power though. So my vote goes to Jake Paul winning this fight in the scorecard and hopefully there is no setup or the fight not being rigged. Silva won against a boxer the last time, so this might be a good fight and the fight going into the judges again.

Jake Paul has too much respect for Anderson Silva that there are not spark or trash talking in the press conference. And easy money for both, as fans will be interested on how this fight will end.

Issues come up like this could be an exhibition fight because Jake is a fan of Anderson Silva and you don't wanna disrespect the idolized celeb but so far Logan vs Mayweather does look like a real fight. Nothing is wrong if this is an exhibition fight, I'm sure they consider letting people know is an exhibition but they are not saying yet.

They already announce and set a day. It would be a shame for Jake to once again postponed the fight.  It possible but if not, its def Jake winning.

I don't know if this is gonna be scripted not in this fight but if the fight is in equal no favor then Silva has the advantage for my opinion because as a legend he plays very well good punches and counter punch he already master and based on their performance but in this fight ill also bet for make Paul which is in practical life he will win for sure. And also the awaited fight is almost come for sure both fighters prepared it well.

I go with Anderson Silva on this one.  I wanted him to give Jake Paul the taste of his first defeat.

There is a possibility that the fight will be scripted so let's just hope that they don't do that.  Anderson Silva is the underdog here, even if he has lots of experience on MMA, boxing is a different sports.  It is more tiring because of heavier gloves and attack is limited because a boxer can't use anything to attack except his punches which is very different from MMA where a fighter has the freedom to use everything in his arsenal as long as it is legal.


Same here, I like to see Anderson Silva knocking out Jake Paul.  Let us hope it happens to show Jake Paul not to take advantage of aged and washed up fighters.

Just sharing the opinion of Wilder's former coach - Malik Scott.


https://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-coach-gives-jake-paul-edge-over-silva-hes-become-good-fighter--169364

Interesting point of view by a boxing trainer here, not just because he thinks that Jake has a chance to win against Silva, but his take that he is good in boxing per se, as he has a massive follower and perhaps he thinks that those fans are into boxing right now.

You just didn't compare Floyd with Silva did you lol.  Floyd fought Connor and Floyd is a BOXING all time great he wasn't crossing over into boxing.  Anderson Silva was never a professional boxer. Mma and boxing is wildly different.  Floyd could have been a zillion to 1 again Connor and it still would have been a good bet.  This matchup is just some exhibition that could go either way and the odds are about right.

Agreed, age will surely be a point while choosing the odds. When the age comparison is made, we should also make the performance and the experience comparison. Jake Paul is just a beginner when considered against Anderson Silva. This makes majority of the people bet on Anderson Silva. These are truly not the real fight that we enjoy, just hyped ones.

If we based on their age than for sure make Paul has a advantage it because as we all know  20 years of behind is a good enough and a young fighter fight his older opponent which is veteran enough and had many experience in the world of fight so Silva has advantage in terms of fighting skills, experience and technique but in terms of age then like what I said make Paul had advantage.

Both have edges and advantages so we can only rely our decision on how well we know and have witnessed the previous performances of these boxers. As for me, I believe that Anderson's stamina and strength will still be able to knock down Jake Paul despite his age. Anderson has a  broader experience and he already knows how to counter his opponent. He has been through a lot so age will not be a hindrance this time.

Malik Scott has a point, Jake Paul has improved well but we are just used to see him as a boxer who's just fighting washed out boxers and fighters from MMA to maintain his advantage and keeps on getting his pocket full. That is not the case to me anymore, time will come that he will be a bonafide boxer to the people's eye. That bout against Rahman Jr. is his chance to show that he's not the old Jake Paul anymore but Rahman Jr. avoided him that's why he is not facing a veteran fighter again namely Anderson Silva.

Jake paul indeed has improved well after several fights but it doesn't mean he is good compared to someone who has a lot of experience with great record and also in his prime. Anderson Silva is a veteran but every veteran have their time sooner or later. A veteran that has enough experience or skills have a chance to win against a veteran that is older for more than 10 years which the younger one have more stamina and more except experience like the veterans have.

Yes, the Rahman fight might be a good gauge, but who knows, it might be just a setup as well and Paul will win that fight. But now, he will be tested against another former MMA, but this time, it has a good stand up game and could really box and should be the closest to a boxer with a good caliber that Jake Paul will face (without getting the fight rig). So we will have to see how Jake Paul can mesh with Anderson's style and he can break him apart and if he has power in both hands. Might be interesting for some fight fans that they want to see this fight.

