Jake Paul v Hasim Rahman Jr / Amanda Serrano V Brenda Carabaja co-main event Aug

[TopTort777]

Why not bet on Rahman instead, since we could expect anything from Jake ? Who knows what could happen. Maybe a "boxer" will be able to knockout "blogger" ? Dont underestimate Rahmans amateur career. Google say he has more than 100+ in amateur fights, while Jakes whole career looks more amateur than pro If only there will be a tricky clause in their contract, that states no KO allowed.

I saw #FreeNateDiaz trending on twitter the other night.  It does seem like a pretty messed up situation for him.  Dana won't get him a fight and also won't let him get his own fight outside of the UFC.  I understand that Dana is a businessman, but I think it's gotten to the point where instead of growing the UFC company with his business skills, he's allowing other sports like boxing to begin getting back their market share.  Surely the UFC is making enough money to where they could double fighter pay without hurting the bottom line.  In this case, all he needs to do is let Nate walk away from his contract.  Seems like the right thing to do, but I'm sure Dana wants a cut to make it happen.

Diaz looks to be fighting in the UFC soon now. I think that might be his last fight on his contract though so I'm not sure if he will re-sign with the UFC, especially if it means not being able to take the big paydays in boxing. There was a lot of talk of Diaz fighting Jake so maybe that could happen now. If Jake does fight him that's one more step towards the Connor fight in my opinion as Diaz and Connor are very closely matched in terms of skill etc and are 1/1 against each other.

Jake is literally the best person you could have for publicity. The Paul brothers are just absolute gold mines in that department. I haven't seen anyone else do it better. Plus, Jake knows how to push people's buttons. He has basically built his career off being the "problem child" as he calls himself.

I actually don't think he is as much of an idiot, as he's portrayed. I actually think the more I've seen of him, the more calculated his videos, messages, and basically everything is. I imagine at the start of his career, and bad publicity he was just a normal kid bending some rules, but he has simply embraced that sort of reputation, and has literally built a boxing career off of it. Plus, I actually think he's going to win in this next fight, and I was part of the gang that would just like to see him get beat, so he can stop embarrassing the sport. However, I'm not sure if he's an embarrassment any more, he has done more for boxing than a lot of professional boxers.

The odds are fairly close, not massive odds either way.

Jake is taking the McGregor formula and playing it to a T. That's why I'd love to see Jake eventually fight Connor. The build up would be epic and likely more exciting than the actual fight. Can you imagine them at a press conference just slagging the shit out of each other?

He's far from an idiot. Both the Paul brothers seem to have their heads screwed on. They know where the money is and how to get it. People just don't like them because they're popular and Jake talks a lot of smack which only gets him more attention and he's an expert at that.

His latest stunt of pretending to be in the hospital with a broken back from carrying the promotion from this fight seemed a little juvenile. 

I thought it was pretty funny and well done. He got the clickbait of fooling people he's injured then flipped it and made a joke out of it. It made me laugh on the reveal anyway. I saw a lot of news sites picking that story up so it worked. I'm not sure how successful this boxing fight will be in PPV terms though but he's doing his best to promote it.

[Ararbermas]

Hasim is a big man as well wherein for sure if jake became careless on this match surely he will not last and will end up knock out on just one mistake.  If he has speed and good footwork it will not be a problem.. But unfortunately he doesn't have such ability yet..

[Maslate]

Its Dana's business to make sure he gets money out of everyone under his contract. But I think its not just about him getting a cut, its also about protecting UFC fighters.  Nate Diaz is not fit to fight due to long inactivity. This will embarrass UFC if he gets knockout by a youtuber. We have seen his last 2 fights and with that kind of performance, Paul will throw him down the canvass like a ragdoll.

Jale Paul causes a lot of embarrassment in UFC, Dana White should protect his organization's image I agree that Nate will suffer if he fights Jake, boxing is very much different from MMA we have seen it on 3 UFC fighters who tried to make a shift and all suffer from embarrassment, going back to Jake Paul v Hasim Rahman Jr this is going to be an interesting match up because Jake Paul is fighting a certified boxer although not a top-level boxer, after this fight id he has a good result he can fight fighters on the top I doubt if he can win a world title.

i saw the press conference on youtube and both sides just be joking at each other but i must say i laughed a lot with it and this will be a fight that will make you laugh a lot, i hope they don't fight for entertainment and be more professional. I'm still thinking about who I'm going to bet on, because in this type of fights the results are very unpredictable, in my case as I've never watched every fight of these two fighters, I've only seen many videos of their fights, it's hard for me to choose who will win, although I think that Jake Paul has a better chance of winning

It may not happen now because Nate Diaz will be fighting Khamzat on UFC 279. This is according to this MMA news.

