It's just been confirmed what was already widely known that Jake will be fighting former UFC fighter Anderson Silva. I'm not really sure this is any tougher than Tyron Woodley given Silva's age but it won't be a push over either. Personally I was hoping Jake would get the Tommy Fury fight sorted but I guess we'll have to wait for that now. Hopefully Jake fights a true boxer after this because people won't stop complaining that he's only fighting washed up fighters way past their prime and that isn't going to change with this bout given Silva is pushing 50.

[ChiBitCTy]

Just saw this news. I am so sick and tired of this kid and his brother fighting these old dudes who aren’t even boxers. I mean Anderson Silva is 47 years old. I guess if I could fight someone who played a different sport, is much older and past their prime yet still make millions of dollars I’d do it to. I just want to see these dudes actually fight a legitimate boxer their own age.

Regardless I’ll be tuning in hoping for a Silva KO.

Well I would prefer a proper boxer and someone of similar age like Tommy Fury but Silva has taken up boxing now and fought twice in 2021 with two wins as well. The age is still an issue though, but I think this is still a risky fight for Jake. If he wins then people will just say the same thing they did about his other fights - too old, washed up, not a proper boxer etc and if he loses, well, then he's lost to an old, washed up, non-boxer. Jake really needs to keep a hold of that unbeaten record as it pushes his stock and hype up with every fight and once it's gone it's gone. If he doesn't fight a 'true' boxer next then he should just go back to YouTube boxing and try fight KSI if KSI has the balls for it.

This could be fun fight to watch and I am expecting for Jake Paul to release new provocations towards Dana White and UFC payment system.
Age difference is big and last fights I watched Silva you could really see him getting slower and weaker, and boxing is going to be even harder for him.
It's surprising that some bookies made Silva a slight favorite in this fight, but lets see exact rules and odds from more bookies.

I completely agree! Jake Paul is not even a real boxxer in my eyes. He is just an influencer with too much time on his hands. He cannot face real opponents so he chooses aged boxxers because then he might even stand the tiniest of chances. That being said I really really hope that Jake Paul gets his lights knocked out hard. I want to see Anderson Silva embarrass Paul like he deserves. And that actually very well might happen. Even though Anderson Silva is 47 years old, he is by no means a pushover. In fact, I think Jake Paul severly miscalculated his chances at winning. Anderson da Silva is a a former UFC Middleweight Champion and holds the record for the longest title reign in UFC history.

And for good reason too!

People need to stop watching these fights then they will magically go away as there won't be any money in it.  I watched the first couple I will admit but they were boring at best.  How much money these dudes making off the fight is that public?

[YOSHIE]

The fact that Paul believes Silva is an all-round boxer is acknowledged directly by Paul, but Paul still wants to fight Silva next October 29, it was strengthened again by Ariel on twitter who stated Paul vs. Silva is officially against Paul, the schedule that has been set is only eight rounds.

I'm sure Paul is excited to want to do a fight with Silva, because he believes Paul can beat Silva like he did to Askren MMA professional boxer yesterday 2021, why I say that, because I saw one of Paul's words that he tweeted.

In his fight announcement, Paul also tweeted, “My toughest test yet. I respect the legend, but he must be exterminated.

In Paul's tweet I took one conclusion, Paul ambition to beat Silva in boxing fight next october, I'm sure everything will turn around if Paul's goal is to annihilate the UFC legend boxer.

[OgNasty]

I’m not sure how I feel about this fight. I’m glad Silva is getting paid, but he’s old. I imagine his friends and family probably wish he was done fighting before he does damage to himself that will hurt his final years. I’m sure this will probably be the biggest payday of his life though, so I’m glad he’s getting his bag and I hope this is his last fight. As for Jake… At some point he’ll fight a real fighter in his prime, but for now I’m glad he’s getting some old guys paid.

Silva is not a pushover, I have read in one article that boxing is his first love and he beat one of the top middleweight in Julio Cezar Chavez Jr. now if you have that name in one of the boxers that you have beaten, then you are not just an ordinary boxer, I have seen Silva fought in his MMA days and his fight against Chavez Jr, I hope Silva will not too confident and he will take the fight seriously so he can handle Jake Paul's first loss.

I was about to say Silva isn't a push over but you beat me.  Though the concern here is the age factor since Silva is already 47.  But as I watch the previous fight of Silva, he still has the move reason why he got a split decision win against Chavez Jr.  I don't know much about the caliber of Jake Paul, many say Jake Paul has the KO punch since he easily KO'ed majority of his opponent but I do not think he will effectively release his powerful punches because Silva is good at footwork and punching in an angle that his opponent will have a hard time countering. 

[Yogee]

I would love to see this go past five rounds but Silva's chin is already gone when it was exposed by Weidman years ago. He's good and versatile but he's definitely getting hit and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes out once Paul's gloves touches them "glass".

Yeah you’ve got some great points here. I wasn’t aware that Anderson Silva had started boxing. That’s of course a good thing if you’re rooting for him like I will be. The age is the biggest issue, I mean a 20 something versus an almost 50 year old is just crazy.

It will be interesting to see when he actually schedules a fight with a legitimate boxer and someone his own age. I guess we’ll see how this one goes first.

Yeah true that. I certainly didn’t say I was gunna shell out the 76 bucks or whatever it’s going to cost. I would I imagine that both guys are like to get at minimum a million +.

[bittraffic]

It will be fun to see Jake fall down to the ground and stop looking down at the UFC fighters but he actually has the chance to also KO Silva. Silva is not very mobile because of his leg injury, seems very delicate for him to do some side steps that might crack again. When you get old, your bones get brittle and brittle. Not much difference in their reach so Jake could also throw jabs from a distance. It's all just timing.

[harizen]

The majority of those he KO'ed are already aged and out of their prime. There's even a former basketball player on his record lol.

In fairness, Jake Paul knows the basics of boxing but if only his professional career started against those real boxers in their prime, his current reputation won't be that bad. As for Silva, his experience is the only foundation here in this fight. Regardless of his dominance during his prime, we can't hide the fact that at 47 years of age, his body might not cooperate anymore with his will. I don't want to support or even watch this fight too but as for other people, they want to witness the first loss of Jake Paul in his career so they might want to spend money here.

Is this fight sanctioned as a professional fight? I don't know how they were able to convince Silva to accept this fight aside from money.

[sunsilk]

This fight is just another match for the sake of clout but yeah, let's take it that Anderson is getting paid decently for agreeing to this match against Jake Paul. I do agree that soon, it's better for him to challenge the real boxers so there's nothing to reason anymore.

Well, this is their niche and expect that there will be more of these fights because they earn a lot from this.

You can easily google this info. The fights wouldn't be made if there wasn't money in it and when they do well there's an insane amount to be made.

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1188184/ksi-jake-paul-clash-pay-per-view-sales-reported-230000-buys-most-recent-event/

The report says KSI’s fight night did 230,000 buys on DAZN in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and the USA.

This is fewer than Paul’s fights against Ben Askren and his first contest with Tyron Woodley, which did over 500,000 buys each. Although, KSI’s fight night has surpassed Paul’s most recent outing against the former UFC welterweight champion, which did 200,000 buys.

Quote tweeting the article, Paul said: “Bull**** aside, the PPV business ain’t easy.

“Congrats to KSI and his boxing company. Those are great numbers. The day we finally settle this, it will break the internet and do some big PPV numbers on Showtime. "

People like Jake are hoping they can build up to that mega-money fight against someone like McGregor or Mayweather which will come with a life-changing amount. Once Connor is done with the UFC I'm sure he'll start taking these boxing exhibition matches but for now he's stuck with the UFC and daddy Dana isn't going to let him fight a youtuber, especially not one he has beef with.

[robelneo]

Jake Paul considers this one, his biggest fight he has huge respect for Anderson Silva, and beating Silva will make the boxing community fully respect his caliber this is his answer to one of his interviews from last year, after Silva, the boxing community will take him seriously and maybe one day challenge a title holder in the future but of course, he needs a challenge and he should be under the boxing organization, that will be his biggest leap.

[yazher]

We all know that this fight is only for mere entertainment and there is nothing to be expected here because it's already been planned whatever gonna happen here. What is really curious is how they gonna exactly execute their plan. will it gonna be an unexpected knockout or another draw cause there's no way Anderson Silva with his great boxing skill and powerful punches will gonna be lost to this guy? unless some miracles happened and we want to see what kind of miracle would that be.

Its why his fights are also not listed in crypto bookies. I wouldn't however going to completely believe Jake can fix all his previous fights seeing that he had knockout UFC fighters before Silva.

If this isn't truly fixed, this fight will be risky for Jake. Silva can absorb or throw counter before Jake is even done with his combo.

[coin-investor]

Both fighters have a lot to lose in this fight, Silva has carved his legacy in the MMS kingdom and now he is making a name in boxing and so far he is doing great, if Paul beats him as he did against Woodley he can bid his boxing career goodbye, Jake Paul has a good winning streak so far, and he wants to continue that streak and he wants to get better opponents for every fight and Silva is the right but a risky choice, there's the possibility that Silva can end Paul's winning streak and his popularity.

But Paul needs to sustain his reputation and he needs to fight fighters that can arise the boxing community's interest,Silva is a perfect choice, looking forward to their first conference and their first face-off.

[Jawhead999]

You're wrong, this fight already listed on sportsbet. Silva is favorited here with 1.73x odds while Jake Paul is underdog with 2.00x odds, we might see another different odds when it's closer to date that the fight will happen.

But Paul needs to sustain his reputation and he needs to fight fighters that can arise the boxing community's interest,Silva is a perfect choice, looking forward to their first conference and their first face-off.

Of course Paul wouldn't want to lose since his career might ended, he's such like Mayweather who cherry pick his opponent in order to get clean record. Paul is 25 years old, while Silva is 47 years old, Silva almost 2x times older than Paul, it's not balanced.

Silva has nothing to lose with his old ages, he will do anything in order to get money.

We can only talk about age when the fighter's last fight shows that age, but those 47 years did not show up when he beat Chavez Jr. he is still sleek,  can punch hard, can last 10 rounds and that's big trouble for Jake Paul, but Paul with all those past wins is very comfortable that he will win against the legend, Silva already has the money in all those years and no money can match up if he will just go down like what Woodley did, I'm sure Silva will take the fight to the limit, the experience will carry Silva but I still see Paul winning by a close margin but it can still go either way.

[Welsh]

I'd prefer Tommy Fury, but honestly I feel like Tommy's trying to get free publicity rather than actually wanting that fight. I see him as a reality star more than a boxer, and I think the Fury family somewhat sees it the same way.

Anyway, Anderson Silva is a real test despite not being a proper boxer. He's got the skills, and evasiveness, maybe not so much these days, but it's a risky fight for Jake. You'd expect Jake to win, and I imagine the odds would reflect that, but if he doesn't then he's been up staged by a ageing MMA veteran.

I'd be absolutely shocked if he manages to make easy work of him on the other hand, so I don't think this is a easy fight. Unlike his previous fights, Anderson isn't gun shy, and knows how to box. So, we'll see some activity. I said in another thread though, I bloody hope he doesn't knock Silva out, as I'd be devastated.

Problem is that mma doesn't exactly crossover to boxing.  Not only is Silva too old boxing wasn't his sport to begin with.  Not sure what people are exactly expecting out of him.  Should be another great boxing match.

Indeed Silva is an MMA fighter but his discipline includes boxing. He also trained in a boxing gym during his MMA moments.  The only concern I see here is Silva being old at 47 but he has proven himself when he beats Chavez Jr. a champion-caliber boxer who is far more experienced and technical than Jake Paul.

I am not saying that Silva has the advantage but I believe the fight will go either way depending on who performs better.

[Welsh]

Problem is that mma doesn't exactly crossover to boxing.  Not only is Silva too old boxing wasn't his sport to begin with.  Not sure what people are exactly expecting out of him.  Should be another great boxing match. 

Anderson has already had like 3/4 bouts, and beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, which I do recall he was a heavy underdog in the fight. Also beat Tito Ortiz, and both of these were like a year or so ago. So, arguably he has the same experience that Jake Paul has, but in additional also has MMA experience. So, this isn't a boxer vs a MMA guy, at least not completely. Silva made his bread, and butter in MMA, but he's had a decent boxing career, albeit only a short one.

Jake Paul technically is fighting someone who has fought in boxing before, whereas before they hadn't.

That means Silva can have a good chance of winning here, but still it will depend on how they planned this fight.
Skills wise, Silva has it and he even beat his opponent before unexpectedly which makes him in the mainstream again, he's old but he can still be good.
Jake Paul on the other hand are quiet picky on his opponent, he wont fight if he is not confident about this, so let's see if this can be an exciting fight or just an ordinary fight.

[Welsh]

What a lot of people are forgetting is Silva's wins were within a year or two which means despite him ageing he's still won some fights, and I do believe he was the underdog in at least one of those. Obviously, he's lost before in boxing, but that doesn't really mean much since Jake as a young career also.

Jake has fought some rather lack luster opponents at the very start. Woodley being a decent opponent, but he can only fight what's put in front of him. I think Silva surprises everyone, although I still think Jake takes it, and with the bookies pricing it for Silva to be the favourite, Jake looks like a tasty bet to make...if only I could watch it while travelling.

[coin-investor]

Jake Paul technically is fighting someone who has fought in boxing before, whereas before they hadn't.

I agree this is the first time that he is fighting a fighter with a good background in boxing, Silva is still a legendary figure in MMA but he made a good transition from MMA to boxing I read in one article that his first love is really boxing, Silva is very much different from other MMA who transition to boxing only to get knocked out by Jake Paul, we're not going to see a cherry-picked fight here, Jake paul is extending his luck because of his past successes on MMA fighters, I'm sure this is a blockbuster again and Jake Paul is still going to make money.

are we going to see the first loss of jake paul here?   paul is the underdog this time. seems that bookies are considering silva's record, though mostly in MMA. but yes, he knows boxing. if Paul will taste his first loss, don't know if he will still continue his exhibition matches? the edge of Paul here i believe is just his age.

[acroman08]

it's finally official.

okay, I am interested in watching this(not paying for PPV of course) because I am curious how Anderson Silva will fare against his younger opponent. also, I'd like to see how the guy who won against Julio Chaves jr( a boxer with a good boxing record) fights again.

anyway, I haven't read much about this fight, is this fight going to be another exhibition match or an official fight?

Probably not an exhibition. Jake was knocking MMA guys including Askren. If knocking down terribly is a possibility, you can't call it a fixed fight.

They are both big men and one is younger and very competent as well. They could both knock out each other, it's just who could project a timed hit that could outbalance the other. If this is a poll, I think Jake will get more votes.

People this whole thing where people think a 47 year old Silva who boxed 3 times is a good fight to watch is insane.  Mma and boxing are 2 wildly different sports even though sometimes they look the same.  For a natural boxing fan watching this crap it's cringy when ypu watch these guys try to box "professionally".  It's fun for a round like a car accident ypu can't look away but to think it's a solid match to watch is.... 

[Peanutswar]

Recently notice that jake paul always make a challenge with that professional in the world of UFC fighting and some of his viewers are entertained with this match up and of course, there's a possible earning it might bring in both sides and this man always jump in into different field of possible earning afaik he also dive in into the crypto world and NFTs. For sure this game will bring entertainment with the different field of sports match,

I watched Silva just a year ago, and he looked good in the boxing ring, and went up against someone with 50 odd fights, and only a few losses. That's not something to turn your nose up too. That wasn't expected, like I said he was the underdog in that fight. So, despite being 46 at the time I believe, he still did a job, and looked good doing it. Jake obviously is younger, but it's unlikely that Silva has aged so much in a year that he doesn't at least put on a decent performance giving the chance.

Obviously, there's a chance Jake knocks him out early since Silva has been known to leave openings, but that's mainly due to his fighting style. I believe he was knocked out way back when he first entered the boxing scene, if my memory serves me correctly that is.

[danherbias07]

No disrespect to Anderson Silva but I think what the fans are telling is true that he is just fighting those washed-up players. Jake is actually the one avoiding being matched with strong fighters in his same age or near it.
But even with that, I will be rooting for Silva to knock the hell down that Jake and see to it that he will get more fights after he wins this. After all, I am a Silva fan back when he was a champion in MMA.
It will also set to stone that Jake is really weak then probably aim to prove himself by fighting young boxers.

[Darker45]

I'm not really excited with this fight. Of course, this is still something that is made purely to boost or at least maintain Jake's popularity. He's just fortunate that he's able to convince a legend to join him in his show. He must have offered Anderson an enticing amount. It's sad that Anderson will have to accept the offer. From a real and tough fighter, he's now making himself a showman. I just hope and pray that he won't get really hurt by Paul given that he's almost half the latter's age.

