Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th

[Baofeng]

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.

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.

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".

Just funny though you will hear "baby oil" in the background, hehehehe.

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.

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.

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