Anyway, there is no difference to the result, Khamzat is a lot dangerous than Jake Paul. Khamzat will double up and tuck Diaz over and pound him to the ground. Dana made a decision to end the career of Diaz and maybe after the fight, Diaz is on his own and can fight Paul after Oct. 19. His UFC contract expires this date. Source: https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/07/ufc-news-nate-diaz-contract-expiration-date

That is much better and I can really say that Dana White had really give some thought that his beloved company won't be dragged into a mud after Diaz's actions. Now, Diaz is facing a lot more dangerous opponent in his own field and I'm really inclined that he will lose badly this time (which by the way what Dana wants) after being inactive for a year already.

Yeah, it would be some sight. I'm starting to lean towards wanting that fight. Regardless if it's boxing or not, I think Conor beats him. However, the build up would be incredible as you say.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I didn't like Jake in the beginning mind you. Logan I liked a lot more after his incident, and how he handled it. Jake I'm warming up to though, as I'm now convinced he's just doing it for the publicity, and is probably a decent kid underneath it all.

He does rub people the wrong way, and it's funny that his latest faking breaking his back rubbed people the wrong way too. I thought, it was a decent gag, and maybe just a little bit distasteful, but at the end of the day he isn't harming anyone.

This appears to be another payperview joke from the promoters to scam fans. Something similar to a pump and dump ICO to steal your money hehehe. Also, why will Jake Paul not challenge James Morrison, the fighter who knocked out Hasim Rahman?

It's Kenzie Morrison, not James Morrison.

If Jake Paul will fight against him, then we will expect another KO from Kenzie Morrison lol since Jake Paul isn't a good boxer. I believe he will keep winning when he fight against a weak boxer or unknown boxer, then if he challenge a champion or strong boxer, he might be fine if he lose since he will already made a good sum of money.

In this fight I will bet on Paul since I know Rahman Jr. only foughts against loser.

It is not Kenzie. His real name is James McKenzie Morrison. I read boxers' information in Boxingrec.

https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/699496

James is also the son of a former boxer, Tommy Morrison who died of AIDS. Tommy Morrison was also a former WBO champion. Also, agreed. In due course the fans will be bored of Jake Paul and he will be pressured to challenge a real boxer. I predict he will lose 1 fight before his 15th fight.

[Welsh]

I mean, I've also got to hand it to Jake to having a back up fighter to not disappoint the fans. I kind of wish this was the way it was planned out all the time. Nothing worse than seeing your favourite fighter not get to fight due to their opponent backing out. I'm by no means saying Jake is my favourite boxer, but for a lot of people he will be since he introduced them to boxing.

Tommy was such a promising boxer. I mean you didn't get invited to Rocky 5? for nothing. The guy was as promising as they got, and had very heavy hands. It's actually quite a tragic story about Tommy. There's a few Youtube videos which are well worth the watch which document his fall. Towards the end he looked like a shadow of himself. It's sad how it went for him. At the start of his career he had all the promise in the world, but also seemed liked a genuinely nice guy.

I wasn't aware he had a son though so that's new.

This appears to be another payperview joke from the promoters to scam fans. Something similar to a pump and dump ICO to steal your money hehehe. Also, why will Jake Paul not challenge James Morrison, the fighter who knocked out Hasim Rahman?

Well, I have read that the purpose of this match against Hasim Rahman Jr was to prove that Jake Paul is legitimate and that he is serious with his boxing career, or just to add legitimacy to his records because his past fights were with a retired MMA fighter and not really a boxer, well we can say it is only a stunt aswell, just to fill out the need of his boxing records, and why is Hasim Rahman Jr. and not McKenzie Morrison I don't know maybe Morrison doesn't want anything to do with Jake Pauls antics and Hasim Rahman Jr. really needs money for this fight that is why he approved this fight,

Why not bet on Rahman instead, since we could expect anything from Jake ? Who knows what could happen. Maybe a "boxer" will be able to knockout "blogger" ? Dont underestimate Rahmans amateur career. Google say he has more than 100+ in amateur fights, while Jakes whole career looks more amateur than pro If only there will be a tricky clause in their contract, that states no KO allowed.

For me I am looking at their moves and reaction time to every strike, I'd say Jake Paul may have an upper hand, I don't really like the records, but I think Skills and technique will provide good results here, I don't really like Paul Jake but I think he is making an epic win here, he surely is an amateur after all so if he beats a Profesional boxer, that doesn't have any decent fights in my opinion maybe he can put a good show on other professional boxers aswell, anyway, I will be taking Jake Paul here so yeah maybe he can really do it,

Hasim is a big man as well wherein for sure if jake became careless on this match surely he will not last and will end up knock out on just one mistake.  If he has speed and good footwork it will not be a problem.. But unfortunately he doesn't have such ability yet..

