[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Andre August - December 15th in Florida

[OgNasty]

A couple days out from this fight and I’ve seen almost no promotion for it. Surely this can’t be good for Jake’s career unless we see another spectacular knockout. Only reason I remembered this fight was even happening was that Jake Paul is on social media today saying he’s a bigger name in fighting than Conor McGregor, which is delusional.

It's probably because this is not a PPV, that's why almost no promotion on this fight. Although DAZN will be the exclusive platform for US and some countries and the Sky channel in United Kingdom.

And based on the odds, Paul is going to win this fight. What's interesting is that after this fight, who will be his next opponent?

This is just a tune up fight for him, maybe rematch with Tom Furry for bigger money.

I don’t think he’ll get another shot at Fury. KSI posted on social media today that Jake has fallen off given his event isn’t even sold out so KSI will not be fighting him in the future. Jake is about to pivot from fighting social media people to fighting real boxers, so I think this fight will be the norm going forward for a while.

I haven't heard of Andre August also, but I took a little research of this man's background and he is indeed a boxer, although pretty much unknown in the boxing world. Although he has only fought once in the last 4 years, he was fighting against somebody who was undefeated. The catch though is that even if Brandon Martin was undefeated, he only had a very limited experience and he wasn't really fighting high-caliber fighters.

Jake Paul's desire to become a serious boxer might backfire on his fights' popularity and revenue.

Only reason I remembered this fight was even happening was that Jake Paul is on social media today saying he’s a bigger name in fighting than Conor McGregor, which is delusional.

This fight is right in between Ryan Garcia's comeback fight and the PPV event is Saudia Arabia featuring Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. A YouTuber vs. an Uber driver is a hard sell so DAZN is rightfully treating it like some small event on a weekday. This is the equivalent to one of those indie shows that air on UFC Fight Pass. It would be ridiculous to try and hype it up as some really big deal just because Jake Paul is involved.

[NotATether]

Oftentimes, the terms "cab driver" and "Uber driver" are used as slang terms for fighters of low quality but Jake Paul's opponent is a literal full-time Uber driver. It's as obvious of a cherry pick as you are going to see. The odds will likely be very wide in Jake's favor, that's why I don't find it an attractive bet.

To be honest, I'd rather watch a cab driver fight an Uber driver than this snooze-fest (literally).

Meme fighters don't need promotions, they just promote themselves by being memes.

It will backfire in case Andre after many years of inactivity pulls off a good performance, like what Ngannou did to Tyson Fury, so Jake should not let this thing happen, Andre is a fall guy here, and preparation for better fights for real boxers for Jake, so Jake should make sure that he dispose of Andre as quickly as possible to erase the Tommy Fury loss.
Jake just needs to get into a win, so he picks a fighter that many think will have no chance at all, talking about cherry pick fights I consider this as one of the easiest fights on Jake Paul since he knocked out those MMA fighters.

Yes, his opponent is unknown, he is probably taking an easy route right now and most likely just want to just be active in boxing. Maybe in his next fight, he will pick someone that is going to be a good opponent for him.

I doubt though that it will backfire on him, he is still very famous and influential, and even if he is fighting unknown fighters, he can still generate a lot of revenue and money for him and his company. But being a serious boxer and turning pro might be very different and not sure if he can make it to the pro ranks specially at the division that he is in right now.

Don't worry. Nothing wrong will happen to this match. This is Jake Paul's game. Andre is nothing but a cab driver paid by Jake Paul. This man won't bite the hand that feeds him. The fact alone that of the thousands of cab drivers the popular celebrity Jake Paul has chosen him means he's blessed. He will be paid with a juicy amount. That's enough. If he wins against Jake Paul, he will be seriously reprimanded secretly because his role is to lose. Lol. Aside from that, his win doesn't mean he is building up his career. He only defeated a Youtuber. So he better stick to his role and he might receive a bonus. Lol.

Surprisingly this topic is dead. Previously Jake fights heated up a lot of discussion. This time imho Jake has failed with choosing an opponent. Not because Andre August is good, but because his media is nothing. Nobody knows who Andre August is, while Jake whole boxing career is build on PPV sales. How much it usually cost to watch Jake Paul fight live ? 30-50 bucks ? This time this fight is on 9,99/month subscription

Well they have the weigh-in already, and surprisingly, Jake Paul weight almost 200-lbs for this fight. And so this is a career high for him, he used to weight around 170k'ish in the beginning and in the last fight he was 185-lbs.

Is he targeting the HW division now since it's one of the hottest when Ngannou entered the pro ranks?

But I do agree that his opponent Andre August is not very known in the boxing circles that's why there are no hype and this will really hurt Jake Paul fighting bums and August is just here to show up and get paid by Jake.