I'd be absolutely shocked if he manages to make easy work of him on the other hand, so I don't think this is a easy fight. Unlike his previous fights, Anderson isn't gun shy, and knows how to box. So, we'll see some activity. I said in another thread though, I bloody hope he doesn't knock Silva out, as I'd be devastated.

Tommy Fury was always more a reality television personality than boxer I see no real opponents in Tommy's boxing record list. But I see a lot of tough opponents among Anderson Silva list. However, we know that Silva is a knockout artist, but he is a muay thai or kickboxer on first place. Lots of his knockouts are made by knees and kicks, and ground and pound. Such skill wont help a lot in a boxing fight. I see this fight going to be very close. If Silva starts doing his taunts, then Jake would have a good advantage in this fight.

P.S. If Jake wins, Dana White would cry, as his another UFC champion was beaten by fake boxer

[coin-investor]

I'm not really excited with this fight. Of course, this is still something that is made purely to boost or at least maintain Jake's popularity. He's just fortunate that he's able to convince a legend to join him in his show. He must have offered Anderson an enticing amount. It's sad that Anderson will have to accept the offer. From a real and tough fighter, he's now making himself a showman. I just hope and pray that he won't get really hurt by Paul given that he's almost half the latter's age.

We might just be in for a big surprise although this is an exhibition fight this is not the kind of exhibition that we see in WWE wrestling where everything is rehearsed, this boxing exhibition is a true fight they can hurt each other, knock each other out, Silva will not get paid to get knocked out here he has a legacy to protect, I don't know why there are opinions that those who fought Jake Paul are paid to lose, they just don't have the skill needed to win in boxing.

[Cling18]

To be honest, I find this fight unfair for Silva because he deserves a better opponent which is a real boxer. We all know that he's a promising boxer so it will be better for him to face someone who has the same stamina and same sports description. For me, Jake Paul's sports are quite different from Silva's so he should be facing an opponent that would fit his stamina as well.

I would agree that this is an unfair fight for Silva.  He's clearly too old to be boxing and he was never a great boxer to begin with.  Watching his boxing matches, he almost never defends himself and relies on throwing haymakers at unskilled opponents.  This should be an easy win for Jake despite what people will try to bill this as.  MMA, Silver wins easily.  Boxing, I think he's a huge underdog.  His skills are less polished than Jake's, he's old as hell, and he hasn't been training like Jake has.  He's throwing his reputation to the wolves for a paycheck.  I hope it's a big one for him.

While Silva can throw hands, this doesn't mean that he's a good boxer. I agree that the dude almost always forgets defending himself and leaves his face open for a punch. He has some hits on him but without a decent defense I wouldn't think he can outlast Jake which is a lot younger and is training consistently. Silva is an MMA beast, but on boxing he's just average at best. He's in this for the money obviously, as all the other fighters who squared with Jake before.

[serjent05]

People this whole thing where people think a 47 year old Silva who boxed 3 times is a good fight to watch is insane.  Mma and boxing are 2 wildly different sports even though sometimes they look the same.  For a natural boxing fan watching this crap it's cringy when ypu watch these guys try to box "professionally".  It's fun for a round like a car accident ypu can't look away but to think it's a solid match to watch is....  

I watched Silva just a year ago, and he looked good in the boxing ring, and went up against someone with 50 odd fights, and only a few losses. That's not something to turn your nose up too. That wasn't expected, like I said he was the underdog in that fight. So, despite being 46 at the time I believe, he still did a job, and looked good doing it. Jake obviously is younger, but it's unlikely that Silva has aged so much in a year that he doesn't at least put on a decent performance giving the chance.

Obviously, there's a chance Jake knocks him out early since Silva has been known to leave openings, but that's mainly due to his fighting style. I believe he was knocked out way back when he first entered the boxing scene, if my memory serves me correctly that is.

Same here, at first I thought Silva won't have any chance but knowing and watching his fight against Chavez Jr.  My point of view changes. As I remember Chavez Jr. isn't a push-over boxer with 61 professional fights and a former WBC middleweight champion from 2011 to 2012[1].  Silva did a good performance there winning a split decision.

But of course, the fight can go either way, Jake Paul being young and equipped with KO punches, there is a possibility that Silva might not see the punches coming and got KO'ed by Paul.  Or vice versa.  If the fight ended in the judge's decision, if Silva do the same performance he did against Chavez Jr. then Silva might win the judge's decision.

Silva fought a very diminished version of Chavez Jr. who didn't even bother to make weight for that fight. It wasn't even a very convincing win, it was just a matter of Chavez Jr. making very little effort to get a victory. It does nothing to show us what level Anderson Silva is at. Since then his only other fight was against a washed up Tito Ortiz making his boxing debut and then he was inactive for the past 12 months. At 47 years old, very minimal boxing experience, and a long layoff I don't see any way in which Silva can win.

[Natalim]

This is boxing, not a fight where Silva won a championship. Anderson Silva is already 47 years old, I don't think he can keep up with  Jake Paul who are still young and active as a boxer, if this is UFC, then I might bet on Anderson, but hey, it's boxing.

Maybe Jake Paul is trying to keep his undefeated record and will never fight a boxer that could potentially give his record a 1L.

Right, but isn't Anderson himself washed up? That's what people are claiming. So, a washed up fighter beat another washed up fighter, right? Jake Paul isn't champion material...at least not yet. I hope people realise that Jake is at the beginning of his career, and he isn't a seasoned fighter. That means he needs to build up to better opponents. Silva being one which is a legendary figure in MMA, and has a decent boxing record, especially recently is a decent opponent. Jake also tried to fight Tommy Fury, and people were making excuses that he was washed up. It's not like you'd put Jake against a top five, he hasn't even earned that right.

I think it's a good fight, and it's definitely not a sure win for either of them, which is what makes the fight interesting.

Jake Paul isn't an elite fighter though. He is just young and active. He is not the kind of boxer who is well experienced and have fought elite fighters. Even if Anderson is washed up, his advantage would be the experience. Yeah boxing and UFC is a different combat sport. You'll probably exhaust yourself faster in boxing than in UFC. Keeping up against Jake Paul won't gonna be a huge problem for Anderson. He can do that, but it could potentially make the fight boring.
However, I don't see any huge advantages in either of them.

I find MMA faster paced, although boxing is a lot of the time a little more about sussing out your opponent, and finding gaps. I tend to find a lot of boxing fights are fighting for points where as in UFC damage, and finishing your opponents are actively encouraged by the organisation.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but they're just different. I actually struggle to watch boxing these days since watching UFC, and I used to be quite partial to some boxing. I only watch the heavyweights, and admittedly Jake Paul fights. Also some Loma fights.

I don't get why everyone is bashing on a young fighter who has a couple of fights, going against other beginner boxers. It's like they expect Jake Paul to go against Cancelo or someone, but then they'd be saying Cancelo took a easy fight. I don't think there's any winning in this, people just won't be happy regardless.

I say good on Jake. He's made a career in multiple industries, and quite frankly has the boxing purists actually wanting to watch his fights now, whether that's to route against him or not. Mayweather built a career on people wanting to see him get knocked out.

Although Anderson knows how to box, he is not really a boxer. I saw him box and he is really awkward. It's crystal clear in his movements that boxing is not his domain. And with his age, I won't be surprised if Jake Paul would even knock him down or out.

And what's up with these retirees entering another sport as professionals? They debut in their old age.

Jake is protecting his record while fighting against big old names to gain a big audience. Jake knows his business well.

I guess this is why fight fans is going to buy the tickets, Paul isn't elite but Anderson has experience but no longer in his prime. And probably fans are going to watch because they think that Anderson has the chance to knock out the arrogant Jake Paul. As for boxing vs UFC, I'm a fan of both. So this is going to be a different experience for Anderson although he has beaten JCC already inside the ring. But Jake Paul wanted to continue his hype so let's see and hopefully this fight is not going to be stage or rig.

Money. It's quite well known that the UFC doesn't pay very well. Other promotions do pay more I believe, but they just aren't as well recognised as the UFC. So, fighters tend to make their money in boxing before retirement. Plus, the sports are somewhat linked being combat sports, so it's a gentle transition to boxing most of the time. Especially, if they were primarily a striker in MMA.

Like don't get me wrong, I think Jake wins here especially since I know Anderson's style he definitely leaves openings which I think Jake is quick enough, and agile enough to take advantage of. However, I don't think it's an easy fight like everyone is saying it is.

Indeed. That's an open issue with the UFC. They don't share much with their fighters, even the biggest stars that they have. I don't understand why they have to be stingy with the very fighters that provide them revenue.

It's not a smooth transition most of the time, though. They're already old and it's really hard to make a transition when you've been trained and were fighting differently all your life. They're both combat sports but they're different disciplines. MMA strikers aren't boxers.

Jake will probably win here. Anderson was way quicker than Jake but that was a long time ago, not now.

Smooth transition as in they've already got the skills, they just need to change their style a little bit. However, most MMA guys go onto fighting bigger names, and of course a elite boxer is going to have an advantage in the discipline they've trained for all their life, compared to someone who has learned multiple disciplines at once. I'd say if they picked smaller names, they'd have a lot more success.

Some MMA strikers are boxers. They come from boxing to MMA. That's quite clear in certain fighters. It's much easier to go from MMA to boxing, than it's the other way around. I think that's something most of us can agree on.

Like I said, Jake probably does it, and he might even knock Silva out since Silva isn't the best defensively. However, I think the key here is Jake hasn't really been threatened in his previous fights since they never really let go. Silva is going to let go, and put volume out there. So, we'll actually see Jake defending for once.

I agree. If these MMA fighters are moving into boxing, they should start from the bottom of the ladder.

What I mean is that if you're a striker in the MMA, it doesn't automatically make you a boxer. Although I agree that it's easier to shift from MMA to boxing than the other way around, it doesn't mean it's actually easy. Many MMA fighters are already catching their breath upon reaching the third and final 3-minute round. You can't survive boxing with that fighting condition.

Silva's volume may now be soft and in slow-mo. So Jake could still be confident that Silva is not anymore the dangerous spider the moment they'll face each other inside the ring.

[Welsh]

Many MMA fighters are already catching their breath upon reaching the third and final 3-minute round. You can't survive boxing with that fighting condition.

Yeah, many of them will underestimate the amount of rounds in boxing, plus the pacing is all different. I don't think Silva will find that a problem though, he's already been the distance with a decent fighter. So, he should know how to pace himself. In fact, you could argue that Jake hasn't had the experience on a fight night going the distance yet, and how's that going to effect him?

Although, Jake will probably be fine, I'm sure he's done the rounds in sparring. I'd probably put money on Jake to stop Silva since the value is there, and I know that Silva lives on the edge in terms of defense. I won't be since I'm away, but for anyone putting a bet on it might be worth considering.

I'm honestly surprised why Anderson is still the favorite in this fight when he's the much older man. Jake Paul is at the top of his physical condition and has been very busy with boxing lately with a total of 3 fights last year alone. Betting on Jake Paul is indeed worth my money if only I don't want Silva to win. But because I want Silva to win this match, I'd rather just watch this fight. I wouldn't place a bet on him either. He's probably gonna lose.

[hilariousetc]

I'd prefer Tommy Fury, but honestly I feel like Tommy's trying to get free publicity rather than actually wanting that fight. I see him as a reality star more than a boxer, and I think the Fury family somewhat sees it the same way.

Anyway, Anderson Silva is a real test despite not being a proper boxer. He's got the skills, and evasiveness, maybe not so much these days, but it's a risky fight for Jake.

So, we'll see some activity. I said in another thread though, I bloody hope he doesn't knock Silva out, as I'd be devastated.

I dunno. I think he's kinda desperate for this fight given his social media posts. He couldn't do anything about the broken rib the first time and now it's the visa issues which prevent him from fighting in the states, though given that Tommy didn't even bother going to the embassy to try sort it had made me question his motives. I still think this is the best fight for both of them. Tommy will be getting next to nothing for his fights on Tyson's or whoever's undercard whereas he's going to get millions for fighting Jake and it's going to give him huge publicity in the states where he's a essentially a nobody right now or at the most just Tyson's little brother but I'm sure most people still don't know who he is.

It will be fun to see Jake fall down to the ground and stop looking down at the UFC fighters but he actually has the chance to also KO Silva. Silva is not very mobile because of his leg injury, seems very delicate for him to do some side steps that might crack again. When you get old, your bones get brittle and brittle. Not much difference in their reach so Jake could also throw jabs from a distance. It's all just timing.

Problem is that mma doesn't exactly crossover to boxing.  Not only is Silva too old boxing wasn't his sport to begin with.  Not sure what people are exactly expecting out of him.  Should be another great boxing match. 

I find this to be a lazy criticism. Boxing is still a huge part of MMA if not the most utilised combat style in the sport. It's not like UFC fighters can't throw a punch or something. Sure, Ben Askren was terrible but he was widely known for his grappling and he used to just take it to the ground straight away. He was so predictable that Masvidal knew exactly what he was going to do and kneed him in the head right out the gates. At least Jake is taking it up a notch with every fight as he should, but let's see how far he can take this. I'm sure he's working up to something big if he keeps this momentum going.

Problem is that mma doesn't exactly crossover to boxing.  Not only is Silva too old boxing wasn't his sport to begin with.  Not sure what people are exactly expecting out of him.  Should be another great boxing match. 

Anderson has already had like 3/4 bouts, and beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, which I do recall he was a heavy underdog in the fight. Also beat Tito Ortiz, and both of these were like a year or so ago. So, arguably he has the same experience that Jake Paul has, but in additional also has MMA experience. So, this isn't a boxer vs a MMA guy, at least not completely. Silva made his bread, and butter in MMA, but he's had a decent boxing career, albeit only a short one.

Jake Paul technically is fighting someone who has fought in boxing before, whereas before they hadn't.

People this whole thing where people think a 47 year old Silva who boxed 3 times is a good fight to watch is insane.  Mma and boxing are 2 wildly different sports even though sometimes they look the same.  For a natural boxing fan watching this crap it's cringy when ypu watch these guys try to box "professionally".  It's fun for a round like a car accident ypu can't look away but to think it's a solid match to watch is.... 

Have you even watched Jake's fights? If you didn't know who he was and caught the fight on TV you wouldn't question whether he was a boxer or not and this is something echoed by a lot of respected fighters and commentators like Joe Rogan etc. He got one of the best KOs of the year against Woodley and Woodley has won a fair few UFC fights with KOs and is no pushover. The only criticism I would have of this fight is Silva's age but he's still a beast and is beating people in boxing so it seems a fairly fair fight given Jake's experience level right now.

[serjent05]

Silva's volume may now be soft and in slow-mo. So Jake could still be confident that Silva is not anymore the dangerous spider the moment they'll face each other inside the ring.

Aside from that, the gloves used in MMA are lighter and less padded so the strike or punches in MMA is far more devastating than punches in boxing having the gloves are heavier and more padded than in MMA which nullifies some power from the striking force.  So definitely, Jake will be receiving a less powerful strike due to the gloves difference + aging factor.  That is also another reason why most MMA (if not familiar with boxing gloves) got tired easily in boxing due to the weight of the gloves.

[OgNasty]

I was surprised to hear Dana White say that this is a good fight.  He seems to think that Anderson Silva can outbox Jake Paul even with the age difference.  I'm not so sure, but the fact that Dana thinks it's going to be a good fight gives me a little hope that Anderson Silva can overcome the obvious hurdles in his path to win this fight.  As much as I want to see a KO, I really hope that Jake doesn't KO Silva.  It's such a bad look to fight with that age difference...  I really hope Silva's old man strength comes through.

[Finestream]

This could be fun fight to watch and I am expecting for Jake Paul to release new provocations towards Dana White and UFC payment system.
Age difference is big and last fights I watched Silva you could really see him getting slower and weaker, and boxing is going to be even harder for him.
It's surprising that some bookies made Silva a slight favorite in this fight, but lets see exact rules and odds from more bookies.

Silva might be close to his retirement as his age could be a big factor if ever he loses in this fight. While Paul is still very active and confident, but I just hope he will fight like a pro boxer that shows high experience and not like a pretender as he was viewed by many people who have seen his previous fights. This is likely to be the scenario when the two fighters are not really boxers in profession as they’re obviously famous in different fields before they enter the world of boxing.

[serjent05]

I watched the fight between Jake Paul and Tyrone Woodley[1].  Jake Paul isn't that impressive.  You can see the traces of being a beginner on his move.  He is way too open when he throws punches which can be easily exploited by a good boxer.  He is also already gasping for air at the third round.  So all in all, watching both the performance of Silva against Chavez Jr. and Jake Paul against Tyrone Woodly, I can say Silva as a boxer is way more polished.  Besides if the concern is the defense of Silva since he somehow leaves himself open, I think the same concern should be thrown to Jake Paul.  If the age factor doesn't become a variable factor here(and KO punch), I believe Silva has a better chance of winning the fight.