I don't know why but am I taking the side of Jake Paul, well not really, and maybe well I don't really like Jake Paul, but for this fight, I really think he is ready enough in taking Hasim Rahman Jr. from his previous fights against Tyron Woodley from the 1st and 2nd fight I have seen changes in his style he is like adapting quite fast in his 1st match with Woodley I can see some advantage but maybe there might be some that will say Tyron Woodley was paid to lose I really think not if this is the case then the fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. will be a win again by Jake Paul, but if not that 2nd fight against Woodley was an adaptive Jake Paul and downloaded all the movement of Woodley, I am pretty sure Jake Paul has that,

[Welsh]

The thing is people asked to see him fight a pro boxer, and in his defence he went for Tommy Fury who is reasonably established. It isn't his fault that he pulled out, regardless of the circumstances. He tried to fight a pro boxer with a decent reputation. Alright, I believe that reputation is more because of his affiliations with his brother, rather than his boxing ability, but he is taking steps up.

Jake knows how to pick his opponents, and he has enough hype, and fame behind him that boxers, and MMA fighters are willing to get knocked out by him just for the pay day. So, he can basically select opponents who he thinks will make him look good, as well as have a relatively easy day in that ring. Therefore, Jake is likely always going to be the favourite, until he can't cherry pick his opponents any more.

I know you might say that cherry picking isn't exactly making a statement, but name me one fighter in the last couple of years that didn't get cherry picked fights. Even some of the biggest names in modern boxing had easy fights.

The problem with this bout is their hidden contract which they are the only one who knows about it. As we already know these guys are not really boxers who will gonna step up and take down anyone who blocks them to become the number 1 pound for pound king in their weight division. Rather their fight is just for merely entertainment and some drama, the only people who take their bait are those who are blinded by their promotional drama which is most likely scripted to get the attention of audiences all around the world.

Sparring footage of Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr was released.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDICORuXuxY

Not certain how hard Hasim Rahman was trying there. Sparring partners are paid to take a beating and lose so the person preparing for a fight can get good work in.

Rahman's basic fundamentals need work. The way he lazy steps with his feet in slow motion is a terrible habit for a professional fighter to have. His punching technique however is good. Tommy Fury was a strange match up and Hasim Rahman Jr is yet another in a long line of oddball matchmaking choices. I would guess Jake Paul and his handlers see things in Hasim Rahman they think they can exploit. It will be interesting to see what approach and gameplan they take for this fight.

I think Connor wins too, but he's rusty and has been out of action for a while, so I don't think they'd be too far apart skillwise, other than Connor has a lot of fights both pro and amateur under his belt. Jakes trumps him on age as well and will have that underdog spirit and hunger. Connor did pretty well against Mayweather I thought and has knock out power as does Jake so it wouldn't be a big mismatch. I actually think it could be pretty close. I'd love to see it.

I know you might say that cherry picking isn't exactly making a statement, but name me one fighter in the last couple of years that didn't get cherry picked fights. Even some of the biggest names in modern boxing had easy fights.

He has to start off slow and build himself up. He's still essentially a newcomer to boxing and pros have dozens of fights before they start getting attention or moving up to the big leagues. Tommy Fury has had eight pro fights but has yet to fight anyone of note. It would be unwise of him to jump the gun and take on more than he can handle and I think the fights he's been taking - or tried to take - have been nice stepping stones. People will still complain after this fight that he hasn't fought anyone of note or not a 'proper' boxer as they would say of Tommy. If he gets past this I'd love to see the Tommy Fury fight next. Then maybe Nate Diaz or someone similar, and then maybe that would be a nice stepping stone to Connor or Mayweather or something. If Jake keeps building his brand and winning every fight that's put in front of him the superstars are going to come sniffing for that big, easy paycheque. He already has bad blood with Connor and Mayweather so these fights sell themselves. If Mayweather still hasn't paid Logan Jake might be apprehensive about taking that unless the money is in escrow. Logan probably got ripped off because he was naïve but I can't blame him for assuming that Floyd would pay him. If he still hasn't paid him then that's a total scumbag move.

I've never got why so many people jumped on Conor for that Mayweather fight. I'm also one of the few it seems that thought he did well. I mean he gassed out in typical Conor fashion, but he was going toe to toe with Mayweather, who is regarded as one of the best boxers, and for a few the best boxer. I can't say I agree he's the best ever, but he's definitely one of the best. So, for Conor to move to a sport he doesn't train in, and doesn't do, and put on that sort of performance I thought was good.

He gassed for sure, and quite frankly I thought the stoppage was very early. Conor fights better when he gets hurt, as do so many other fighters. He was just incredibly tired, you could see it.

