Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th

[Japinat]

~
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