These days marketing tactics are well followed unlike the players. Jake Paul is young and this gives him higher odds. For Anderson Silva age factor is a big setback, but the experience always have got the best answer. When everything is for money, any kind of result can come at the end of the fight.

[FinneysTrueVision]

I don't get why everyone is bashing on a young fighter who has a couple of fights, going against other beginner boxers. It's like they expect Jake Paul to go against Cancelo or someone, but then they'd be saying Cancelo took a easy fight. I don't think there's any winning in this, people just won't be happy regardless.

I say good on Jake. He's made a career in multiple industries, and quite frankly has the boxing purists actually wanting to watch his fights now, whether that's to route against him or not. Mayweather built a career on people wanting to see him get knocked out.

Jake Paul has been a pro for 2.5 years already. He is not just a beginner anymore. It is time to step up his level of competition beyond no-hoper washed up athletes if he wants to be treated as anything besides a freak show attraction. It's not a great sign for the state of boxing when this kind of garbage is getting so much hype and media attention.

Jake is just hated so much because of his bravado. that's why most wanted him fall. but this guy is smart. he probably is watching Silva work out and find out what Silva can do at his age before making some deals for both of them to fight. if he is picking a fight, it shouldn't be anything to be surprised as well. but Silva could actually have the edge against Jake.

It's just been confirmed what was already widely known that Jake will be fighting former UFC fighter Anderson Silva. I'm not really sure this is any tougher than Tyron Woodley given Silva's age but it won't be a push over either. Personally I was hoping Jake would get the Tommy Fury fight sorted but I guess we'll have to wait for that now. Hopefully Jake fights a true boxer after this because people won't stop complaining that he's only fighting washed up fighters way past their prime and that isn't going to change with this bout given Silva is pushing 50.

I am definitely hyped about this match. Anderson Silva is a legend. He was the first real MMA fighter I followed and watched most of his matches live on TV. Never will I forget the evening where Anderson Silva was fighting Vitor Belfort. Staying up the whole night because the match was really early in the morning, we were watching the MMA fights before the main event and got drunk while being so excited for the Silva match. When the knock out happened so fast we got completely crazy, there was no sleep possible that night. The fight now vs Jake Paul is nice because we can see Anderson again in action. I am a little bit concerned about the age difference as Anderson was already too old for his last few professional fights. And then there is the part where they only fight in a box match. I understand that Jake Paul is a boxer and wants to meet his opponents on his turf, but why not make a rematch in their profession? It would be way more interesting if the first match was in the box ring and the second match in the octagon.

These days marketing tactics are well followed unlike the players. Jake Paul is young and this gives him higher odds. For Anderson Silva age factor is a big setback, but the experience always have got the best answer. When everything is for money, any kind of result can come at the end of the fight.

Jake Paul should find himself a younger rival, otherwise the fights with retirees are getting a little boring. When you are 25 years old, and the opponent is almost wice as old as you, then it ceases to be interesting. I understand that for him it's just show and views, he makes money on it, but it's time to find more serious rivals for himself in order to earn more respect.

Jake Paul is cherry picker because he needs to protect his boxing record, funny to say but it's true. Enticing old retired basketball players, washed out MMA fighters (probably they were paid), might in the future fight some retired old actors from Hollywood. Fighting a younger guy or a real boxer will never happen, obviously the result is obvious. He's just tanking his stats because it has a value to offer and that will make them more money.

[qwertyup23]

Just saw this news. I am so sick and tired of this kid and his brother fighting these old dudes who aren’t even boxers. I mean Anderson Silva is 47 years old. I guess if I could fight someone who played a different sport, is much older and past their prime yet still make millions of dollars I’d do it to. I just want to see these dudes actually fight a legitimate boxer their own age.

Regardless I’ll be tuning in hoping for a Silva KO.

Man, I seriously agree with your statement.

These kinds of "exhibition fights" are just simply tiring to watch. Compared to the level of competition that these players used to do, I am pretty sure that they agreed to this fight mostly because of money. Maybe, the audience demands for these types of fight to happen (though I would not blame these fighters) but it somehow gives me the impression that it slightly degrades the value of boxing/fighting in these types of fights.

Nevertheless, I just hope that they give the crowd an interesting fight- not just simply a fight purely because of money.

We just never know, he keeps on winning, and he may target professional boxers to fight him if he keeps his string of winnings because will want more and the boxing community will continue to be irritated and challenge the way he knocks out his opponent if he beats Silva who is the closest he can fight as a pure boxer because Silva beats CHavez Jr and that was not an exhibition match then he'll go for a real boxer because he tasted victory, but that is if he beats Silva, and I doubt if Silva will easily give in.

[passwordnow]

Well, he really has to pick his opponent because, in every fight, he's always the main character. It's his show so he's the one to choose his challenger.

Unlikely to happen but he might give it a try if the hype is for real and too big to decline for him. That's where he's getting his radar if there are fans that would like to him fight depending on the hype it gets upon being challenged or advertised.

[virasisog]

I think there will come a time where he would really face someone that will test his real capability. He might always be picking his opponent but I'm sure that there will still be someone who will show off his real stamina in the ring. The spotlight shouldn't be focused on him all the time.

Well he will obviously cherry pick his opponent because his record is what makes his shit show matches interesting to the public. He is choosing not on prime fighter to match against him that already invested too much time on training. He is strong even though he is not a professional fighter compared to those pro player that he is picking that obviously not in the proper shape to the boxing fight.

I will be amazed by him if he will just go to professional and experience the real fight because there’s still money in it if he is really not afraid on real clash.

I'd love to see him fight SALT PAPI(in case you're not familiar with him). I saw the dude fight as an undercard on the recent KSI fight. among all the people who fought in that event he was one of the people who has the best stance and technique despite the fight only lasting for 20 sec(more or less)

Jake Paul has been a pro for 2.5 years already. He is not just a beginner anymore. It is time to step up his level of competition beyond no-hoper washed up athletes if he wants to be treated as anything besides a freak show attraction. It's not a great sign for the state of boxing when this kind of garbage is getting so much hype and media attention.

Two boxers backed out of the fight at the last moment against Jake Paul and he lost millions when Tommy Fury pulled out of the fight the second time and then Hasim Rahman Jr failed to fight citing weight issues and hence he wants to make up for that lost money and hence looking to fight another MMA veteran because he can bank on those fighters as they will show up to fight.

I appreciate the way Jake Paul is able to attract people to watch his fights and it is a great sign and he showed he can be the promoter rather than relying on others.

Man! I really thought that this is just an another exhibition fight of one of the Paul Bros. and thought that Jake just wanted to get himself on track and get heated because his fight against Rahman Jr. was cancelled. Surely, I am surprised that this is a professional boxing fight, so I guess this means that this is a debut for Anderson Silva as well.

Hopefully Jake fights a true boxer after this because people won't stop complaining that he's only fighting washed up fighters way past their prime and that isn't going to change with this bout given Silva is pushing 50.

And that won't be changed as he will still be viewed as a kind of boxer who just wanted to fight washed out fighters because in his 6 bouts, including this one, he still haven't faced a true professional boxer and adding Silva on his list will still be viewed as an exhibition fight in the eyes of the boxing fans.

[OgNasty]

It was a cool moment in the press conference for this fight when Anderson Silva, Jake Paul, & Logan Paul recreated a picture they took 13 years ago when the Paul brothers were just kids happy to meet Silva. Google it if you haven’t seen the side by side images. It’s pretty cool that they did that. Anderson Silva seems like a really great guy. I hope the fight goes well for him.

Found it. I am glad Anderson Silva can still remember it as he said in the press conference. If I am that, it's not easy to have a memory of those things especially when you banged in the head many times.
"Now I am fighting you." said Jake Paul.
There's no heat happening, everything is full of respect and Silva is also known for that so I guess it will just be up to who will win the fight.
But isn't it a bit difficult to fight someone you have nothing against but just respect?

In the name of entertainment they will still fight. I cant remember one Silva's fight that is boring enough so they didnt need to hype with trashings. Jake vs Anderson wouldn't be boring too unless they will prove the fight to just an exhibition once the result is a draw. He might as well be fighting youtubers like him.

As far as I know, Anderson Silva is a great fighter and if this fight is serious Jake Paul doesn't deserve to tarnish Anderson Silva's gloves, he doesn't deserve to risk Anderson Silva's boxing, he's amateur and mediocre with no business and the only reason people know who is he because of money and youtube. And as a professional fighter, he is a joke.
Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter of all time, this is not a match in any combat sport and it would be a shame for Anderson Silva to put up a fight.

[Balmain]

We all know that this fight is only for mere entertainment and there is nothing to be expected here because it's already been planned whatever gonna happen here. What is really curious is how they gonna exactly execute their plan. will it gonna be an unexpected knockout or another draw cause there's no way Anderson Silva with his great boxing skill and powerful punches will gonna be lost to this guy? unless some miracles happened and we want to see what kind of miracle would that be.

Of course, everything is a pre-arranged match, even the winner is already known. For us, the more the show is effective on both sides, the more the pleasure of watching will increase. It's nice to see only Anderson Silva around here, he's a 47-year-old mixed-fighting pro at the UFC, I don't need to tell his story. If it's going to be a real fight, Jake Paul's job is a little hard for me to say. Also, Anderson Silva is an active person, Jake Paul is making strong shots, I know that, but his opponent is the old wolf, Anyway, it's sure to be fun to watch.

[el kaka22]

I still can't make any sense on this "entertainment boxing" world that is going on with the Paul brothers. They were getting a lot of heat from that one video, and then they ended up moving to boxing and now they are making a killing from this as well. That doesn't really make any sense to me at all, why would anyone think that boxing for fun, between two people who rarely knows how boxing works, is worth watching?

Recently they branched out to other fighting style people to come and box with them, the whole Woods vs Jake was a big joke, Woods should have taken him very quickly, I guess age does make you worse, Silva is not young neither, it could be a trouble for him. Once the greatest fighter, now just a cash clown, very sad to see.

Woodley doesn't have any experience in boxing, that's why everyone are expecting Paul will win the fight.

If age is a main factor and you think Silva will not win this fight, why he's become favorited? not Paul? you can check the odds on sportsbet. Many people think Silva is a quite different boxer since he previously have fought 5 times and his latest 2 fights are when he's already 46 years old. Silva had beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. which is a professional boxer in 9 different weights, 61 total fights and currently still 36 years old.

[Daltonik]

Anyway, Silva in any case has an advantage over Paul, this is his experience, but the almost two-fold age difference minimizes this advantage, by the way, Paul says that he really wants to knock out Silva, but as he said with respect, or maybe not, I still wish Silva a victory.

[GxSTxV]

They are really destroying the beautiful history of boxing, i still have the same excitement when i watch old fights as Muhammed ali or Naseem Hamed, now these kids that keeps paying to play with old fighters that has nothing to do with boxing and feel proud when they win as beating a 50 yo man an achievement. Why not fighting on ufc with a good shape fighter? Jake paul is a joke and anderson silva is just looking for the money, someone should stop this!

I think we'd probably all like to see Silva win this fight.  I don't think he can though.  Is he a better fighter?  Sure.  He's so old though.  Once you hit 40 things start to change.  I get that Silva has been fighting forever so obviously he's more able to fight in his 40's than someone like myself, but I still find it hard to believe that he could beat a 20-something who is at his peak.  I will hope that Silva knocks Paul out, but I'll also hope that Silva doesn't get hurt or embarrassed out there.

I think it's actually just the opposite.  Boxing, much like Major League Baseball is struggling these days.  Gone are the days of the badass heavyweights that garner the attention of the world like Ali, Frazier, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis etc.  My love of boxing has certainly diminished due to the lack of big boy fighters these days.  Maybe UFC is partially to blame but the sport just isn't the same. 

Now I can't stand the Paul brothers, but I think it at least bring much needed attention to the sport, good or bad.  I also like some of the other celebrity fights like this past week with former NFL running backs Adrian Peterson and Leveon Bell fighting..these fights are entertaining !

This fight is not an exhibition fight mate, I already looked it up and found out that this will count as professional fight for Jake and pro-boxing debut for Silva's side. Aside from entertainment, Jake Paul will be so honored because he is now fighting the man whom he have pure respect ever since he is still a kid, Jake already looked up Silva.

I just hope that it won't be too clear that they are just both after the money without having an entertaining fight, I really hope so!

I disagree with you in this case, they are not destroying the beautiful history of boxing, they are adding colors and flavors to it.  Muhammed also has matches against none boxing people, so this kind of stuff is normal in boxing history.

Don't be a party pooper, just avoid it if it isn't your taste and let people who like this kind of stuff watch it to their full contentment.  .

Well good for them, sadly Silva won't be labeled as the oldest boxing debutant because a 52-year-old Paul Ianuzzi beats him to it, winning his debut fight via KO last 2022-07-15.[1]  As for Jake Paul, I don't mind him beating past prime fighters, he won't get the recognition boxing champion has until he beat them anyway.

If you are thinking this as a circus like the pro wrestling then you are mistaken. Jake Paul fights sanctioned bouts and you cannot fix fights like that . He might be selecting his opponents and that is how every boxer does and that does not mean that the fights are fixed .

Tyron Woods should have but he did not and he got flatlined face first, which means Jake Paul is not a joke and he have some skills as a boxer. Does it translates to elite boxers, he might not but he have the skills to compete.

Have you actually watched any of them fight? Jake is good, despite what people say about his opponents he's fighting much higher profile fighters than your typical new boxer. Thus, his record in five to ten years might be the best you've ever seen. He's not fighting no namers, everyone he has fought apart from the Youtuber fighters has been a fighter with a decorated career.

Plus, Logan Paul wasn't terrible in technique. He's just not a fighter in the same way that Jake is, and therefore hasn't got as much desire to be that fighter. He doesn't throw often enough for one, and there's practically no combos from him. Jake is different, and is legitimately a fighter with a skill set.

Age is not really a big factor in fights that can be viewed as an advantage, I mean, what can that age do if you're not equipped with the right tools to defeat an experienced veteran fighter who has a strong IQ? As for Jake Paul, he is not a so called professional boxer because he is just fighting MMA fighters who are way past their prime, and now this fight will add to that record he is boasting.

Jake Paul wants to knock out Anderson Silva but the question for that is, can he really do that? I doubt it. Maybe the opposite thing will happen

I have the same wish. If it does aim for money then don't make it look like that. Fight like it's for glory, respect, and reputation and not just because they will be paid in millions of dollars.
The boxing world had already been blemished by fighters who are acting to be knockout so badly to avoid being hurt more and just be paid without a bruise. This is why MMA is getting more attention than them.
This is not like a content being made by streamers anymore. It's a real fight and it must be entertaining just like it.

Well age does have an effect, and that's pretty evident with the decline of athletes across many sports. Plus, we know Silva has declined with age, he isn't the same fighter he was ten years ago, that's for sure. Although, he's still a threat that's quite obvious. Power doesn't really leave you with age, you sort of retain that for a while, technique is largely still there, it's the ability to keep up with the youngsters, and keep your form when you're tired, which is something you have to really train into yourself at a older age to be able to somewhat cope with it.

Yeah, Jake could knock out Silva. He clearly has the power, and Silva isn't the best defensively. It's a possibility, and probably where I'd put my money for the maximum return. However, isn't something I'd like to see happen.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Is it just me or is anybody else sick of the Paul brothers? I fully respect them as businessmen, they sure know how to market themselves & make money. I just wish they would leave combat sports alone, it makes a mockery of boxing that they are still pushing it. They still haven’t fought a moderate level boxer but the PPV still kills it. I don’t understand, they fight old MMA fighters & sometimes not even actual fighters. Somebody needs to put a stop to this circus.

I was before, but not really. I don't think Jake is making a mockery of the sport. Jake has dedicated himself for a couple of years now, and you look at the press conference he did with Anderson, and he's respectable, and he's not pulling any shenanigans to sell the fight.

While, I'm not going to stand here, and claim he has fought a moderate boxer as you put it, but who at this point in their career has? Technically, everyone starts off somewhere, and Jake is no different, apart from the fact he's actually fought some very known fighters, albeit it being from a different sport. Even the great boxers today didn't fight recognisable names at the start of their career.

Thinking skills of a person become less sharper through age same with the body agility. Silva IQ and thinking skills is not that sharp anymore that’s why his moves becomes slower and less agile base on his previous matches on pro. Brain thinks first before body reacts and if the human physical body became slower means his brain is getting slower to process data too.