I don't know why you have put them in american format while everybody is using decimal odds here but those odds are ridiculously low for Jake Paul.
It's  100 / 140 + 1 = 1.71 for Anderson silva
and 100 / 100 + 1 = 2.00 for Jake Paul

So of course I will bet on Anderson Silva because I dont know which sportsbooks is offering such odds, but there are very bad. Ander Silva is called the spider, since he 's fast and precise, so I think he will easily dominate the fight, even more than Mayweather did it because he will take it seriously unlike him.

https://www.pinnacle.com/Cms_Data/Contents/Guest/Media/betting-articles/Knowledge-base/converting_odds/article-converting-odds-american-decimal-xl.jpg

That's the pros for being a veteran, the experience but it's true that his speed and strength lessens over time as he becomes older.

While for Jake, even if he's not that type of the pro but still he's got some experience too but not enough although he's got more flexibility and stamina than Anderson.

Well, the majority is going with Anderson Silva because we all believe that experience matters and he's got a lot of it and toughness has been built on him despite his age.

if Silva will seriously train for this, even as an exhibition fight, he has big chance of beating Paul. he has the upper hand in terms of experience. but the stamina would be a big factor here if he won't train hard for this. hard to bet on this kind of fight also as we have no clue if both camps have prior arrangement. remember, it is an exhibition fight. the judges can easily decide as a draw even if there is a clear winner. so bet at your own risk.

I still wanted to see Jake Paul though fight a legitimate boxer to see if he has what it takes for him to be called a good boxer. For me he is still an influencer boxer, just fighting for pure money and to entertain us fans.

But this fight could be a step forward, because for sure he will want to keep fighting (if he really loves the sport and not just to make tons of money). And so if the future, he might upgrade the quality of his opponents and maybe one day break barriers by stepping on a actual pro-fight.

Most of the bets choosing Jake Paul even though Anderson Silva was great in MMA but I think there's a fine line of fighting inside the ring for 12 rounds vs a 3 - 5 matches in a ring and that goes to Jake Paul since he has the experience already by fighting those greatest fighter. Although some are not and most of the fight are under in an exhibition matches but Jake Paul shows us how he fought them.

I hope Silva would surprise his fans and Paul at the same time during the match that he can beat someone on a boxing and not just on an MMA ring.

I think you misunderstood what I've said because I don't recall that I've said somewhere nor I compared Jake Paul to a much more experienced fighter/boxer with a great record and still in his prime, and I won't even assume that you mean Anderson Silva by that because he's not in his prime anymore. We also have to understand that Silva will be fighting in the ring against a young boxer in his own sport and not in the octagon, I'm not saying too that Silva doesn't stand a chance, but his chances are quite lower than Jake Paul's.

I still believe that even with normal training for Silva, he'll be able to win against Jake Paul. Silva has much more experience compared to Paul even though Paul is younger which gives him an advantage in stamina, I don't think that he'll be able to outmatch Silva with his strength and durability. He's the best bet would to dodge and take time with his match for him to win.

But still Paul can still win this depending on how much seriousness he'll undergo for his training on this match.

We may sound like Jake Paul's haters but I would like to see that view too, getting knocked out by a retired MMA is not a view we can often see and Jake can also call that as an honor to get defeated by a legend ;D Let's see what will be the effect on Jake Paul's mental health after he'll taste his first defeat.

Although as speculated in the other discussion, there's indeed a high chance that this fight might be scripted as Silva and Jake Paul might had a pact beforehand and just aiming to get money from the fight. I might be wrong but chances are chances, we never know.

Still can't wait to see this fight.  Really hoping that Silva is training his ass off right now and ready to TKO Jake Paul when the time comes. 

That being said, did you guys see how arguably the greatest fighter to ever live called out Jake Paul and Jake admitted he stood no chance against this fighter and that he wouldn't be entertaining a fight against him?  If not check it out here - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pwKMB_2a_LA

 :D

Yes, Anderson Silva is still a threat even if he's already old enough and note this is not his first fight in the ring as he also had his own share of experience when it comes boxing and came out as a winner as well. While Jake is not that quite agile and his defense is easy to crack, I have no doubt that Silva will just play some games on him. But on the betting side, it's hard to predict who will be the winner and I have some doubts too, so I think I'll pass.

I probably won't bet this fight because I have no idea who will win.  Anderson Silva is clearly the better and more established fighter, but he's old...  Jake has age and likely supplements on his side, so for me this is a risky fight for Anderson Silva while also being one hell of a payday.  I can see why he didn't want to turn this fight down.  Win or lose I suspect it'll be the last time he enters the ring.  Personally, I'd like to see Jake get knocked out and I'd hate to see Anderson Silva get knocked out, so I probably have too much emotion on the line to add money to it.  I'll watch the fight though and hope for the best.  Old man power better be on display.