The kid is a mastermind. Dissing Dana, Conor everyone that'll basically get him that massive fight, with a massive pay check, and he's doing it while building his career. I'll be honest I was initially very critical with Jake, but I know when to admit when I'm wrong. He's shown he has a love for boxing, he's shown dedication, and he has put on some decent fights. Everyone criticising him for fighting nobodies needs to take a step back, and see everyone fights nobodies at the start of their career, as you rightly point out.

In fact, Jake has a lot more notable names on his record, this soon in his career compared to Joshua, Fury, Mayweather even like I don't get why we're being so hyper critical just because he came from a background, which traditionally wasn't aligned with boxing. I think it's people being protective of their sport, rather than being fair to the individuals.

I agree on both parts. Connor did well and the ref did stop it a bit too early. Unless the fighter is clearly not defending and/or taking an onslaught then let the fight continue. Fight fans want to see a knock out at the end of the day and I think a lot of refs jump in a little too early. Connor was likely to get decked if the fight had of continued but that's what people want to see. I now refs have to have the health of the fighters as there number 1 priority, but they know what sport they're playing and unless the fighter is taking a dangerous amount of damage I think they should ease off the breaks a little.

If Jake keeps building his brand and winning every fight that's put in front of him the superstars are going to come sniffing for that big, easy paycheque.

I didn't care for Jake either but I've warmed to him. You need characters like him that are going to come in and shake up the sport. One thing he doesn't get enough credit is for championing higher pay for boxers and he puts his money where his mouth is. On his last fight every single fighter got the highest payday including Tommy Fury and that money came out of Jake's purse as he wanted them to be paid fairly. Not many people would do that. He also got Amanda Serrano her highest payday and I believe that fight was the first to pay female boxers 1 million each. They were getting nowhere close to that until he stepped in. I'm not sure they would have sold out Madison Square Garden either without him so he's doing his bit for female boxing as well. I think this is going to be a really tough fight for Jake but I'm hoping he knows something we don't. Surely he wouldn't have taken it if he didn't think he could win it comfortably. As I said before, I really hope he gets through this fight so we can see Tommy or maybe Connor next.

It will be an interesting exhibition fight and I won't get the chance slip to see if these guys will come up and share the same ring, surely it will be boxing, right? Because it will be crystal clear that Connor will definitely grill Jake Paul if their fight will happen in the octagon and there's no excitement about that. But if it's a boxing match then I guess that these two will have a great fight.

It was already clear that Mayweather will have the favor and advantage even before the fight started, but looking at the fight, McGregor's performance was really good than what I expected considering that boxing is not his forte and his muscle memories are trained to attack in a way that is prohibited in boxing just like what we saw on McGregor where he was frequently told by the referee not to do his thing because it's not allowed in a boxing match.

I think it will be an interesting fight if the match were mixed, 3 rounds of boxing and 3 rounds of MMA

It was already clear that Mayweather will have the favor and advantage even before the fight started, but looking at the fight, McGregor's performance was really good than what I expected considering that boxing is not his forte and his muscle memories are trained to attack in a way that is prohibited in boxing just like what we saw on McGregor where he was frequently told by the referee not to do his thing because it's not allowed in a boxing match.

I think it will be an interesting fight if the match were mixed, 3 rounds of boxing and 3 rounds of MMA

3 rounds of boxing and 3 rounds of pure MMA? Wow, that will be great to see if that kind of fight will happen but I think it will be impossible to wish for that because we know that the said sports are so different and MMA fighters will be at the advantage side unlike the boxer who only trained all his life using the fist.

Also, I don't think that Mayweather would be that dumb to accept that kind of fight where he would be embarrased.

There’s a zero percent chance that we’ll be seeing Mayweather in the octagon. He’s an elite fighter, but I’m guessing even the worst fighter on the UFC roster could easily end his career. He definitely won’t ever be in an MMA fight with McGregor. As much as I’d love to see it, there’s no way we ever will. Crazy to think it’s even a possibility.

Jake Paul is a good fighter although I must say he probably has bought over some fights he actually has the money to do so. But I think he has found his calling and making money from promoted fights is his calling I think recently I saw him in the World wrestling entertainment ring. But I don’t think he is ready for big fights, Andrew Tate once called him out but I really doubt if he is ready to take that fight fairly.

Yes, you're certainly right about that. It's really impossible to even consider that it will happen with Mayweather fighting in the Octagon especially if he will go against McGregor, I cannot imagine what would be the outcome of the fight because I'm really sure that Mayweather won't be the same anymore considering what McGregor could do to him in the octagon. But I would like to see that kind of fight someday, mixed MMA and Boxing kind of fight.