Jake undergo special training dedicated on this sports so I’m sure he is prepared on this kind of match. He knew how smart Silva is inside the octagon so he might be developing a strategy to counter it.

He's still very good mind. Despite his older age he's still more dangerous, and better technically at striking than Jake's previous opponents. So, while yeah I think we all know he's a little old, and that ageing is showing on his ability, he's still a decent opponent for someone like Jake to fight at this stage in his career.

It's also worth noting there's been champions at around this age, quite recently in the UFC actually. Jake also isn't a world beater at this point so we aren't expecting him to fight others that are. I think it's a unrealistic that critics have, whereas fans actually realise he's going about it the right way for the longevity of his career. Just like any other boxer out there.

Thinking skills of a person become less sharper through age same with the body agility. Silva IQ and thinking skills is not that sharp anymore that’s why his moves becomes slower and less agile base on his previous matches on pro. Brain thinks first before body reacts and if the human physical body became slower means his brain is getting slower to process data too.

Yep. This why I think this fight will not be one-sided and Jake can give Silva a hell of fight because Silva is not that agile compared on his prime in UFC when he can dodge close punch. I acknowledge how good the fist skills of Silva before and Jake will not be able to defeat him even on boxing if Silva still have that moves but since he already aged as I already mention, Jake can give him a good fight even though he is facing the former champion in UFC.

I’m not reading the opinion of analyst here but I thought Jake will be the underdog on this fight?

[Jawhead999]

I’m not reading the opinion of analyst here but I thought Jake will be the underdog on this fight?

Yeah Jake Paul is an underdog in this fight, I think it's good since I see Paul has higher chance to win against Silva, so I definitely bet hit without any hesitant. Silva career is over since he's already old, similar like Mike Tyson where he accept anything if he's offered with money. I expect Paul will win via KO on the late round when Silva run out of his stamina, so he either survive and slowing down or being aggressive and tired.

[stadus]

This fight is not an exhibition fight mate, I already looked it up and found out that this will count as professional fight for Jake and pro-boxing debut for Silva's side. Aside from entertainment, Jake Paul will be so honored because he is now fighting the man whom he have pure respect ever since he is still a kid, Jake already looked up Silva.

I just hope that it won't be too clear that they are just both after the money without having an entertaining fight, I really hope so!

Well good for them, sadly Silva won't be labeled as the oldest boxing debutant because a 52-year-old Paul Ianuzzi beats him to it, winning his debut fight via KO last 2022-07-15.[1]  As for Jake Paul, I don't mind him beating past prime fighters, he won't get the recognition boxing champion has until he beat them anyway.

Unless Jake Paul can find that active professional boxer in the same division that is interested to fight him, but if he cannot, then he's just as good as his brother even though his records are all sanctioned as pro-fights. His only chance was to have a fight against Rahman Jr. but it seems that the latter is just playing with him.

I have the same wish. If it does aim for money then don't make it look like that. Fight like it's for glory, respect, and reputation and not just because they will be paid in millions of dollars.
The boxing world had already been blemished by fighters who are acting to be knockout so badly to avoid being hurt more and just be paid without a bruise. This is why MMA is getting more attention than them.
This is not like a content being made by streamers anymore. It's a real fight and it must be entertaining just like it.

Indeed! Exhibition fights is not that bad to see as long as the fighters who participated the said events will do their job in entertaining the people and their fans who have paid the ticket and PPV just to see them fight. Especially now, it's already expected that this fight will be jampacked because Silva will return in the spotlight.

[hilariousetc]

Age is not really a big factor in fights that can be viewed as an advantage, I mean, what can that age do if you're not equipped with the right tools to defeat an experienced veteran fighter who has a strong IQ? As for Jake Paul, he is not a so called professional boxer because he is just fighting MMA fighters who are way past their prime, and now this fight will add to that record he is boasting.

Of course age is a factor. You do not move or hit the same at 50 as you do at peak 25-30 or whatever. Everything is effected - stamina, speed, agility, recovery time + many more factors. You just can't keep going for as long as you could when you were in your prime not can you take as much damage. Anderson is no slouch but he's not in his 20s or 30s anymore either so age is a huge factor. If Jake was fighting Anderson at his prime at the same age Jake is now the odds would be greatly against him.

Jake Paul wants to knock out Anderson Silva but the question for that is, can he really do that? I doubt it. Maybe the opposite thing will happen

People said the same about Woodley and Jake got one of the best KOs of the year against him. If you tuned into a random boxing match and Jake was fighting on the undercard you wouldn't even question whether he was a boxer. He's certainly got the skills and a lot of respected boxing commentators and pundits say the same thing. The only thing counting against him is he's choosing fighters at the end of their careers but he's just getting started really and I'm sure he's building up to better, more age-appropriate fighters. It's only a matter of time really but baby steps are the best way to go about it right now given he obviously doesn't have the years of fighting amateur fighters have before they go pro. He tried to fight current pros in Rahman Jr and Tommy Fury but they both messed him about.

Yes, betting on Jake Paul is much more profitable as he is considered as underdog by the bookies while Silva is a heavy favorite. People might be confused because they probably know more about Silva than Jake Paul who is still struggling to be a full pledge boxer in the eyes of the people, but Jake is likely going to be the winner here and might defeat the former MMA fighter by a way of knockout especially when the fight drags on while Silva is grasping for air.

I fell for the same trap early on, I didn't really like him from the get go, due to his Youtube career, and the various stunts him, and his brother has pulled over the years. However, honestly over the more recent years I've come to respect both of them for different reasons. Logan Paul has really sorted his attitude out it seems due to that incident in Japan, and Jake Paul has shown some real grit, and sweat to make this boxing career.

Plus, you're absolutely right. If Jake Paul didn't have the career he had before coming into boxing, and therefore that child like reputation, people would probably be hyping him up a lot more than they have been. I know he says he wants to become world champion, and I definitely don't doubt he thinks that, I'm not quite sure he's going to ever be good enough for that, but honestly the early signs against okay opposition he's looked pretty damn decent I'd say.

I keep going back to the example, but Joshua or Fury didn't fight big names that were in their prime at the start of their careers either. This is simply just the normal thing to do. However, Jake has fought some decent opponents, just aged, and not exactly boxers. However, he has tried with the Tommy Fury fight.

[Japinat]

Anyway, Silva in any case has an advantage over Paul, this is his experience, but the almost two-fold age difference minimizes this advantage, by the way, Paul says that he really wants to knock out Silva, but as he said with respect, or maybe not, I still wish Silva a victory.

Age is not really a big factor in fights that can be viewed as an advantage, I mean, what can that age do if you're not equipped with the right tools to defeat an experienced veteran fighter who has a strong IQ?

Thinking skills of a person become less sharper through age same with the body agility. Silva IQ and thinking skills is not that sharp anymore that’s why his moves becomes slower and less agile base on his previous matches on pro. Brain thinks first before body reacts and if the human physical body became slower means his brain is getting slower to process data too.

Jake undergo special training dedicated on this sports so I’m sure he is prepared on this kind of match. He knew how smart Silva is inside the octagon so he might be developing a strategy to counter it.

We cannot say that for sure because we haven't saw Silva lately and we are just giving pure speculations based on what the most old fighter experienced but the muscle memory can be a big help when it comes to a fight because your brain doesn't have to predict alone as the muscles are already trained for it, that said, the process will be much shorter and that makes Silva react quite early.

Though I cannot deny that his chances are still low because he lacks defense and the fight will be held in the ring not in the octagon, so that means conserving his energy and stamina is a challenge for him because he is not used to it and a full 12-round fight can be a very long time for an MMA fighter.

I'm rooting for Silva here because he's much older and Jake Paul is cocky and as some people have said already likes to pick on washed up fighters past their prime, although Silva can't be described that way. I watched his fight against Chavez Jr. and he's still good. You might try to bet on Jake because of how much you can get if he wins, but the winner is most likely going to be Silva, unless something unpredictable happens. A fight can turn after a simple mistake. Your eye gets cut and you get a stoppage, things like that.

I think the Jake is the favourite, for the issues mentioned above about ageing. Silva looked very good against Chavez, a decision win in his own back yard, that takes some doing in boxing. Usually, there's a bias I find with the judges depending on where its hosted, and what nationality the boxers are. Although, that might not be entirely accurate.

I won't be able to watch the fight unfortunately, but I might put Jake on an accumulator just for the fun of it. To me there's too much value in it, to pass it up. Obviously, I don't want to see Silva lose, but I do think Jake has enough volume to get the rounds, and Silva won't fade massively, but keeping up with a youngster isn't something he has had to do for a long while.

I definitely believe that Silva can make Jake Paul struggle but I guess we can only see that in the first few rounds where Silva have the stamina needed and expected to dominate the fight, but when it comes to middle rounds, that's where we can definitely see Jake Paul dominating because most probably, Silva has already gassed out. We know that MMA doesn't have enough stamina to go full 12-rounds compared to the boxer who is trained for it.

And betting on Silva is not really bad idea as for sure his odds are great and tempting but we cannot hide the fact that his chances to win are not that high considering his age now. And that's also one of the few reasons why Jake Paul agreed to this fight.

I agree, Jake Paul skill is still unpolished, I see his fight and only noticed openings whenever he attack.  This might be exploited by Silva and hit a couple of punches before Jake put up his defenses, I said that because it takes too long for Jake to get his defense back after punching.  Though when it comes in stamina, I don't know if Jake Paul will be conditioned enough to not get exhauseted in the middle part of the match.  If you happen to see his fight before, you'll see that Jake Paul got easily exhausted, exhaustion reflects on the third or fourth round of his previous fight against woodley he was lucky to land a KO punch though.

This fight might go either way because both fighter are lacking something that might be taken advantage of the opponent.

silva should be aggressive in the first rounds of this fight and finish it fast. otherwise, paul will possibly dominate if this will go the distance. gassing out is i think the enemy here of silva in the later rounds. but in any case, paul will have a different caliber of opponent here, and should be hard for him this time to win this exhibition fight.

[pixie85]

I have much respect for an experienced master that Silva is but in this case I'd put my money on Jake Paul because the odds are too good.

Everybody is betting on Silva and with very little money you can make a lot if you go against the crowd which is what I usually like to do.
Also the age advantage makes it more even than it looks like if you only compare their career.

Of course, if Silva succeeds in the first rounds, then he will have a chance, But we already expected this on the example of other fights involving age-old fighters, for example, a fresh Canelo vs GGG fight, but objectively, an aged fighter cannot have enough speed to dominate a fight with a younger opponent, there may be exceptions, but I think this does not apply to Silva.

What fighter isn't unpolished at his experience level? In fact, Silva is also rather unpolished when it comes to boxing. His style has been high risk, high reward. He's built a career with that mentality, and that comes with a lot of discipline, but also when you transition to boxing from a career of MMA, you aren't going to be as polished as a boxer that has been focusing on boxing for a number of years.

Plus, I actually think Jake looks incredibly composed, and polished for someone his age, and also the amount of time he's actually been in boxing. It's only been a few years, and he looks pretty sound technically, and very good offensively. What I'm most curious about with this fight is how he's defensively, and I'm really hoping that Silva puts enough output out there to ask these sort of questions.

Gotta hand that to you, that fight was almost crystal clear that Silva is not a washed out fighter and still has reflexes because he defeated the former middleweight champion in his own sport, Chavez Jr. Although, I'm not a fan of Jake Paul, it's still hard for me to believe that Silva can win this time and the latter will be the one to teach him lessons. Well, this is interesting to see next month, ain't going to let this slide.

Cesar Chavez and Anderson Silva is both classified as a washed out fighter in their respective sport especially Chavez who keeps on losing after his fight against Canelo, it's true that Silva is still formidable and quite agile at his age and probably the reason why he outboxed Chavez in his own playground.

But this time is different, Silva is fighting a much younger boxer who may or may not defeat him by a KO but I'm almost positive that he will wash Silva this time inside the boxing ring. I may be wrong in this speculation but I really do think that Jake Paul will be the one who will be victorious at the end of the day.

I reviewed some recent fights of Jake Paul and it seems to me that he will have the same struggle that Silva will face when it comes to middle rounds, both of them has a problem when it comes to stamina because even if Jake Paul is a boxer, he is not that used to do long explosive fights as his foe those times is not a Bonafide boxer and for Silva, he is not used doing fights in the ring where the fights are much longer than UFC.

I just watched the press conference, which I know I'm a little late too, but I must say I was quite impressed by Jake. He didn't resort to his normal internet personality, and came across as a nice guy. Giving credits to Anderson, and you can kind of tell that this kid grew up watching, and admiring him. That's nice to see. I know they recreated the picture they took several years ago with Logan too.

Obviously, the fights a little bit off now, and I thought a press conference was a little early, but Anderson talks about how he's training all the time. So, that might be worth considering, since I know that generally fighters that are ageing usually don't end up committing to the same training schedule they did when they were in their prime. So, that age might not show as much on Anderson, which I do believe is the case since he's looked good just over a year ago in his last fights.

One thing that I am worried about exhibition fights, is they may have prior arrangements.
We don't know if these 2 already know the results of their fight. So hard to say the outcome.
So even if Silva is preparing also, if they already know who should win here, then, it is the loss of the boxing fans.
Also, the judges may just rule this out as draw even if there is a clear winner.
With this, better not to bet on their fight, just watch for entertainment purposes only.

Yeah trying to place a bet on these types of matches is almost impossible.  Might as well go with the underdog and take the odds because it's really up in the air who wins these.  It's subpar boxing at best as these are professional boxers.  I won't be watching this one, it's cringy watching these as a pure boxing fan.

It's the right way to go about it. No point manufacturing drama, especially if you respect your opponent and Silva isn't really one to give it back anyway. He's fairly quiet and reserved really so it would be out of character or very one sided if they were going to go the psychological warfare approach. Trash talking only really works when both are committed. I'd love to see the build up to a fight against Jake V Connor or Andrew Tate or something. The press conferences would be better than the actual fight.

It's not an exhibition match. It's a professional one. Neither parties want to lose and if you think this match is fixed then you might as well be saying the same about all pro fights.

Lets discuss the probability, that this fight is going to be staged. Do you think this is possible? I doubt that Jake is able to knockout Silva, but I consider that this fight might end with a draw. And I dont expect Jake to be knocked out (due to clause in fight contract). Btw, Silva is going to be Jakes first southpaw opponent. For real unprofessional, this is going to cause troubles.

It's only a possibility in the same way it is in any other boxing match or sport. Matches being 'fixed' are very rare, but what isn't rare is armchair critics who think everything is fixed once something doesn't go their way or the way they expected. How exactly do you stage such a thing without it being obvious? They're not really punching each other in the face, or maybe the punches they throw are CGId in in real time? It's usually pretty obvious if someone gets KOd with a very light touch and if that happens then you might have a case for their being something dodgy going on, but I've seen none of that in Jake's fights or any other youtuber boxing match. Both parties really want to win and nobody wants to lose because it's embarrassing, and even more so when you get KOd by a youtuber. Both Woodley and Askrem have said essentially the same thing and Woodley at least is humble enough to give Jake credit for a great KO.

Also, there is no such thing as a no knock-out clause. That's just something idiots on the internet make up once someone doesn't get a KO. How the hell can you fight someone and bar a KO. The only really valid criticism you could have of Jake right now is he's cherry picking his opponents to stack the odds in his favour by only fighting ex-MMA fighters and retired ones at that, but still, people like Woodley and Silva are no pushovers even at their ages. Personally I'm not sure we will see a knock out but could see it going the distance.

[stadus]

I just watched the press conference, which I know I'm a little late too, but I must say I was quite impressed by Jake. He didn't resort to his normal internet personality, and came across as a nice guy. Giving credits to Anderson, and you can kind of tell that this kid grew up watching, and admiring him. That's nice to see. I know they recreated the picture they took several years ago with Logan too.

Obviously, the fights a little bit off now, and I thought a press conference was a little early, but Anderson talks about how he's training all the time. So, that might be worth considering, since I know that generally fighters that are ageing usually don't end up committing to the same training schedule they did when they were in their prime. So, that age might not show as much on Anderson, which I do believe is the case since he's looked good just over a year ago in his last fights.

One thing that I am worried about exhibition fights, is they may have prior arrangements.
We don't know if these 2 already know the results of their fight. So hard to say the outcome.
So even if Silva is preparing also, if they already know who should win here, then, it is the loss of the boxing fans.
Also, the judges may just rule this out as draw even if there is a clear winner.
With this, better not to bet on their fight, just watch for entertainment purposes only.

Yeah trying to place a bet on these types of matches is almost impossible.  Might as well go with the underdog and take the odds because it's really up in the air who wins these.  It's subpar boxing at best as these are professional boxers.  I won't be watching this one, it's cringy watching these as a pure boxing fan.