I think it's you who misunderstood my point. I didn't say that you said it. My point is that you are right that jake paul has improved but his skills is not the same as the veteran which has more experience but the veterans body is not the same as Jake Paul which is young that's why I too would say that Jake Paul has more chance compared to silva and silva also have chance since he is more skilled fighter. I am sure you get my point now. I am not saying that silva is still in his prime and what I meant by that is if they both fight and silva is still in his prime but have all the skills he have now as a veteran which is my point. In short (in silva's POV), your chance of winning against me will be low if my body is in my prime but don't forget that even though I am not in my prime but I have my skills (just an example by the way and don't assume that it is silva's word just making an example of my point).

Still too early to predict , I assume that your 500 bet is the only funds you will release in this fight so yeah you can confidently say that it is an amount you can spend or risk , on the other hand I am betting in both but like yours  will put High for Anderson , because I cannot predict who will win here because both has a potential to defeat each other.
Safe way mate , not unless you are a fan of one so at least putting small amount will do.

Yes, so the best thing to do is not to bet on this fight.


But if you look at it, Silva has a good fighting stance and I would say a good boxer and he has the experience to beat Jake Paul but the age difference though.


Who wouldn't like to see him at least touching the canvass for the first time if I'm not mistaken. But it will be a big task for Anderson, but he will have to test the chin of Jake Paul and see how strong it is.

Lol! He will eat Jake Paul alive if he will agree to fight the greatest fighter to ever live up to this point, there's no way Jake Paul will win if that fight happens. My money goes for him alone! Anyway, back to the fight, I'm already excited how would they play perform on this fight, will Jake Paul crack Silva in the ring? Or is it the other way around?

That is a sight that I also love to see but we know that it's not that simple and as you guys are discussing above, it's much better to enjoy and watch the fight rather than betting on it because I doubt that there's a winner here. Silva is much adored and respected by Jake Paul so that is a sign and Jake Paul won't agree to lose because he is also building his career. That said, we might see a draw here, although that is just an speculation but I think that will happen.

This is how Jake Paul is hype about this fight, he is very positive that they can make at least 700,000 PPV buys.


https://www.boxingscene.com/jake-paul-optimistic-match-with-anderson-silva-fight-rack-up-700000-ppv-buys--169541

For the record, Canelo vs GGG was just a shade over 1 million buys.

So I don't know if this fight can go as high as 500,000 buys to be honest. And for me, it could top 200,000-300,000 even though his dance partner here is the legend of MMA.

I've seen multiple people claiming that Jake Paul is using steroids now. Is there any merit to that or is that just something people do when someone in the fighting business has some degree of success?

I can't remember who said it now, but they claimed that from his amateur fights to his first pro fight he put on a unimaginable amount of muscle. To me, he looked like he toned up more than put a massive amount of muscle on. He also cut his body fat percentage quite significantly which gives the impression of being bigger, due to the muscles bulging rather sitting under a layer of fat.

After his fights he pretty much goes back to his normal body weight, like a lot of professional fighters do. Going by face value, I imagine the claims are unsubstantiated.

i believe it stemmed to his beef with dana white. because paul is challenging white to take cocaine test. and white is challenging paul to take steroid test. as dana white is accusing paul of using steroids and can't sell PPVs. whereas, paul is calling for better payout and healthcare for UFC fighters. don't know what happened with their challenge though. but paul got cleared and has negative results with all banned substances.

Jake Paul’s steroid tests leaked amid Dana White drug challenge (https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/jake-pauls-steroid-tests-leaked-amid-dana-white-drug-challenge-1734714/)

but recently, paul is calling White again for a bet with this upcoming fight with Silva. he is also claiming white owed him $1M from Askren's bet.

https://i.imgur.com/iB2PnzI.png

Well it's really hard to say unless there are proof of it, like VADA or any anti doping body caught him like in the blood or urine samples they have to voluntarily subject.

But then again, are there any body involved in this fight? I'm not sure, if Silva has also been positive as well in the past during his MMA days.

Can anyone confirm if VADA is on top of this fight or not?

Does exhibition or such close-to-a-professional fight even gets any kind of testing? I mean what for? This is not a real fight, but more an entertainment event. For spectators, it does not matter if one of the fighters use steroid; they would even accept steroids usage, because that will make fight more challenging, exciting, entertaining. People dont go to see this (or buy PPV) to find out who is stronger or better boxer. They are there to see how "ma boy is doing".

I searched a little bit about exhibition matches and what rules applied to them.
So I found in this one article - What is an exhibition fight in boxing?

https://lawofthefist.com/what-is-an-exhibition-fight-in-boxing/
https://i.imgur.com/0bLZJKh.png

You can also see the 6 interesting rules of the boxing match between Mayweather and Logan Paul-
https://www.sportstiger.com/news/no-judges-check-out-6-interesting-rules-of-floyd-mayweather-vs-logan-paul-exhibition-boxing-match
https://i.imgur.com/I4FuYn4.png

From the above rules, you can really conclude that they are not worth betting as mostly they won't proclaim the official winner.
Most of the time, they ruled it as a draw. So yes, whatever they do to their body won't really matter at all.
Because it is seen as just pure entertainment and fun, and possibly helping a charity organization, they are more relax with the rules and vary from one match to another.

