Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th

[Jawhead999]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