Indeed mate, these kinds of fights are risky to bet because we cannot take away the chance that both camps might have some agreements even before the fight was announced. We all know in the first place why Silva and Jake Paul have agreed to fight and that's because of the money, alone! What else? There's no bad blood between them or known rivalry, they've just surfaced suddenly because they know that their equation will give them millions. Their fight may be interesting to watch but this is not a pure professional fight even if it's considered as a pro-fight.

I think most fights are done because of the money alone...  I actually like the way Jake Paul has started handing out paydays to those he likes.  It makes the most sense.  Find fighters who have established themselves in underpaid fights for the UFC, then create an ultimate fight where they both make a fortune without the UFC.  Sure, Jake is doing it because it makes him the most money, but the side effect of having underpaid fighters get a massive payday is pretty cool.  I hope he continues getting his idols paid.  It's pretty awesome.

Hasn't he started a union or was suggesting to start a union for the UFC fighters? I'm not sure if he was serious or if he was just making fun of Dana at that point, since I know they had a ongoing beef. However, they really should start thinking about uniting together, and actually doing something about the pay situation. UFC is taking off like no other sport right now, we're seeing record growth, yet fighters pay has remained the same.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how boxing generates the money it does, since I do believe there's been an ongoing trend where boxing is losing supporters. Maybe, these Youtubers coming into the scene did help out a bit. I doubt any boxing elitist is going to admit that though .

All sporting event takes place because money is involved, we are not living during the Rome colosseum tournaments where slaves were forced to fight . If not for the money who in the right mind will participate in getting their face punched and you do not need bad blood and drama or a huge rivalry to set a match up. The prime audience who will purchase the PPV will be MMA fans who likes to see Anderson Silva back in boxing and the other set of fans who wants to see Jake Paul getting knocked out.

What is a pure professional fight  .

I think this has been the case for almost all of the biggest sporting event including boxers, there are sponsors willing to pay the boxers and fighters for advertisement and then there are the networks and promoters.

So everything boils down as how much money they can generate, even if it is former UFC/boxers against a Youtube sensation. And yes, this could be stage and rigged so it's really up to those gamblers if they are willing to be "part of the plan".

Boxers make their money through sponsorships, and the fight money. UFC fighters don't get either. There's recently been backlash since they've been prevented from having their own sponsors, in favour of UFC sponsors. I mean, take a look at the Nate Diaz drama with the Rock currently, which is all about him being forced to wear the Rock's shoes.

I can't really blame the fighters wanting to make their money in boxing. If I was them, and I wanted to take care of not only my future, but my families I'd be boxing. UFC need to wake up at some point as they'll lose a lot of current fighters once their contracts are up or they'll lose out on prospective fighters since currently in terms of monetary value boxing is more worthwhile. It also doesn't look good when pretty much all your fighters are complaining about the pay, and legends of the sport are retiring in boxing, because quite frankly they didn't earn what they should've in the UFC.

Again, then you should apply this same logic to any fight as this fight has as much chance of being fixed as any other. And all fights are for the money. When a fighter says he doesn't care about the money they're lying. How many fighters fight for free or donate all their money to charity? Zero. It's a business and a good one at that if you make it to the top and become one of the most popular fighters. And how do they do that? By grabbing headlines and people like Jake Paul are masters of it. It would be obvious if the fights were fixed or staged in anyway. There would be no question about it. This isn't the WWE. Most 'bad blood' in fights is just done to sell the fights anyway. It's just theatre to generate hype and add a little spice to the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z-oJTZ1b5Q

Silva is really not going to want to get knocked out because it will be embarrassing and taint his legacy, but why would he take that risk? Because the millions of dollars he's going to get paid will be worth it. He will be getting paid more for this fight alone than what he would have probably got in half of his UFC career.

Hasn't he started a union or was suggesting to start a union for the UFC fighters? I'm not sure if he was serious or if he was just making fun of Dana at that point, since I know they had a ongoing beef. However, they really should start thinking about uniting together, and actually doing something about the pay situation. UFC is taking off like no other sport right now, we're seeing record growth, yet fighters pay has remained the same.

They're never going to work together. Dana hates Jake and has even banned questions about him at the UFC pressers. Dana probably needs to keep fighter pay down as much as possible so it doesn't effect his bottom-line. If all fighters suddenly started wanting the big bucks UFC wouldn't be anywhere near as profitable as it now. They obviously need to find some middle ground though because a lot of the smaller fighters get hardly anything and even big fighters like Ngannou aren't getting paid what they deserve.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how boxing generates the money it does, since I do believe there's been an ongoing trend where boxing is losing supporters. Maybe, these Youtubers coming into the scene did help out a bit. I doubt any boxing elitist is going to admit that though .

Well it all comes down to the PPV numbers, ticket sales and ad revenue from sponsors etc. As long as that money is there then fight will happen and generate at lot of money for the big ones, but there will be a lot of flops happening. Eddie Hearn alluded to the recent Canelo fight not doing as great as they wanted it to, but they PPV numbers are out there as are the purses for each fighter and doing the math they probably struggled to break even, though it's hard to calculate truly because Dazn had the worldwide rights for the fight but they charged different amounts for it in different countries.

Canelo vs. Golovkin 3 will be broadcast on DAZN PPV in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

But the fight was shown for free in other markets like Spain and Germany which is how I watched it. Nearly $100 for a fight is ridiculous though, especially for not really a huge one like this.

And there is no doubt that he is good at it, more than his older brother. He is heavily criticized for getting and fighting washed out fighters from UFC in the boxing ring, well I guess, that's the new trend these days as boxing industry is a business industry as well. I can't see any reasons why UFC fighters won't accept Jake Paul's proposal, I mean, majority of the UFC fighters are underpaid and accepting Jake Paul's invitation is already a guaranteed money for them.

What is a pure professional fight  .

Sorry for the confusion What I mean is that this is not an exhibition fight, it's considered as professional fight as this is Silva's professional debut in boxing. But this fight is not something that we often see because often times, a cross-over fight is declared as exhibition fight.

Yes, $85 US dollars for the new subscribers is quite hilarious for this one, the organizers and PPV are surely taking advantage for the last fight between the rival boxers. It's interesting to watch it and been a good fight so far but the price is not reasonable enough as we already expected what will be the outcome would be like.

And there is no doubt that he is good at it, more than his older brother. He is heavily criticized for getting and fighting washed out fighters from UFC in the boxing ring, well I guess, that's the new trend these days as boxing industry is a business industry as well.

Gotta hand it to you, Jake Paul is frankly better than Logan Paul. The latter don't have any skills at all unlike his younger brother, Jake, who managed to continue in making his name in the league. But the thing is that he'll still criticized again this time because he is again having a fight with a retired UFC future HOF. Although Silva is not that bad in boxing, chances of Jake Paul winning the fight is still higher than the retired UFC fighter.

[Welsh]

Lets discuss the probability, that this fight is going to be staged. Do you think this is possible? I doubt that Jake is able to knockout Silva, but I consider that this fight might end with a draw. And I dont expect Jake to be knocked out (due to clause in fight contract). Btw, Silva is going to be Jakes first southpaw opponent. For real unprofessional, this is going to cause troubles.

I wouldn't of thought so. The commission, and the promoters behind boxing isn't going to risk something like that. It would discredit boxing, and it's not like Jake is liked by everyone within the boxing community. If caught, it would basically discredit every single boxing event that has ever occurred, due to the nature, and exposure that Jake Paul has. Fixing does happen, obviously. However, it's usually the fighters or teams themselves. If you're asking whether I think Anderson would be willing to take a dive; absolutely not.

I think every single knockout Jake has gotten, has been legitimate. Trust me, no one willing fully wants to get knocked out, and turned into a meme. The only one which I thought the accusations would be thrown around the most was the Woodley one. Simply because he didn't throw much. However, anyone that knows him from the UFC will know that's just his style. He's always been like that, and it's probably one of the reasons Jake Paul's team thought he was a good choice to fight.

[melody82]

Personally I think all of the jake Paul fights are staged. Go back and watch, it looks to me like his opponents are really holding back. There is a world of difference between athletic guys and champions. Jake Paul doesn't belong in there with the top guys. Just my opinion though. One thing I do like is that some mma guys that didn't really get paid during their mma careers are getting some big paydays from a glorified workout with Paul. Can't complain about that. And if people like this stuff, and want to be entertained, I have nothing against that either. If I was to bet, I would bet on Paul to win, because I think that is the predetermined outcome, but, I can see Silva accidentally pooping him one and getting the ko, so I don't think I will actually bet on the event.

Of course, what do you expect from this kind of fights? this is all for fun and money grab for them, specially for high level former fighters. But the hype they are putting prior to the fight though that makes other believed that they really wanted to take each other heads off. But when the bell rings, they are holding it back and not giving their 100% on the fight. And when the winner was announced, it could be a draw and everyone was so frustrated with the decision specially if you have a bet on it. So it's better to stay away from actually betting on this kind of exhibition fights.

When people start these vs threads they should really make them polls. I’m curious who the community feels is going to win this one but don’t want to read through and tally everything myself.

Youth can win especially that the experienced one does not specialized in boxing, though it's still the same combat sport. However, boxing may have required more stamina than MMA as you need to keep your feet and head moving, otherwise you'll never get a momentum.
I've read through some of the users sentiments in this match, and I guess most users here thinks neither of both have the same percentage of winning. And yeah, the thing that separates this two on determining who will this match  is the youth and experience.

There is a chance the fight results in to draw. Jake has so much respect for Silva, he admits it as he is a fan and they even have photos together with Anderson and the Logan kids. No trashing and no need for the fight to be hyped because it's The Spider they are fighting. However, if this is not really a fixed/exhibition fight, Anderson will lose.

Unlike what the situation with Floyd and Jake which they are trash-talking recently. They might fight too. Jake is killing the market with his upcoming fights. He is just hitting big celebrity names.

Well! he may start like a WWE-style fight in boxing where everything is on stage but the fans still want to see it. Just like the old days, we thought everything was real and there was no drama r whatsoever involved but as soon as the internet is accessible to us, we shockingly know the truth, and we are still the fans of The Rock, John Cena, and others. Maybe right now they wanted to promote it like it was just normal boxing but when they gathered so many numbers of fans they might eventually tell the truth to everyone.

And that is his secret, trash talking and making fun of his opponents in public, pulling some stunts even against Floyd. Yes we see the respect and so there is a chance that this fight is going to be rigged as you have said and most probably for entertaining purposes only. But they know that fans are going to watch it live so they have to stage as it they are like going for a knock out but in the end it could end in a draw.

The age plays a dominant role as your stamina boost really matters in these fights but they are for actual boxers and Paul have turned out to be in this new race from few time and publicity and you can clearly see the hype for these kind of matches and we see new beef arising out for the whole money purpose because million of dollars are involved in it.But only watch these as entertainment purposes knowing the truth behind them.

Youth can win especially that the experienced one does not specialized in boxing, though it's still the same combat sport. However, boxing may have required more stamina than MMA as you need to keep your feet and head moving, otherwise you'll never get a momentum.
I've read through some of the users sentiments in this match, and I guess most users here thinks neither of both have the same percentage of winning. And yeah, the thing that separates this two on determining who will this match  is the youth and experience.

The age plays a dominant role as your stamina boost really matters in these fights but they are for actual boxers and Paul have turned out to be in this new race from few time and publicity and you can clearly see the hype for these kind of matches and we see new beef arising out for the whole money purpose because million of dollars are involved in it.But only watch these as entertainment purposes knowing the truth behind them.

The difference in age always have the key role of young taking credit of the older ones. However with these kind of fights, the experience really matters alot. Not as skilled games, here tricks and techniques give hands. These days giving hype to matches have turned to be common, as the key focus is to generate millions of dollars out of the fight. This in long term will ruin the real game of the professionals.

you don't think accuracy of Silva's hand can out boxed Jake? though he is old, Silva can still do what adesanya do like avoiding getting hit while throwing punch at the same time. when his accuracy can out balance Jake, it will be the end of it.  

not only it can generate millions from tickets, Jake also make money deal to potential fighters in UFC to fight him to which we can't discount the fight being a fixed match.

Personally I think all of the jake Paul fights are staged. Go back and watch, it looks to me like his opponents are really holding back. There is a world of difference between athletic guys and champions. Jake Paul doesn't belong in there with the top guys. Just my opinion though. One thing I do like is that some mma guys that didn't really get paid during their mma careers are getting some big paydays from a glorified workout with Paul. Can't complain about that. And if people like this stuff, and want to be entertained, I have nothing against that either. If I was to bet, I would bet on Paul to win, because I think that is the predetermined outcome, but, I can see Silva accidentally pooping him one and getting the ko, so I don't think I will actually bet on the event.

Of course, what do you expect from this kind of fights? this is all for fun and money grab for them, specially for high level former fighters. But the hype they are putting prior to the fight though that makes other believed that they really wanted to take each other heads off. But when the bell rings, they are holding it back and not giving their 100% on the fight. And when the winner was announced, it could be a draw and everyone was so frustrated with the decision specially if you have a bet on it. So it's better to stay away from actually betting on this kind of exhibition fights.

I honestly don't know weather you people are just naïve, signature shitposting or don't know anything about boxing. Show me the evidence of all this "holding back". These boxing fights are the same as any other. Nobody wants to lose. Everybody wants to win. They're all done for the money but there's absolutely no evidence to suggest the fights are fixed or the outcome is 'decided'.

Are you trying to tell me all the people Jake has knocked out are just acting? Because if so, give them their Oscars:





Edit:

Direct links since the proxy seems to be blocking them:

They all go down from great punches. No acting or anything suspicious, they just got shook from a good punch and nobody can stop their brains from rattling around in their skulls.

Is it really not possible that Jake might actually just be a pretty good boxer? He's surprised me for sure but he's deserved the wins and I've seen nothing that would suggest any fighter is holding back or not trying to hurt him. Put him in the ring with another Pro boxer coming up like Tommy Fury and I think we'll see how similarly matched they are. That's one reason why I really want that fight to happen and hopefully it will shut up a lot of this nonsense. If Jake can get passed Silva and someone like Fury and do a good job there's no reason why we couldn't see him against a decent current pro boxer but he needs to build himself up to that.

I feel the community will be divided. The thing is Jake has knock out power, but will he be able to use that knock out power now he has a bit of volume coming back at him. Plus, Anderson is a tricky fighter, he's not your traditional boxer, and he doesn't throw traditional punches. However, he does throw them quite a lot which I think is the difference between this opponent, and all previous opponents. We've yet to see Jake be put on the back foot, and I think at the very least Anderson will be able to do that at some point in the fight.

I'm currently swaying towards Jake though, which pains me to say as I loved Anderson in the MMA scene.

I'm split myself as I was with the Woodley fight. It's probably going to be Jake's toughest challenge yet, though I'd put it in the same category as Woodley. Woodley is nearly ten years younger than Silva so he has the age advantage, but Silva was a much better MMA fighter and is now doing fairly decently in boxing himself so there's pros and cons to bother fighters in terms of matchups. If I had to put money on it maybe it goes the distance and Jake on points. I kinda want Jake to win though just to see how far he can actually take this, and ultimately I really wanna see him fight someone like McGregor. The build up to that fight would be epic with all the trash-talking and I think Jake could give Connor a good game in that respect.

It's been said a thousand times style makes a fight, both fighters are good in both offense and defense and they are both capable, I won't consider the age, I am more considering their conditioning both fighters consider this as their level up fight, both trains are on the go and one of the trains is going to stop after this fight, I like Silva to win, but a win by Jake Paul will unfold another exciting journey and you are right Connor should be the next if Jake Paul's train continues, it's not going to be battle of skills only but a battle of thrash talks, I am more curious on their thrash talks than on their fight  .

Yeah, it's a tricky fight to call in my opinion despite what some boxing elitists are saying, including some very famous boxers, but there we go. The only thing I'd say is Anderson is known to put some volume out, whereas Woodley was nicknamed "the frozen one" since he basically looked like he froze at times, and you could see that still happening in the ring. It's not necessarily a flaw, as he had some obviously very successful times in the UFC. Although, Anderson does put a lot of stuff out there, and that's what I'm most interested in.

If Jake can also prove he can fight on the back foot, and defend intelligently. I actually think he could go somewhere pretty decent in his career.

Yet people did not learn from these mistakes, they still bet hoping that this time will be different and there will be a winner that will be announced. It's really hard to see winners and losers from a fight that is participated by two famous fighters, even Jake Paul admitted that he's a fan and respects Anderson Silva ever since Jake's was still a kid. So that's already a sign that these two are only fighting for the money and the fight will result into a draw, I could be wrong, but the chances are not worth the risk.