I know what exhibition boxing fights are. I am just not quite sure if they do any kind of testing before fight. Because their goal is to entertain, but not to find out who is better. If a spectators wants to see 2 boxers fights, he will go to a professional boxing fight night event. But in this event, the crown would love to see jacked by steroid king kong Jake Paul and fast as mongoose jacked Silva (not claiming, just an example).

This game is already in favour of the experienced guy which is silva we know the reason why jake paul woold like to offer a fight with different fighters just to get a lot of popularity at the same time is content, but of course, this is a match of sports anything can happen and for me to make a safe bet I prefer with silva than Jake paul, if you want a yolo gameplay with the higher odds it is ideal to make a bet for Jake paul.

I don't really know where did Jake Paul got his information because he really thought that his fight against Anderson Silva might be the biggest one or at least one of the biggest PPV-buys. 700,000 PPV? Canelo vs GGG got 1.06 Million buys but that is not enough to get their fight on the top charts. Biggest PPV-buy in the history was the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight which was dubbed as the fight of the century garnering 4.6 Million buys.

I hope you guys are referring a different bout and didn't forgot that this fight is not an exhibition match because I think this is Silva's 3rd professional fight in boxing with a 2-0 record, he defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz. But as you guys said above, it's no use betting in these kind of fights too because there is a big chance that it will just end up with a draw.

Also, Silva said that he is looking forward that he will fight Jake Paul in a kickboxing match next. Is this already included in their contract?

May be Silva is the experienced player with huge statics.But we can defend the particular game on a particular day.It’s like,we can’t say the batsmen will score 100 on a particular day.The day defend the game of particular day of the players.So same will happen in the case of Silva and a Paul.Paul May ready to face the experienced player like Silva.Silva should overcome the over confidence against Paul.Paul should increase the skill to face the experienced player then him.We was eager to have a look of this game with some eagerness in all the people mind.Paul is my friend favourite player,he will bet on Paul,when this game come for the bet in the sportsbet.Because the player faith is important one.Silva Will had his signature move as compared to the next person involved in the game.Paul should not get into cases for doing this casino.

When you say they both know how to box. Isn't Jake Paul's main job being a boxer anyway?

Anderson Silva is really one of the GOAT in the UFC he is a good striker, I agree with that. but cage and just boxing are really different. The age gap is also a big factor, and let me also point out that even if Anderson Silva was at his best, he couldn't beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, so it's clear where I'm going to spend my money.

In case you didn't know, Silva already had two victories last year in professional boxing matches. He defeated the former middleweight champion,
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and knocked out the HOF Tito Ortiz too. He might be old but we can't yet consider that as a disadvantage nor a factor on this fight against Jake Paul who haven't yet boxed any legit boxer. Anyway, your money your rules ;D

True, Anderson may be passed his prime but his opponent can still be considered a novice in boxing since Jake Paul opponents are not really a boxer but washed-out athletes of different sports.  So that evens out the score.  The only worrying thing about Jake Paul is that he has a knockout power which can be devastating if Silva is unable to absorb those power punches.  Regardless if Silva can evade heavy blows then I might think that Silva has a better chance of winning, unless the fight is scripted  ;D.

I would bet otherwise- even if Anderson Silva is at least 45 years old, experience will take you further compared to someone who is relatively new to this sport.

Anderson Silva is known by many as a legend in UFC. He is a former middleweight champion and his techniques are surprisingly deadly. Though he is against a 25+ year old with more stamina, he can outsmart Jake Paul with his experience and training from all the fights that he'd experience on the field. Not to mention, just one grapple and the fight could be over in an instant.

Of course, this is all situational but if I were to bet my money, I would most likely go all in for Anderson Silva.

I would also bet  on Anderson Silva as support to him. Even though I think Jake Paul has advantage in this fight due to his youth and some experience on boxing matches.


But the thing is UFC is very different from boxing Silva can't kick, grapple and wrestle in boxing.  So all this advantages can't be used on the ring  ;D.


Same here I will go all in with Silva.

Silva is a very sleek fighter I have seen his greatest fights when he was young and at the height of his career, his movement is great its just unfortunate that he takes up boxing quite late, he can make a good career out of boxing, his win against Chavez Jr. can be considered as one of his top fight as Chavez Jr. is still young and a veteran in boxing if Silva shows up with the same stamina and skill when he fought Chavez Jr. then he has a good chance but we must not forget Silva is not young anymore and there's a saying in boxing the mind still wants it but the body cannot keep up anymore, we'll see in this fight if Silva's body can still keep up.

Same with me, though we can say that Paul is very much younger than Silva still we can say that in terms of the experience, stamina and endurance Silva will have more than Paul. Just like other boxer I am following like Pacman if I am not mistaken there are some younger boxer than him but because he still has the stamina and the speed he won in that particular match.

Yes, this time I will also choose Anderson Silva because Jake Paul has only been in the ring a few times, unlike Anderson Silva who has a lot of experience in the ring and has met various characters of his opponent, I think experience will determine the outcome of the match.
it will be a great match even though the winning presentation for jake paul is very small.

That will be the downfall of Silva because we know that his jaw is easy to crack and Jake Paul won't have a hard time cracking it if he can manage to land a solid punch on it, he just needed to land a single or two to defeat Silva but I bet that won't come easy because Silva knows that his opponents are aiming on his head that's why he is trained to get evasive maneuvers and by the way, he is good at it.
Taking away that fact, it will be an entertaining and an even fight, I just hope they didn't have a pact tho.

Silva is a legendary MMA/UFC fighter who would be considered one of the best, but he is too old to take on a young 25-year-old fighter who has been training hard for the past few years. and yes Jake Paul is a POS who has never fought a professional boxer but he has trained boxing from an experienced boxing coach and he is quite active and his strength, his stamina will far exceed current Silva.
If Jake Paul was 25 against 46-year-old Anderson Silva, I think he won, and if he had fought Silva then or in his prime, Paul would have been hit hard and would have probably hung up his gloves.
and anyway this will be an interesting match and also quite entertaining to watch.

You guys really don't know that Silva has already fought in the ring numerous times and made a debut as early as May 1998.
You can see it here: https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/152826

Although I also side with Silva because experience speaks the most and even if Jake Paul has been fighting in the ring since then and has more knockout power than Silva, it's still not enough to defeat an experienced veteran who is still nimble and frisky at his age.

I'm surprised with this announcement, because I didn't imagine that we would actually have a fight between them (Anderson Silva vs Jake Paul)

It's a significant age difference, I don't know how Silva performs nowadays, if he still fights, trains or something similar.

But even so, I believe Anderson Silva will win this fight.
He is more experienced and is also used to fighting. Anderson is taller and also has a large wingspan, which is an important factor in boxing.

That’s the whole plan for the fight basically. Silva will try to use his expertise on running away from punches, he is great at it, and he will enjoy making sure that Jake pays for all his misses as well, both on getting tired (because even missed punches tire you a lot) and also because he will counter back very well.

That’s Silva's plan, but Jake will be hoping to try to beat with just a few punches, if he lands even one amazing direct hit, it's over for Silva, so all fight Jake will be on the look out for it and maybe he will get it, or maybe he won't get it, but it will definitely be something to watch. This is the strategies for both sides, that’s it.

I think both has plans to avoid each other punch and not to get caught specially early, both have power in their hands that's for sure. And as the round goes on, we could see who has the advantage, youth vs experience. If Paul will not tire out he might surprised Silva. But for sure Anderson knows this so he has to preserved his strength and then go out full swing in the second half. So let's see which strategies are going to work here. But to be honest, as far as betting goes, I might skip this one.

This is both fighter's toughest fight and I have seen how respectful Jake Paul was to Silva I am interested in the outcome of this fight I don't think Silva will get himself knock out here because of the money, there's speculation that Woodley let Paul knocks him out, Silva has a better legacy than Woodley and it will be ruin if he gets knocked out here, although there's speculation that these exhibition matches are fixed to make Paul the winner I will not believe that Silva will go down to this level getting knock out, Silva will give Paul a good fight, he can even win this fight.

If the rumor is true then this is totally disgusting and give stain to Silva's career. And imagine a experience fighter got defeated by a youtuber? This is totally insane but I still doubt the rumor is true so I still think Silva got more better chances to win this fight because he's experience is more broad than Paul. I don't downplaying how Paul fight but let see how the match goes.

I would agree with the experience but I doubt Paul will come in second when it comes to stamina and endurance.  Paul is still young so he has probably more gas in his tank if conditioned properly.  We'll the truth, we don't know who will last longer until they meet in the ring.


The catchweight fight of Pacman takes away the reserve tank of his opponent.  Since Pacman't opponent needs to burn more weight, they are probably overexerted and already exhausted even before the fight starts, and that greatly affects the boxing performance of a fighter.

Silva is a very extraordinary fighter. If he will play with Jake and use taunts (like he used to in UFC), then Jake could knock him out. Or Silva show a boring fight (like he did in first UFC even in UAE, when sheikhs were expecting show, but got grimacing, walking and running in octagon). Even if promotors or people behind will try to stage this fight, Silva can perform what ever he wants. He likes to surprise with unexpected decisions.