Not sure what you mean exactly, but isn't it possible to both respect a fighter for their career or persona, and want to fight them to progress your career? Honestly, I quite like it when fighters are friendly, and have a mutual respect. Plus, we haven't really seen this side of Jake before, which is honestly quite refreshing.

It took me a while to really click onto the idea, but Jake has built his whole career, boxing, and Youtube off of a bad boy persona that basically makes everyone hate him. However, in all likelihood, he's not the same guy that he portrays.

It's an act, very much like past time greats. To some degree, Ali was an act. Jake just does it a little bit different, and no I'm not comparing Ali, and Jake just to make that clear to everyone.

One week to go.

I really wish people would stop with this nonsense. ALL fighters are just fighting for the money. You do know that a lot of fighters actually respect each other and it's not all actually kill or be killed. Half of the 'beefs' in combat sports are just manufactured or exaggerated to try cause hype and sell the fights anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z-oJTZ1b5Q

It's probably actually quite rare that fighters genuinely have a hatred for each other, and even the ones that do seem to generally dislike each other often hug it out after the fight. Jake has done the right thing here by being genuine about his appreciation of Silva rather than just trying to fake some conflict just for the sake of it. He's said he respects him but he's also going to KO him, and he will try his best to I'm sure. Jake could be fighting his own brother but he would still try to get the KO. Jake is on a roll and is unbeaten and he's going to want to keep adding to the hype train to try get that huge KSI/Connor/Mayweather fight. If he loses or puts in a poor performance his chances of making those fights diminish. If Jake gets another stellar KO then that's another clip for his highlight reel and he inches towards a megabucks fight with one of the aforementioned.

[Yatsan]

Will definitely betting on Anderson Silva, a true fighter. Indeed Jake Paul has the size advantage but experience Silva has, is something. Jake have shown improvement despite of his short career but I do really think that this could be an instance wherein things won't go easy for him. Silva is a veteran in this game and is not easy to be beaten even by his fellow fighters.Let us accept that Jake would be performing better over years, meaning, he's not ready for this fight yet. Odds are great as well to Jake which makes it more interesting to bet and win big time. This is exciting.

[Baofeng]

Video of both boxers training for this fight:

Anderson Silva - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caleat4mZds

Silva might uses his jab more in this fight, and hopefully he can win the fight by knockout.

And here is Jake Paul - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ddFMBzVpI

Jake said that he is going to go for that knockout, hehehe and then kiss and make up after the fight. Both respected each other so there will be no trash talking in this fight.

since it is an exhibition fight, we don't know exactly their fight rules here though it was stated in an article last month that fight rules is the same as under professional rules. however, how about proclaiming the winner? usually, they have prior arrangement how they proclaim the winner in an exhibition fight. if nothing else, those who are rooting for silva has better odds now that he is underdog. i hope silva will give us a good exhibition match.

no big margin on the odds. 1.7 for logan. if you have to bet its going to be logan. close to a risk free fight.

Yeah and we have been discussing that this fight is not going to be rigged in favor of Jake Paul and so to continue with his career in exhibition match.

But it seems that the sentimental favorite here is Anderson Silva, I mean who wouldn't love this guy? He is already a legend and even Jake Paul acknowledge him. So hopefully they will go full throttle and fight until someone gets knock out.

And for Anderson Silva backers, at 2 odds, it's not that bad to bet on him.

FYI this is not an exhibition fight and it is a sanctioned professional bout and this is the 5th professional fight for Jake Paul.
Professional boxers signed the contract and then failed to show up for the fight. So Jake Paul being the promoter himself he needs to look for fights that are guaranteed and may be he took the fight against Anderson Silva because they come to fight and do not back out citing many reasons .

It means, it may be worth placing a bet as they should declare a winner for this fight.
Most exhibition matches ended up as a draw or no winner because there were no judges.
Silva at 2.x odds is nice if in case this one will be a professional one.
Jake Paul wants this exposure, chasing professional boxers, so I don't think he will back out for this match.
If in case he will win on this match, this will be a good boost in his boxing career.

Not that much of a boost to Jake's career because even if we turn the world upside-down, Anderson Silva is not a bonafide boxer just like Jake Paul and also, he is a washed-out MMA fighter so there is not much credit to gain if he can win this one but there's a lot of embarrassment if Jake will be defeated.
By the way, yes, this is a sanctioned professional fight and not an exhibition match just like what other people think but there's no belt on the line.

For betting, your money, your rules but I don't really recommend to bet on this fight. We can't say for sure if it's rigged or not. Anyway, as I said, your decision mate

Yeah I feel the same way, I'm first off not betting any money on this fight. These Paul fights are more of a circus show than anything else. Not to mention like you said, who knows if they are rigged or not.  I mean they are social media starlets, they'll do whatever it take to stay in the limelight and I just wouldn't put cheating past them.

That said I hope Anderson knocks his face in.

Exactly! There are several good matches to put on your money on but not this match. Except for the reason that we don't know whether or not this match is rigged, this match is very unpredictable as well considering that the one is a washed fighter and the other is a YouTuber.
I also recommend to just bet on a professional match with the REAL boxers to it.
https://www.espn.ph/boxing/story/_/id/12508267/boxing-schedule
A lot of good matches about to go down late in October and early November, that includes Loma, Fury, and Bivol are some of the notable names.

It's at Stake though, it's there but you couldn't bet on DRAW lol the fight is a few days ahead. No other option.

If I have to bet thinking this is a real fight it would be Paul. He is big, he can throw a punch, and young, just the 3 factors that can make him win. We know Silva can absorb punches but this is just not going to make him win when a big man like Paul pushes him into a corner which Anderson also likes to challenge. I bet Anderson also likes to do what he does best in UFC where he'd just stay in the corner trying to impress his head movement which he is really good at. Hope he makes a lot of money thru this event.

Jake Paul wants this exposure, chasing professional boxers, so I don't think he will back out for this match.
If in case he will win on this match, this will be a good boost in his boxing career.

Not that much of a boost to Jake's career because even if we turn the world upside-down, Anderson Silva is not a bonafide boxer just like Jake Paul and also, he is a washed-out MMA fighter so there is not much credit to gain if he can win this one but there's a lot of embarrassment if Jake will be defeated.
By the way, yes, this is a sanctioned professional fight and not an exhibition match just like what other people think but there's no belt on the line.

For betting, your money, your rules but I don't really recommend to bet on this fight. We can't say for sure if it's rigged or not. Anyway, as I said, your decision mate

Yeah I feel the same way, I'm first off not betting any money on this fight. These Paul fights are more of a circus show than anything else. Not to mention like you said, who knows if they are rigged or not.  I mean they are social media starlets, they'll do whatever it take to stay in the limelight and I just wouldn't put cheating past them.

That said I hope Anderson knocks his face in.

We shouldn't forget that they're a YouTube influencers for starters and not the type of man who wanted to be a star in the boxing industry, it's like these people just woke up one day that they want to be a boxer, not to mention the attention and money they could get if they can pair themselves with some famous boxers or fighters just like this one, Anderson Silva. Again, not a good fight to bet and as you say, Jake Paul's fights together with his brother Logan is full of circus and not the type of boxing we would want to see.

Exactly! There are several good matches to put on your money on but not this match. Except for the reason that we don't know whether or not this match is rigged, this match is very unpredictable as well considering that the one is a washed fighter and the other is a YouTuber.
I also recommend to just bet on a professional match with the REAL boxers to it.

A lot of good matches about to go down late in October and early November, that includes Loma, Fury, and Bivol are some of the notable names. 

Indeed mate! Let's put an exception on this one but honestly, I couldn't deny that it is really interesting to see this one if how will it end and to see if we are correct on our speculations. But talking about betting, nah I'll pass! There's a lot of real interesting fight these days in boxing that is more worth of our bets.

So let's talk about the ticket sales for this fight, as reported,

The event headlined by Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and UFC legend Anderson “The Spider” Silva has established itself as the highest grossing boxing event for ticket revenue in the history of Desert Diamond Arena (formerly Gila River Arena) and the second highest-grossing ticket event across all combat sports with six days to go until fight night.

https://www.boxingscene.com/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-sets-ticket-revenue-record-boxing-desert-diamond-arena--169955

So I guess this is a good sign that exhibition fights will be the trend in the future. If fans are willing to pay (although there is still tickets), then definitely we will see the likes of Manny Pacquaio (having his first exhibition fight with a South Korean), or any other legends coming back from their retirement and still making huge money and you can't blame them and for fans as well because there are fights that we wanted to see that is not happening this year.

[hilariousetc]

Will definitely betting on Anderson Silva, a true fighter. Indeed Jake Paul has the size advantage but experience Silva has, is something. Jake have shown improvement despite of his short career but I do really think that this could be an instance wherein things won't go easy for him. Silva is a veteran in this game and is not easy to be beaten even by his fellow fighters.Let us accept that Jake would be performing better over years, meaning, he's not ready for this fight yet. Odds are great as well to Jake which makes it more interesting to bet and win big time. This is exciting.

since it is an exhibition fight, we don't know exactly their fight rules here though it was stated in an article last month that fight rules is the same as under professional rules. however, how about proclaiming the winner? usually, they have prior arrangement how they proclaim the winner in an exhibition fight. if nothing else, those who are rooting for silva has better odds now that he is underdog. i hope silva will give us a good exhibition match.

It is not an exhibition match. It is a pro one. A winner will be announced just like it has in his all his other fights.

~
Yeah and we have been discussing that this fight is not going to be rigged in favor of Jake Paul and so to continue with his career in exhibition match.

FYI this is not an exhibition fight and it is a sanctioned professional bout and this is the 5th professional fight for Jake Paul.
Professional boxers signed the contract and then failed to show up for the fight. So Jake Paul being the promoter himself he needs to look for fights that are guaranteed and may be he took the fight against Anderson Silva because they come to fight and do not back out citing many reasons .

Is there a belt on the line here, if this is not an exhibition match?
It means, it may be worth placing a bet as they should declare a winner for this fight.
Most exhibition matches ended up as a draw or no winner because there were no judges.
Silva at 2.x odds is nice if in case this one will be a professional one.

What makes you think any of those fights aren't going to be rigged? The Fury fight might as well be since we all know who's going to win. I'd say Paul V Silva will be more exiting and unpredictable than that match up.

[Jawhead999]

Based on sportsbet.io many people are bet Silva win by KO rather than decision, while people are guess Paul will likely win via decision rather than KO, this is indeed funny. I'm more interested to bet Jake Paul via KO for few dollars because the odds is juicy. It's not really worth for me to bet by Moneyline, Jake Paul was an underdog before, but when the fight get closer, now Paul is the favorited in this fight.

Probably most of these people just want to see Jake Paul getting beaten badly by Anderson Silva and aside from that, seeing Silva again fighting in the ring professionally. Just one thing mate, Jake-Anderson fight is not an exhibition fight and it is sanctioned by the organization, so this is a professional fight with no belt on the line.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this mate, indeed you're right, the moneyline is not that worth it to bet on. But look at that draw, the odds is so juicy and maybe I'll throw a few, we never know

So, Jake Paul here is the favorite and that's reasonable enough because the man started his journey in the ring and this fight will happen in the ring too, so the bookies are putting him in the throne as he have the sport advantage. But considering Silva, he is not a beginner in this sports too and if we're talking experience, he surely had the higher hand because he had experience two sports. I might bet Silva for KO or decision, still thinking.

[TopTort777]

Better save your money and just watch the fight. Or do your bet as a last minute. Because there are 3 days left, and all of a sudden that fight might get cancelled for a weird reason. Like a fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. (I dont believe in that bs that they did not manage to agree on weight). Jake can also throw something unexpected. Like a KO or his opponent will suddenly decides not to finish dazed opponent It is "close to professional" boxing, anything can happen. Better place a nice bet on Lomachenko vs Ortiz, that will fight same night.

I guess for boxing fans, we might skip this one but try to watch it for free. We might be curious as to how Anderson Silva is, old but still can fight. On the other hand, there are fans watching and wanted to see if Paul can be knockout by the legend.

But if we will go and bet then yes, it's better to place it in a fight like the Loma vs Ortiz.

In any case, for supporters of any of these boxers and tempted to put a small bet on Silva winning, then it's not that bad odd and good luck.

I prefer to watch it for free if there will be a free streaming online. I wonder why these guys always wanted to fight old and retired boxers. We all know this is all because of money, and the result will most likely a draw. If not, then my time is not wasted and I'm glad to watch it live on internet. Better not to expect much with this one but I hope Paul will be accidentally knockout here. 

[OgNasty]

Anderson Silva had to walk back comments he made today in an interview when he said his sparring partner had knocked him out twice in last Friday’s sparring session. He now says that he misspoke because English is not his native language. Apparently there were some concerned individuals that were considering having Silva pull out of the fight. True or not, it sounds like Silva has been getting his ass kicked by his sparring partner. Good news for Jake Paul fans I guess. I just hope when all is said and done that Silva is happy and healthy.

This fight isn't technically licensed pro boxing is it? I'm assuming that the rules for exhibition stuff like this versus official pro-boxing are different in terms of concussion protocol stuff.  If he really did get knocked out twice by his sparing partner, one, he probably shouldn't be fighting period, and two..that's some scary concussion stuff to have to worry about.  However I guess at the end of the day all these guys know they are taking huge risk for having mush for brains in their latter years.

I think this is a professionally licensed fight. Jake Paul’s fights have all been professional fights I believe. I think he’s like 4-0 now or something. That’s probably why Silvia’s comments created a stir on the week of the fight. The language barrier explanation seemed good enough to make everyone happy. I agree though, if Silva has been getting knocked out then he shouldn’t be fighting at all, even if this is his final and biggest payday.

[Jawhead999]

I'd like to place my bet on this fight, but the odds for Lomachenko is really tiny and doesn't worth to bet.
The only way to bet this fight is based on via result either decision or knock out, another option is bet when the fight will ends: 1-3 rounds, 4-6 rounds etc, but it's much harder.

Yeah it's professional fight, but he's fighting with not a pure boxer and fighter who's already old, that's make people think all of his fight are exhibition fight
Silva already get many knocked out on MMA record, so it's possible if he will lose via knock out too in this match. I doubt he will stop to fight if this is an easy way for him to get big pay check.

[TopTort777]

I would not say that Anderson Silva can be called as old. For example there are plenty of MMA fighters aged 45+ that still are active. For a professional sport Silva is old, that is true, peak form has gone long time ago. But for such a semi professional fight, I would say he is still good. It depends on fighters daily routine. If he trains just for few months and spends rest of the time chilling, then 47 y.o. Silva is old. But as he is active all the time (training and as a coach), than he is not old for me.

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva  (Saturday)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418308.0

And while I'm leaning Anderson Silva to win the match via unanimous decision, a funny thought came in my head that it's in the realm of possibility that Silva could get KO'd by Jake Paul.    Omg if that happens as boxing fans will def have a field day making fun of MMA fans and we wouldn't see the end of it.  

This is a dog and pony show that piques my interest.  But I'm not really sure why Jake Paul is a huge favorite at 1.49.  Does the crowd really think Anderson Silva has less than 50% chance of winning?

[Inwestour]

It is also worth considering the fact that Paul is progressing as a boxer, he has become faster and more technical, but his disadvantage is that he chooses old men for his fight, this is a show with a safety net for him. Silva is really old 47 is a lot, even if he prepared for this fight and trained systematically, his physical condition and endurance will not be the same as before. Silva does it just for the money, I'm not sure if he really cares how this fight ends, but he will probably try to hold out for the whole fight, and then it's up to the judges to decide.

I guess age does not take too much in sports as long as they keep a good condition before playing the game because it is all about their decisions and capability to fight in the match for me I go for silva this match because based on the experience of the fighter but still this match is just like a promotion for the both fighter if they will support this in sportsbook I will make a bet if they have a good odds.

That is a better idea rather than wasting some couple of bucks to watch a professional fight that seriously looks like an exhibition fight and also, I really discourage to bet on this fight but if someone here wanted then feel free to take such risks because a draw is indeed so likely to happen. Both of them wouldn't want to taste defeat especially Jake Paul because it will heavily damage his career as he hasn't yet faced any real boxer and I bet Silva wouldn't the same thing too.

It is true that there are some boxers who are still very passionate about boxing when they are over 40 years old, such as Steve Ward, Mike Tyson and several others.
although in the boxing world they are used to hard physical sports, but I think whoever it is of course age will still affect a person's physical condition, including a boxer.
the older they get, when they compete their bodies will definitely not be in the best condition like before.
they will surely rely more on technique and strategy than their much experience. because if they are too physical, they might get seriously injured, right?.
but regardless of age, I like and support Silva more than Paul.