Jake has been training boxing for last 2-3 years. It is wrong to call him "just a youtuber". He is not "a guy that has put gloves for the first time" anymore. For sure he can kick some asses easily now.

The odds was set just right considering Silva was a great UFC fighter and also have experience in boxing too. Though he's already 47 but I guess there are still some speed, precision, and power that's left in his tank and can definitely beat the younger Jake Paul.
On the other hand, Jake Paul's only advantage I can see is his age and activeness in boxing.
So, I'm gonna pick Silva here.

Younger doesn't always mean fitter. That's across all sports, but especially for boxing. Jake has been so used to knocking out his opponents, but also his opponents not really answering back at him with punches. He may not have that great conditioning once Anderson starts throwing volume at him, and continues to do that into the rounds.

I'm not too bothered about the result, I'm kind of routing for Jake almost just to see where he can take this career, but I'm also split as I'm a Silva fan, but he's at the tail end of his career, and I know he's going to get paid some decent money for this fight. So, ultimately I'm happy whatever the outcome is as long as it isn't Silva face down on the canvas.

I think Jake does it. However, what I'm most curious about is how he deals with punches coming back at him, and the volume that Silva can output is still pretty decent judging on his last few fights. Also, he's a tricky fighter, he's unconventional in how he approaches fights, and throws his punches.

This fight is indeed very exciting for us UFC lovers because Anderson silva and Jake paul have a difference in terms of age, and I am sure that for this fight Jake paul is superior because of his stamina that is still strong and he will definitely be more profitable and can extend his undefeated record and he has already achieved five wins and without a single loss, and this will be a tough challenge for Anderson Silva of course,although Silva is already very experienced in the UCF but for this fight he has to really be able to prove his sharpness in the UFC ring that will take place at the crazy river arena Glendale.

I thought that Anderson Silva was going to be an underdog in this fight due to the age gap, but I must admit that after seeing recent footage of Mike Tyson at 57 absolutely destroying his trainer, I think Silva at 47 might be able to put Jake away.  Seeing how reserved he is, I may have mistaken that kindness for weakness, but I think I see now that this will be a better fight then I was expecting.  I also think Silva is probably the heaviest and longest fighter that Jake has faced.  Jake still has a weight advantage to go along with his youth, but Silva is going to land some punches on him due to the reach where Woodley couldn't. 

According to duelbits, Anderson Silve is not an underdog at all with 1.92 odd, while Jake Paul is 1.82. But I find it strange that there are no options of placing a bet "win by method" or "exact round". Either  platform (platforms) dont allow such bets in exhibition fights, or this fight have special rules.

I dont understand why Jake Paul is a favourite by bookies. Why dont bookies take into consideration Silvas experience, the fact that he works as a boxing coach for his son. He is not new to boxing. Silva is a lot in combat sports than any of other Jake Pauls opponents.

Silva has always been a gentleman outside the cage, and very softly spoken. I suppose when you're used to every other fighter bigging themselves up, it can come across weak with someone like Silva. Although, he's anything but that.

Woodley freezes a lot, it was a problem in the UFC too, and not exclusive to his fight with Jake. There was times in that fight that if Woodley just threw some volume, he'd be asking questions of Jake. It just never happened. I've been saying it all along now, but I genuinely feel like we'll be walking away from this fight either thinking Jake cherry picked his opponents, and never really had a future in boxing or we'll see him as a real fighter. I genuinely believe he's the latter, he just needs the right opponent to showcase his defensive skills as well as his offensive skills, which we've seen he most definitely has.

i have the feeling that if silva would really be serious with his training here, he can easily beat jake paul. jake paul needs a lesson from a previous professional boxer. though i do like what he's calling for about the fair wage of UFC fighters and all. the reason why he had beef with dana white. but he's been getting good payout with his exhibition fights more than what most professional boxers are getting right now.

I don't think so this match would become interesting because we know jake paul just like trolling other fighters and at the same time if we check with the experience it is really far from their fighting skills too, but still at the end of the day if this game would happen for sure many people make a bet for silva for easy profit and make a risk play to Jake paul still it depends on the possible odds might happen for this.

I was stunned upon reading the op and its betting market showing Anderson Silva is slim favorite over Jake Paul. Updated betting market I found at Moonbet is showing Jake Paul now takes the lead at 1.75 over Anderson Silva at 2.0.

So Anderson Silva is now the underdog just like what many of us here are imagining. Anderson Silva has nice boxing skills but at 47 years old, I am questioning his ability to last long. I mean, how is his stamina gonna survive? Many people are laughing on the career of Jake Paul but he is just young and developing. And in his training, he looks committed even if he fightin' non boxers.

That is a good point! But we know that experience will somehow help Silva in this fight, Jake Paul might be a decent boxer with good knockout punch but that will be a challenge in his side to do because Silva at his age is still quite agile to evade any serious punch. Anyway, just as you said, this is a rare interesting fight that we should see soon. My side belongs to the MMA HOF, we'll see who will be victorious at the end of the day.

Mainly because Jake Paul are facing huge veteran names across other combat sports that is why his exhibition fights are pays off more than what most professional boxer nowadays, but Jake Paul doesn't have the authenticity like the professional boxer does because he is not climbing any ranks as he didn't had true fights with active pro boxers in the league and that is what he lacks. I still think this will be an enjoyable fight knowing how entertaining Silva is.

If there's one fighter who can challenge Jake Paul it's going to be Silva, Silva only has one fight in boxing but that one fight is enough to show boxing experts and critics that he has what it takes, I have a feeling that this fight will be very much different from all the fight Jake Paul has, I don't want to see Silva getting knock out just like what happened to Woodley as this will tarnish his image and his legacy, I also noticed that both fighters have big respect to each other, let's see in the ring if they will still respect each other.

Both fighters respect each other because as we all know that they are they same they have a good record that they hold in and they don't want to ruin everything respect for the both sides is a good to see how they handle their opponent but in the fight day all this thing's are set aside and fight for their title as it was a big fight for them. Silva is different from other fighters quite but deadly so jake Paul must be alert on the time and have a good practice .

No mate, Anderson Silva already had 4 professional fights (https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/152826) in boxing and this is his 5th fight. Two of those fights happened last year in just a span of four mere months, imagine Silva's age, yet he managed to attain that feat and finished it all successfully even if he is an MMA fighter. That's why I'm confident to say that this will be Jake's first defeat, I just hope that this isn't staged tho.

It's like you say mate, for me Anderson is one of the oldest boxers and with more opinions for everything, age in boxing is not as decisive as it is in football or in any other sport where it really affects a lot, in the ring you don't need to run, just take a few steps and move well, I think the technique goes a lot there, but of course many will say that Paul has the advantage because he is younger, because he is more irreverent and because he is not afraid of him Nothing for the simple fact of being younger, and maybe yes, but in boxing things can happen in other ways, sometimes a 47-year-old veteran can knock you out and you won't realize it.


In this fight I don't think there is a type of knockout, I don't see it from anyone, both boxers for me are at the same level, I don't think one is bigger than the other, I feel that both Jake and Silva above all serve of good athletes for example of boxing, it is a fight that as I said before, I do not see that there is a clear winner by advantage and I do not know for whom I could make a bet, I see this fight as very tough, and I think that both boxers have prepared very well, for me it could end in a draw, I don't see any overwhelming advantage over any boxer, also if it goes to the technical level (I hope not) I will feel a bit bored.

Oscar de la Hoya gives his opinion on this important meeting:

Oscar De La Hoya Makes His Prediction For Jake Paul Vs. Anderson Silva

And as a bettor, that is our concern that this might be rigged and stage so it's hard to bet on this kind of match. But I do agree that Silva has good win in boxing recently, specially against a full blown pro in JCC Jr.

I also hear that some fans wanted to see Jake Paul being knock out here, specially by the legend in Silva hehehe. Perhaps it was the hatred  against Jake Paul or it just the fans of Silva pushing it obviously. But let's see, I wouldn't be surprised if Anderson Silva wins this fight.

I also think the same, for me this fight will not be as exciting as the one between Canelo and GGG, I think the fight will have a tint similar to loa de exchiición, despite the fact that it is a real fight and that it has many things to bet and to win and losing, for me both boxers have a unique respect for each other, and I think neither has much intention of seeing the other below the other, for me both are very good, and I also think that the best thing for this fight is to have a good rate of popcorn and enjoy the technique that both can show, it is very likely that there will be a tie, if I had to bet on an epate I would go for it.

Well, sometimes our relevance in one or more boxers can be affected by emotions, some bet much more on Silva, maybe he is the boxer who has much more hierarchy, although as I said before, I did not know who to bet on, I see The two boxers are very even, it's difficult, and although anyone can give a surprise, but I think that for a knockout I see very low possibilities, to be honest too low, I don't think something like that happens no matter how much you want one of the other, if they start with intentions like that, it is only that there can be a type of sighting to discover the other's plan, for me this fight will be very close.

Yes, it's much better to watch and enjoy the fight rather than betting on it because we can't really know for sure as there are rumors that both camps had a pact. Either way, only them can confirm it and surely they won't let the public know. Majority here sides with Silva and I can't blame them because it really shows that he have the higher hand as he is not that kind of novice in the world of boxing.