Yeah, good that you pointed that Silva has accepted this fight only for the money. I still think that his physical condition, stamina and reflexes are better than Jakes, but his chin inst as hard as rock as used to be. That is why, he will evade most of Jakes attacks, but wont be rushing or planning to win this fight by knock out. A win by decision will be ok for Silva, sort of a hard 8 round sparring. And here is were magic happens. If this fight goes to decision, then judges would prefer to choose Jake, so that he could continue his undefeated career, than a retired veteran to have +1 in his win record.

And there was a concern by the Arizona Commission before the actual fight because there was an interview that resurfaces that Anderson says that he was knockout twice in sparring. And so the commission is worry about this statement from Anderson that they require him to have battery of test like MRI prior to the fight and fortunately he passed it all so that fight is a go.

And Silva said that he might be misinterpreted during that interview. Yes he has somewhat improved his English, but still this is not his first language so there could be some gap along the way, sort of "lost in translation".

Anderson Silva had to walk back comments he made today in an interview when he said his sparring partner had knocked him out twice in last Friday’s sparring session. He now says that he misspoke because English is not his native language. Apparently there were some concerned individuals that were considering having Silva pull out of the fight. True or not, it sounds like Silva has been getting his ass kicked by his sparring partner. Good news for Jake Paul fans I guess. I just hope when all is said and done that Silva is happy and healthy.

I'm assuming that the rules for exhibition stuff like this versus official pro-boxing are different in terms of concussion protocol stuff.  If he really did get knocked out twice by his sparing partner, one, he probably shouldn't be fighting period, and two..that's some scary concussion stuff to have to worry about.  However I guess at the end of the day all these guys know they are taking huge risk for having mush for brains in their latter years.

It's a pro bout. Silva has also recently been fighting as a pro and won both his fights last year, the last being against Tito Ortiz so I don't think you have to worry about Silva. As for getting knocked out in sparring I'm sure that even happens to the best of the best but they probably usually keep quiet about it if so. Not the best of looks to admit to it but maybe he did misspeak or he and his camp are just backtracking.

What fighters? There's really not that many and I don't think there's any in the UFC that are that age or even near it. Once you're pushing 40 you just can't keep up with the kids no matter how great you are and Silva is nearer 50. MMA is just too taxing on the body to competitively compete at that age, hence why a lot go to boxing at the tail end of their careers.

Yes, this is listed as a professional bout and not an exhibition. We don't have to worry about Silva's case because he's not too novice in this industry and I'm more leaning on Silva's side because he got some more advantage than the younger Jake Paul who wanted to take his head off. It'll be a great fight to witness but not too exciting as there are also rumors surrounding on this fight that they might have discussions that's why some people are saying that this fight is rigged right at the beginning.

Right now, the people are divided because Jake and Silva made a bet in their press-conference saying that if Silva wins, there will be a second bout in a kickboxing fight and if Jake wins, he and Silva will start an association dedicated to help the MMA fighters who are receiving a much lower rate from Dana.

Is that so? Well, that changes some things because now, we cannot really say that these boxers/fighters had a pact because of their said agreement. Jake Paul is so vocal and is targeting Dana about the MMA fighters that are getting underpaid considering the risks they have to go just to have a fight, we all know that most of these fighters are still struggling to give their families a much comfortable life if they are just fighting once a year. It's such a good cause from a man that is hated for fighting washed-out fighters.

Ya, the entire fight feels like a promotion for their new venture now...  I don't think there's any way that Silva wins this fight, even if he was capable of and wanted to, I think he probably wants to be the president of this new organization.  It seems like it's already a done deal how everything is going to go.  That makes me want to avoid betting on this fight, because it doesn't pass the sniff test and I'm not sure everything is on the up and up.  If I were putting money down though, I'd be Jake all day.  Not because I think he's the better fighter, but because it seems like that's where this story is headed and it's so obvious that I'm not sure I want to take part.

This fight isn't technically licensed pro boxing is it? I'm assuming that the rules for exhibition stuff like this versus official pro-boxing are different in terms of concussion protocol stuff.  If he really did get knocked out twice by his sparing partner, one, he probably shouldn't be fighting period, and two..that's some scary concussion stuff to have to worry about.  However I guess at the end of the day all these guys know they are taking huge risk for having mush for brains in their latter years.

It's a pro bout. Silva has also recently been fighting as a pro and won both his fights last year, the last being against Tito Ortiz so I don't think you have to worry about Silva. As for getting knocked out in sparring I'm sure that even happens to the best of the best but they probably usually keep quiet about it if so. Not the best of looks to admit to it but maybe he did misspeak or he and his camp are just backtracking.

Yes, this is listed as a professional bout and not an exhibition. We don't have to worry about Silva's case because he's not too novice in this industry and I'm more leaning on Silva's side because he got some more advantage than the younger Jake Paul who wanted to take his head off. It'll be a great fight to witness but not too exciting as there are also rumors surrounding on this fight that they might have discussions that's why some people are saying that this fight is rigged right at the beginning.

Right now, the people are divided because Jake and Silva made a bet in their press-conference saying that if Silva wins, there will be a second bout in a kickboxing fight and if Jake wins, he and Silva will start an association dedicated to help the MMA fighters who are receiving a much lower rate from Dana.

I thought this match was just going to be a show match. Glad to hear it's going to be a real fight. I can say it's a nice match, both names are too well known to watch. I know Anderson Silva from MMA well, his boxing fighting is really good, I don't know how he prepared for the fight, if he had a really good camp, he could push or even beat Jake Paul. It will not be out of 12 rounds, I think if there are that many rounds, it will be against Silva.

[notblox1]

Fight is going to start soon, but that face-off was amazing and intense.
I would be really surprised if Anderson Silva is able to survive more than five rounds on his feet, and he is not bad at boxing at all.
Problem is Silva is his age, but if this fight was in MMA result would be very different.

[ChiBitCTy]

Fight should be starting in about a half hour yes?

[FinneysTrueVision]

This looked like two journeymen fighting. Paul is still not even remotely close to being a legitimate contender. He called out Canelo. Maybe he is delusional enough to think that he can beat him but the only possible outcome will be a vicious and devastating knockout where he is on the losing end.

I didn't watch the fight and if he call out Canelo, then obviously, it's for the money that is going to be in the table but I doubt that Canelo is going to bite on his offer. But for the sake of arguments, we could see a similar Canelo knocking out Amir Khan, its going to be scary.

I read that he drops Silva in the last round and he won in the judges scorecard, good for him.

Maybe he will go for another retired MMA fighter next.

The fight is not that bad, Jake Paul improve a lot he had a clean shot at Silva and he is defending very well, the punch that drops Silva, is because Silva is coming forward but it did not hurt Silva, and now he is calling for Nate Diaz.

I think Silva should consider turning pro and fighting fighters that are on the top standing, he can't be doing this forever since he is improving might as well take a shot at fighting real boxers in top standing, I'm sure he can still attract viewers.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I was going to watch this match yesterday put totally forgot as i had a very busy schedule at the time.
I am not surprised at the out come any way, Jake at 25 years old is way younger and more fit than Silva who happens to be approaching the age of 50 at his current age of 47.
To be honest with you all, if i was Silva, i would stop accepting fights from people younger than my age most especially when the gap is high, i can better still retire..
And again, a 25 years old challenging a 47 years old man to a fight is lack of respect inmy honest opinion, but anyways, congratulations to Jake on his underserved winning.

[Slow death]

the comments I've read about this fight just make me laugh a lot, this was a fight that silva was already at a disadvantage due to his age. the guy is 47 years old and Jake Paul is only 25 years old, Jake Paul is very young, he still has a lot of physical stamina. but silva, even at 47 years old, managed to make the fight last many rounds, the guy showed that even at 47 years old he still has some physical resistance, but next times he needs to choose fighters who are also the same or almost the same age as him, That way it will be a more balanced fight

I think Silva should consider turning pro and fighting fighters that are on the top standing, he can't be doing this forever since he is improving might as well take a shot at fighting real boxers in top standing, I'm sure he can still attract viewers.

he just has to avoid picking fighters that are too young, his age doesn't give him any advantage anymore when fighting young fighters, at least that's what I think

That's all Paul can do, fight old people who don't mind making some money off of it. For his age, Silva fought this fight very well and he kept the pace that young Paul set for him very well. I liked Silva more, he behaved like a professional, although it was clear that it was already difficult for him to be in the ring. Paul clinched, well, he tried to hit but it was clumsy. In such fights, there is no point in choosing a winner, it's just pointless window dressing.

It was a good fight and Jake Paul was able to knockdown Anderson Silva in the last round with a counter and i wished it was a 12 round bout and Jake Paul improved a lot and now i would like to fight against legit boxers even though majority of the boxers are ducking him. In the post fight interview he called out Nate Diaz and that is the route it will be going as Nate Diaz also showed interesting in boxing.

I just watched the replay. All I can say is that Anderson still has it but not really satisfying since he seem not giving it all. He is just too cautious because he knew Paul is indeed can KO him with one punch.
 
Nate Diaz was already planned long before Silva and Paul's fight was finalized.  Him calling Nate, is just like announcing who he'd be fighting next.

Even with the last-round knockdown that leads Paul to win the fight via unanimous decision many fans walk out disappointed with the scorecard result.  The unofficial record of SN had it 77-74, Silva since their tally records :

Round 1: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 2: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 3: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 4: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Paul
Round 5: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 6: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 7: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-9, Silva
Round 8: SN Unofficial Scorecard: 10-8, Paul
The end result of the 77-74, Silva

Watching the fight, I am convinced that the result of the fight is somehow the opposite of what should be the expected result of their fight performance.

[BitcoinPanther]

It isn't surprising the Jake Paul won the fight,  I already am expecting that no matter what is the performance on the ring as long as he didn't get knocked out.  Silve is a bit reserved, watching him on the round 1, it looks like he doesn't want to throw a punch and looks like he was already exhausted.

I think Silva should consider turning pro and fighting fighters that are on the top standing, he can't be doing this forever since he is improving might as well take a shot at fighting real boxers in top standing, I'm sure he can still attract viewers.

he just has to avoid picking fighters that are too young, his age doesn't give him any advantage anymore when fighting young fighters, at least that's what I think

Or Silva can just do exhibition fights against former boxing champions that are the same age as him.

Maybe he is not really serious with that, he is just calling Canelo for some attention and to make the people think he is the real deal while in reality he's the real clown. The fight was expected to end that way and also I never thought Anderson Silva was already 47 years old but still managed to play his role well with that fight.

He was really very cautious, even though he was walking forward all the time, he was closing in on Jake very carefully. She could have hit harder, but as you said, she knew she could get a harder hit from the counter. At the end of the match, Jake increased the tempo and strokes a little more. The result of the match and the referee's decisions were as they should be. Uncover Anderson Silva

[notblox1]

No surprise here, Jake Paul won like I said he will, but I expected fight won't go to distance with decision win.
I think he is going to call out some new MMA fighter for his next fight, maybe Nate Diaz or someone else.

He called out Nate Diaz (calling him a bitch and plenty more) right after his fight.  He also said Canelo could get it too...  I think either would be good opponents, or Andrew Tate, but it seems like Logan Paul is the one going after Andrew Tate after his appearance on the Suga Show podcast.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Logan Paul's appearance on Sean O'Malley's podcast that was posted yesterday.  Logan goes after Andrew Tate hard.  If Tate doesn't step up and accept a fight with Logan after this, similarly to if Nate Diaz doesn't accept a fight with Jake, their reputations are definitely going to take a hit.  Although I understand they're all different types of fighters, except for Canelo and Jake...

canelo or nate diaz, whoever is the next. definitely, jake paul is now banking on the next payout from his win over silva. wonder what dana white have to say about this, because jake paul and white have beef with each other. seems that paul is getting the interest of retired professional boxers or MMA fighters. can he really challenge canelo?

Tate would probably just laugh at Logan and not accept the fight. He didn't have to, but if his ego wants to he will - plus it's good for his business and brand that could get him more money. Nowadays these fights are no longer interesting for what they bring in terms of the art of fighting but rather just the drama surrounding the fight. Logan and Andrew can hype this fight even more by talking trash to each other, and guess what, easy payouts for them no matter who the winner is.

Dana White must have his blood boiling by now. Imagine his talents being punked by some Youtuber who just decided to train one day and fight against the once big names of MMA, and get paid a lot for it. Would be nice if Canelo accepts the challenge and show Jake how to get the job done. I don't really like Jake's attitude but I gotta applaud how well he carries himself and how well he hypes these matches.

[robelneo]

Jake Paul is better this time, but Silva shows his toughness  I don't like the decision it appears that the match is one-sided when it's not, there are a lot of clean shots coming from Silva, but we all know Silva is a sportsman and humble the knockdown gave the fight to Jake Paul but based on my analysis it should be close it could even be a draw, he is now calling for Canelo I don't think Canelo will give attention to Paul's calling him.

As much as I want Canelo to react on this matter, but most likely Canelo will just ignore it. Jake could wait until he's retired though.
Jake said in the interview, now that he have defeated Silva, people should understand that he really means to fight Canelo. A lot of people was like "are you serious?" Some people said, why on earth can he have choose who to fight next and even choose high level fighters, when young professional boxers can't even do that. They think it should be appropriate for Canelo to fight a pro boxer with the same age bracket as him if he's trying to be relevant in the boxing scene.

What was Anderson doing there in the press conference with Jake Paul? It was very awkward to watch because no one wanted to ask him questions and he was only drinking his water because he became concious that he should not be there. Was Anderson supposed to make Jake not insult Dana? But he was only smiling when someone asked Jake about uncle Dana. It was very clearly embarassing for him.

The fact that Jake Paul still struggling a little bit against Silva and he can't knock out an old person is a sign if he's don't have power to fight against a real boxer. If there's a rematch Jake Paul vs Silva on MMA bout, I believe Silva will win because Jake Paul will don't have any chance to fight on ground. Calling out Canelo because he already beat Silva is just for hype, we're already know Paul will die if he fight a prime Canelo.

Anyway it's nothing surprising if Paul win against Silva, I already said it when Paul is still an underdog in this match.

I don't know who's next but one thing is for sure for me, that won't be Canelo Alvarez and it will be much better for Jake if he will fight a bonafide boxer next and not some washed out fighters again because that will help his career more as he already got some skills and he is a kind of heavy hitter too. Better stop dreaming for a Canelo Alvarez fight because the current p4p king is not interested in fights that doesn't have any titles on the line.

Yes, Canelo will just laugh it out and I don't think that he is willing to lay everything on on the line to fight Jake Paul. And Canelo has some unfinished business with Bivol (assuming Bivol will win against Ramirez).

Maybe Jake Paul blurted out the name of Canelo, for hype's sake because Alvarez is the cash cow of cash cow right now.

It is just for publication's sake.  In boxing, it is great to have some kind of controversy or planned rivalry so that they will be the talk of the town.  It is indeed to hype and increase popularity but we all know that Jake Paul, with his current skill, doesn't stand a chance to even an average true boxer of his weight class.

Definitely, Canelo could kill him inside the ring, he never faced boxers that are on the top standing, and he should make a call if he fought a boxer that Canelo fought, fighters he fought including Silva are not in Canelo's league, no one will believe that he had a chance against Canelo, if he has an obsession to fight Canelo, then turn pro and fight boxers that are on the top 10, if he wants to be taken seriously then he should show seriousness and stop doing exhitions.

[hilariousetc]

Weird first round from Silva. Looked like he wasn't even arsed and he only threw two punches or something, but then comes out like a different animal in the second round. Jake didn't look troubled too much but he has got a decent chin on him as he took a couple of big hits from Silva but wasn't fazed.

This looked like two journeymen fighting. Paul is still not even remotely close to being a legitimate contender. He called out Canelo. Maybe he is delusional enough to think that he can beat him but the only possible outcome will be a vicious and devastating knockout where he is on the losing end.

That's all talk for now. If he was going to be fighting Canelo it would likely be at the end of his career when he's past his best. He's just throwing names out their for headlines.

I think Silva should consider turning pro and fighting fighters that are on the top standing, he can't be doing this forever since he is improving might as well take a shot at fighting real boxers in top standing, I'm sure he can still attract viewers.

This was Silva's third pro fight. He's not going to be challenging for titles at his age. He will just do one off money fights like this one when the price is right.

~
I read that he drops Silva in the last round and he won in the judges scorecard, good for him.

Maybe he will go for another retired MMA fighter next.

It was a good fight and Jake Paul was able to knockdown Anderson Silva in the last round with a counter and i wished it was a 12 round bout and Jake Paul improved a lot and now i would like to fight against legit boxers even though majority of the boxers are ducking him. In the post fight interview he called out Nate Diaz and that is the route it will be going as Nate Diaz also showed interesting in boxing.