With yesterday’s UFC in the books and Suga Sean getting himself a victory over Yan, it looks like the next big fight for the social media stars is Jake Paul and Anderson Silva. I’ve watched a few of Silvia’s fights and it seems like he isn’t the greatest boxer so I see why Jake’s camp was willing to make this fight. Most of Silvia’s skills are with kicking and submitting, so I think Jake has a better chance than most people are giving him.

Just matter of days now, as others wanted to see Anderson Silva kicking Jake Paul ass here, hehehehe. But I doubt that it will happen, it's just this two is going to make a lot of money. And after this fight, this two might continue to seek more exhibition matches specially the Paul Brothers as they are still hype.

I saw some bets right now in the listing of all bets in some gambling casino and yes most of the people right now are trying to bet for Jake Paul and I guess the underdog right now in term of bets is Silva but it is just a an initial bet before the match came there's a chance that the players might change their bet before the close bets happens.

Yes, that it correct, Anderson Silva is the underdog and that shouldn't be surprises us all. He is old already and way past his prime, but can still hold his own in this fight.

But if you are talking about sentimental favorites, then I would say that Silva will be our favorite because we wanted him to beat the arrogant Jake Paul. Although Jake is respectful in this fight and wouldn't hear anything negative from him regarding his opponents, still though majority of us didn't like his personality or how he started this whole exhibition match hype.

Even in their press conference it seemed like they already were expecting Jake Paul to win. They basically announced a new organization to provide better health care to UFC fighters and Anderson Silva will be the President if he loses. If Silva wins then Jake will kickbox him. Silva seemed well aware of what will happen when he loses and I’m sure he doesn’t want to fight again, even kickboxing. I may toss a few bucks on Paul.

For me, this fight could be defined in a technical way, as you have said, these boxers are very gentlemen among themselves, I do not see that there is much bad rivalry, but sports rivalry, which is what should always exist, and not the humiliation that always Some boxers are made, I think that to attract attention, here they put in context two boxers who may have a lot of respect but who only have to fight as much as possible for that respect and you say who will be the best, of course for me This can be defined in a very technical way, but anything can happen in boxing, both boxers have a lot of potential.

Important News:

Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva fight WILL go ahead after emergency decision

https://i.imgur.com/T8cwRnX.png


Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-anderson-silva-fight-28347009 (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-anderson-silva-fight-28347009)

Technically speaking and let's say they are 100% serious, Jake Paul might has the upper hand here. Even Anderson Silva is an experienced fighter, his body might not cooperate according to his will because obviously, the capability is not present now.

But either way, I won't place a bet at this fight as maybe there might be irregularities here or sort of manipulation. Who knows.

When it's about manipulation, Jake Paul will win the fight, that's why I never think Silva will win here. Silva is an old fighter and he doesn't have any good record, so Silva will let Jake Paul win to get easy money. Just like Tyron Woodley who's a beast on UFC, but as we can see his performance against Paul is really bad, he lose two times against Paul. If Paul already challenge a real boxer who have light heavyweight belts, then Paul will 100% lose on that's fight.

About what I expected. Jake Paul looked good and so did Silva. I’m the end though it was the 8th round knockdown that won the fight for him. If it wasn’t for that momentary lapse then I think people would be debating who won the fight. I don’t think Silva was hurt at all, which is great, but he did take a good shot and lost his balance tumbling backwards. Everyone with money on Paul is happy. He said he wanted Nate Diaz or Canelo next.

I only see the highlight of the fight on Youtube, compared to the past fights of Jake Paul, this is a more competitive one I was surprised by the score, it should have been close because Silva is giving Paul a lot of clean punches, that knockdown on the final round gives Paul the edge on the judges' scorecard, Jake Paul's journey continues and he is now calling Nate Diaz this time.
Silva can also move forward with his boxing he is still good.

I laughed when he said he want to fight Canelo. as much as I like how he performed in this match, it would be a mismatch if he fights Canelo. but if Canelo accepted it, it would gain so much attention and would definitely generate a lot of money(that's why I understand why he wants to fight Canelo).

My bet went to Silva but Jake won the fight, but this have not stopped me from supporting Silva, we all know that Silva's age was his first enemy before his opponent stepped in, there is no way we should compare a man in his late 40s to a man just in his mid 20s, there's a very huge gap there but even though i know that probability of Jake winning the fight was higher due to his young age, i still gave Silva my bet because even if Jake won, i see no honor in it.
Jake should stop fighting men that are already gone out of their prime and start fighting men in his age category, if not, his winnings will continue to be irrelevant to me .

Did he now? Wow, such a big words for a man who hasn't beat any real boxer up until now. The odds and advantage are almost siding with him though because he has the youth, speed and more boxing bouts in his career, Anderson Silva is good but it was evident that he isn't good enough with against young heavy hitter like Paul. The fight is so close and I was expecting a draw already but that 8th round knockdown changed it.