It's a shame it wasn't 12 rounds. Jake would have likely finished him off for sure but maybe it was for the best at 8. Jake gets the knock down and win and  Silva doesn't take too much damage. It was nice to see the respect shown at the end as it looked like it was getting a bit spicy in the ring a few times.

Nate Diaz was already planned long before Silva and Paul's fight was finalized.  Him calling Nate, is just like announcing who he'd be fighting next.

Nate wouldn't be a bad fight for him. He's tough but not unbeatable and I think that fight puts him one step closer to a McGregor fight. I'd still like to see Jake against Tommy Fury so I'm hoping that will happen at some point as as least he's a current pro boxer his age so that should shut a lot of people up.

I don't think Canelo will take this seriously, if in case Jake Paul will call out for him.
Canelo is in the professional boxing career, whereas, Paul is still doing his exhibition matches.
But Paul calling big names is expected as he wants to make noise and see if anyone of them will take the bait.
He is still making money out of this, so there's no stopping now as he shown his "boxing skills" after his win over Silva.

[AicecreaME]

Here we go with another Jake Paul boxing match.

I don't know, but I'm so tired of seeing news about him being matched with professional boxers. People will really do anything for fame and money. Perhaps him going with more and more exhibition matches means more money to generate in no-brainer way that's why he do it over and over. I noticed he's always choose a boxer that is retired or way past his age in his matches. Maybe because to have a more probability to win because of the opponent's stamina condition. But it still infuriates me that he's given more attention rather than those boxers who deserve more.

I really do hope this time he'll get all the punch and strikes to be knocked out so he'll learn his lesson well. He can stick into his career being a so-called influencer and YouTuber because that's what he is good at, not in boxing. He and his brother are definitely doing fights just for the sake of money and clout they get. It's such a shame really to those boxers who trained so hard just to get where they are right now to be able to fight off with high caliber names in the boxing and mixed martial arts industry, only to be bypassed with some boxer-wannabe who barely underwent proper training for boxing.

I'm not really interested to watch the match but watching the highlight made me think that Silva is giving Jake Paul a hard time, compared to his fight with Woodley,  Paul was challenged by Silva, but his punches had no effect on Silva, and the knockdown is more of a flash knockdown, I guess Jake Paul will go on to continue calling names to challenge but no one will take him seriously if he wants to challenge no way, he also calls out Nate Diaz so there's a possibility that there will be a deal on these two because both fighters can make money and they are both equal in their fighting level.

[eightdots]

I really wonder what people who spend their lives thinking about this business think. I think we should ask them this question. They are the ones who will give the real answer. I am against doing things just for money. Stuff like this kills the spirit of the sport. I prefer that things like this not happen. But there is another truth. Advertising is very important in some sports. It can be done to attract a certain audience to that sport. When I think like this, I feel that the match to be held will contribute. I have stated both positive and negative opinions, so I would like to listen to people who are really involved in that sport.

You are right, he gave Jake Paul a hard time as we can see on his face that he was also hurt.  If  Anderson Silva was still younger, I think Jake Paul would really have a problem, but in this fight, he was already more than the age of Jake Paul, so that's really hard for him even how good he is when he was still a champion.

[ChiBitCTy]

I had a stream for this fight, so was watching some of the earlier fights and of course as soon as this fight started, the stream went dead and was unable to watch the fight live. Someone did post it on YouTube almost immediately after the fight ended so I gave it look over.  Just once again you've got Paul taking a fight without much risk.  The commentators said "he's taking a real risk/step up with this fight" but that's total bs. 

I'm not sure if I believe Silva really threw this fight, and it's just about the money, but I am sure that Paul is still scared to fight a legit boxer, and have to wonder how many more old guys he wants to line up before actually taking on a legit fight.  I mean will either of the Paul brothers actually take on a legit fight? What's the upside, they can at least still fight these big name over the hill guys for a while, and gain millions while doing so, I can't see them giving up this type of "schedule" anytime soon...but I hope they do man up and schedule something legit!

[Japinat]

No surprise here, Jake Paul won like I said he will, but I expected fight won't go to distance with decision win.
I think he is going to call out some new MMA fighter for his next fight, maybe Nate Diaz or someone else.
Jake called out Dana White again and said he can suck his d*ck   but it's best to listen his full post fight interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEJU7E8rJsk

He called out Nate Diaz (calling him a bitch and plenty more) right after his fight.  He also said Canelo could get it too...  I think either would be good opponents, or Andrew Tate, but it seems like Logan Paul is the one going after Andrew Tate after his appearance on the Suga Show podcast.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Logan Paul's appearance on Sean O'Malley's podcast that was posted yesterday.  Logan goes after Andrew Tate hard.  If Tate doesn't step up and accept a fight with Logan after this, similarly to if Nate Diaz doesn't accept a fight with Jake, their reputations are definitely going to take a hit.  Although I understand they're all different types of fighters, except for Canelo and Jake...  

canelo or nate diaz, whoever is the next. definitely, jake paul is now banking on the next payout from his win over silva. wonder what dana white have to say about this, because jake paul and white have beef with each other. seems that paul is getting the interest of retired professional boxers or MMA fighters. can he really challenge canelo? 

I don't know who's next but one thing is for sure for me, that won't be Canelo Alvarez and it will be much better for Jake if he will fight a bonafide boxer next and not some washed out fighters again because that will help his career more as he already got some skills and he is a kind of heavy hitter too. Better stop dreaming for a Canelo Alvarez fight because the current p4p king is not interested in fights that doesn't have any titles on the line.

Yes, Canelo will just laugh it out and I don't think that he is willing to lay everything on on the line to fight Jake Paul. And Canelo has some unfinished business with Bivol (assuming Bivol will win against Ramirez).

Maybe Jake Paul blurted out the name of Canelo, for hype's sake because Alvarez is the cash cow of cash cow right now.

Of course, seriously, why would Canelo risk everything on the line against the likes of Jake Paul doesn't have anything to offer. If it's money, Canelo won't still bother to answer it because he can make those money fights against a much proficient boxer. For now, there's no boxer who will get Canelo's attention except Bivol.

[TopTort777]

Agree, if Canelo was really up to money, then he would make an exhibition fight with someone from Asia, like Floyd Mayweather did. As to Jake Paul - cant wait when he will fight someone his age, but not veterans. Silva gave him a good competitive fight. If Jake is such a good boxer, why he did not call any real fighters, but keep on fighting against veterans. It is good to see that Jake is having progress in boxing, but he hasnt earn any respect yet.

You may have your own opinion and that's what you think is right but they also have their thought and that's what they think is right, and that's what they're doing. It's not really looking good if you're mostly watching those professional sports that includes guts and glory. But with Jake Paul's involvement and his brother Logan Paul, most of their matches are known to be just for promos and entertainment. So, set aside that feeling about professional battles as this is an obvious match for entertainment purposes only and they're most likely earning more than the typical pro matches.

That's indeed what's in my mind as well. Jake Paul is not into professional boxing because of boxing itself. He is into professional boxing because of money and popularity. And if he gets that by facing famous yet old and retired fighters who are not even full-blooded boxers, then why would he take the risk?

But this is the kind of fight and fighter that take down the reputation of the sport. All this bs fights should never be sanctioned by professional boxing agencies or regulators. Why are they even allowed to stage a show and call it a professional fight?

[Mauser]

I really felt bad watching that fight, Anderson Silva 15 years ago would have completely destroyed Jake Paul. The fight was very close, I really wish Anderson Silva would have won. At least he took the loss like a real man, saying that he goes home and trains some more. We can't change the past, but if Anderson would have ended his career in his prime, he would be the greatest middleweight UFC champion of all time. But then again he was paid for all the fights and it's still his job. Kind of sad that Jake Paul doesn't fight against people of his own age. If he feels so strong why not start offering rematches in Octagon? I am sure the fans would love to see MMA fight with Jake Paul. Would be a nice way to make my losses back and finally see Jake Paul lose a match.

The unfortunate Anderson has not only continued to fight in the UFC in his relatively old age, he also continued fighting despite a series of losses. Poor legend. Not only that, after he ended his UFC career, he shifted to professional boxing losing 2 of his 5 fights and even faced a much younger opponent in Jake Paul.

Has he not made enough money in the UFC to stop fighting altogether and retire from sports for good? Possibly, we all know how Dana shares his profit even with his prized fighters and champions.

Even if he makes enough money, I think he will still be fighting just like Floyd or Pacquiao. He had been in combat sports for a long time and maybe in his teen years he had been fighting especially because it's a culture in Brazil.

It's hard to stop since it's already in thier blood as warriors. Everybody's doing it also. Nate Diaz is also taking this route. IF they can just become a trainer, they may be doing it. But Bisping for example because he is good at talking, he still becomes a commentator of UFC fights. It's still related to MMA sports.

He's career will totally end here since its huge lose for him to get defeated by a youtuber. I don't expect to see him fight for another match because its like he's totally done after this huge defeat he encounter from Paul. We can say that this is really an unfortunate state for a called legend and he need to retire with that status since if he keep losing for an exhibition match for sure people will mock at him and ignore or forget his legendary status earned from UFC.

Right! If Jake Paul is really that serious on hoping that Canelo will answer his calling then it might be much better for him to forget his hopes and what he have said during the post-fight because he is not on Canelo's level and aside from that, he can't call himself a true boxer as well who fights through the ranks because he haven't started yet.

It occurs to me also about why does Jake Paul didn't fight any real boxer? There's so many boxers in cruiserweight division that will be good to start with but he have to accept the fact that money won't be flowing anymore, for now while he's still on the process.

[rhomelmabini]

Isn't this a win-win to whoever may benefits it? https://twitter.com/DamonMartin/status/1585752544739033088?t=mjnoIi9zIfjqcRT2UjeBiA&s=19

I'd like how they made that deal even this was for the money and entertainment purposes (though I just watched the fight, Jake was clearly at a disadvantage in the early rounds even with an aged Silva) but if they are always fighting for a cause then that was more interesting to know rather than being boastful as always on the camera.

I don't think he was fighting for anything before this neither, these are all "I have a known name, let’s use that to make some money" type of fights for a long time now,  and he can still keep doing that for sure. I still think that there was something shady if you ask me, Jake is not as good of a boxer as people think he is, he has a good punch there is no denying that, and he does have a solid chin, but his accuracy and his defence is a joke, so anyone who knows about boxing would know that Silva should have taken him.

Very weird situation that Jake is still boxing at this point, I would have assumed he would be humiliated already, a youtuber turned boxer doesn't sound like it makes sense to me tbf, but he keeps on shocking the world, interesting.

It's hard to compare Anderson's fights after retirement from Floyd or Pacquiao's. Floyd's fights after retirement are his fights. He is the star facing somebody who he will make fun of. He writes the check for his opponent. The same probably goes for Pacquiao.

But this is not what's happening with Silva. He is the one being paid like a worker. He is the one being made fun of. He is obviously not the boss. He's not the star of the show. He is clearly used. Anderson is under Jake Paul's paycheck.

Don't make me buy that "it's already in their blood as warriors." Let's all be honest here and admit that's it's all about money.

[OgNasty]

^of course it’s about money. Not only did Silva get a fat paycheck for this fight, where he probably felt it was easier than an MMA fight, but he also landed himself as president of a new organization to increase fighter benefits. I believe this is Jake Paul attempting to build his own UFC type company where fighters get paid more and he becomes a billionaire.

Would gladly read some comment on this video. What is this? Fake ? Weird angle? Touch of death? Give me your best comments guys. I know that one proper punch switches persons legs off. You dont have to be super strong to knock person down. You just need proper speed and hit in a proper spot in jaw. But this refers to regular people. Silva is a professional fighter with 25+ years experience.

That is a good catch from the other angle and looking at that angle, the punch barely hit Silva but in this video: https://youtu.be/DHfjQk6D-Fg?t=20,  we can clearly see that the punch hit Silva and it is strong enough to make silva fall.  That video isn't good enough proof but I do agree that the fight is somehow rigged.  We can observe that Silva isn't his usual self, and Silva looks like a boxer who doesn't want to throw punched especially on the 1st round.

An opposite angle screenshot of that looks like a missed punch that score a KO .

It's not wierd at all that he lost.  Although boxing and mma seem like a good crossover it's a very different sport.  Straight boxing and not being able to use take downs or legs is huge.  Defense is built different just like on offense.  Usually mma fighters are fine for a bit but over any decent amount of time they get exposed.

$500,000 is not bad. He's retired and old after all. With his age, he can't be doing something like this in MMA anymore. His level of fight and opponent are also very manageable. Risk is low. He was only fighting against a Youtuber who happened to discover there is also huge money in boxing. All in all, it must be good easy money. Not good to his reputation of course but reputation doesn't produce him a $500,000 paycheck.

I'd become a fan of Jake Paul if he is successful in building a competitor of UFC where fighters are treated and paid well.

500k is a lot indeed, but if I am not mistaken, then Tyron Woodley got 1 or 2 millions for their second fight, and a million for their first fight (prize money + ppv share). Silva is a fighter of a higher calibre. I think Silva must have been rewarded with a bigger cheque.

I find it sad to see how huge sports stars slowly convert into former movie stars, that shoot for rating B movies or participate in advertising crap like no name shaving creams, shampoos or potato chips.

Pretty much excited to see Jakes fight against a professional boxer (40+ yo veteran is ok for me), but not a former UFC fighter. Imho, if he posses himself as a boxer, fight with boxers then.

True, at the end of it all, what matters for these "actors" is the paycheck.  Though I do not think that they made their viewers and audiences satisfied with their performance and result since people boos the judges' decision.

Well, it isn't that much compared to Tyron Woodley, it looks like the revelation of Silva and at the same time misspoke the knockdown as knocked out made the sales of pay-per-view tank[1].  Affecting the overall profit of the match and at the same time the total payout of Silva.

They are forced to do such things because they have a lifestyle to maintain.  Most of these huge sports stars are not lucky or smart enough to save money or their business flops.  As we can see they often spend their earnings on luxury things as if there is no tomorrow so when their career meets its decline, they are forced to do anything to earn money to support their lavish lifestyle.

I don't expect to see him fight for another match because its like he's totally done after this huge defeat he encounter from Paul. We can say that this is really an unfortunate state for a called legend and he need to retire with that status since if he keep losing for an exhibition match for sure people will mock at him and ignore or forget his legendary status earned from UFC.

I don't think he was fighting for anything before this neither, these are all "I have a known name, let’s use that to make some money" type of fights for a long time now,  and he can still keep doing that for sure. I still think that there was something shady if you ask me, Jake is not as good of a boxer as people think he is, he has a good punch there is no denying that, and he does have a solid chin, but his accuracy and his defence is a joke, so anyone who knows about boxing would know that Silva should have taken him.

Very weird situation that Jake is still boxing at this point, I would have assumed he would be humiliated already, a youtuber turned boxer doesn't sound like it makes sense to me tbf, but he keeps on shocking the world, interesting.

Its kinda weird that Silva lose that fight and this is totally not a good sight to see especially he is legend so many fans expect that he will give good fight on this match. But looks like he caught off guard by Paul that's why he lose on this match.

Don't find it weird that Paul still participating on Boxing matches since for sure he always care about huge bucks that he can receive for just taking big matches.

It's not wierd at all that he lost.  Although boxing and mma seem like a good crossover it's a very different sport.  Straight boxing and not being able to use take downs or legs is huge.  Defense is built different just like on offense.  Usually mma fighters are fine for a bit but over any decent amount of time they get exposed.

That is right, Boxing and MMA is two different sport, so we can somehow say that Jake Paul got the advantage over the legendary Silva even if there's some people who are saying that Silva got the advantage because he is not that kind of beginner in the world of boxing. Yes that is also true because Silva indeed got few his own fights in boxing before he encountered Jake but that doesn't change the fact that he's an MMA fighter and not a boxer unlike Jake Paul who started his career in boxing. Someone could argue with this statement but that's okay because there's a high chance that someone doesn't share the same opinion too.

 I think Silva, a former UFC fighter, and YouTube celebrity Jake Paul's bout will be exciting, and I hope it will be decided quickly. The outcome of the fight didn't important to either fighter; instead, it was all about getting rich, being famous, etc.

The fight is over last month, the outcome is important for Jake Paul as he is pursuing a career in boxing, since you had no clue about the fight already happened, Jake Paul won the fight.

Jake Paul is calling out Tommy Fury once again, he pulled out of the fight twice and now Jake Paul said he is willing to travel to the UK to fight him and hopefully Tommy Fury accepts the fight and we can see him against a boxer, mostly boxers are ducking him even though they are not willing to give any credits to Jake Paul .