You gotta give props to Jake Paul when they’re due. He knocked that Andre dude out in the first round with a wicked uppercut. Even the clip made it seem like there wasn’t much hype in the building but you have to consider this mission accomplished if you’re Jake Paul. A brutal knockout on a real boxer… That’s what people said he couldn’t do…

Jake Paul continues his reputation as a bum crusher. There is no surprise whatsoever that this fight ended in the first round. Jake accomplished the same result against Andre August as did Eric Abraham, who currently holds a 7-16 record. If that's what someone considers a "real" boxer then their standards are incredibly low. Andre August is a real boxer in the same way that a benchwarmer on the worst WNBA team is a real basketball player.

That was a legit KO, and a good win for him.

However, August ain't really at par with the boxing skills of Jake Paul as bookies knows Jake Paul gonna win the fight.
As for the betting odds, you can tell that the winner was the heavy favorite.

Jake Paul -600   Andre August +430

Maybe it's time for a rematch against Fury was Paul that time when he lose via SD was a slight underdog, maybe if he could beat Fury in a rematch, we can tell that he really has improve a lot as a boxer.

Yes, and probably this is not a fixed fight, I mean that KO is wicked, so we should give props to Jake Paul. However, August could be a consider as a pro boxer, but still though, his records are questionable. I think it takes more to really be recognized by boxing fans to be a real boxing. Nevertheless, if we look a this weight, he could be a CW and up in the pro ranks.

And it's true as per the odds, Jake even a non-pro is a huge favorite, so they know something, or at least the odd makers think that it's going to be a mismatch and that's what we see. For sure, Jake will look for another "pro-boxer" in his next fight and be the next victim so that his hype is going to continue.

This is way too easy for Jake Paul, and everybody expected this to happen, Andre cannot put up a decent defense all Jake has to do is find an opening and create a timing to unload that heavy punch, in this case, a right uppercut, it's an epic mismatch I don't think Jake Paul should be proud at all for a match that many thinks is predictable, there's report that Carl Froch wants to face him who is ten years retired but we still need a confirmation on this.
I hope Jake Paul stops cherry-picking his fight if he wants to be a boxing contender fight a real contender so he can rank up, The boxing community wants a real fight, not a show.

I guess Fury would love for a rematch as he knows how much money the fight will bring to them. However, can Jake Paul agree with that considering he's been winning recently with easy fights. After the Tommy Fury Split decision loss, he had 2 straight wins (including the recent fight), first was UD and 2nd was KO, fans should be hyped with how Jake Paul perform, so it'll gain more attention if Paul would choose a fighter that has a good boxing skills like Fury if the latter can't be possible to be his opponent.

Jake's next fight should be challenging, if not people will lose interest in his coming fights, a rematch with Fury is interesting enough just to get even and to make him eligible as a contender in the cruiserweight division, or if not for Fury someone popular in the Cruiserweight division or not necessary in the Cruiserweight but nearest it that could pull Jake's attractions in boxing and PPV sales again, if he keeps doing this, like this fight against Andre in a short period he will lose his appeal and people's interest, right now there's a lot of criticism on this fight.

[Slow death]

I didn't watch the full fight but I watched the replay of the fight, in my opinion Jake Paul was very good in this fight, he constantly put pressure on Andre August and managed to do well in the attack, his punches seemed to me to be very effective from the beginning of the fight which in my opinion caused damage to Andre August every time he was hit and until Jake Paul threw the punch, it was funny how Jake Paul celebrated when he landed that punch on Andre August and then Andre August fell, that showed how Jake Paul is more evolved in boxi, I believe that many people who had doubts regarding his victories and his ability to go far in boxi, at this point they should have stopped having those doubts

For me, Jake Paul could start to be seen as a professional fighter, he should start doing professional fights, he has the potential to go far in this sport, of course there are many good professional fighters who are in a very low category and who could be strong opponents for Jake Paul, but we will only know how far Jake Paul can reach if he starts fighting against professional boxers who are at a low level of classification and every time Jake Paul manages to win then we can start to estimate how far he can reach . Anyway, congratulations to Jake Paul, it was a deserved victory

Yes, I think that will be the goal of Jake Paul, to rematch Tommy Fury as he lost that fight. And yeah, for sure it's going to produce good money again just like their first fight. I would just imagine the promotion though, specially with John Fury again, hyping his son's fight and obviously Tommy mouth as well running.

So I guess this is the fans wanted for Jake Paul.

As for this fight, we all now what's the result are, it's that we didn't expect that this is going to be easy for Jake.

And most especially if the fight will end up Jake Paul being the winner. For sure this will be an automatic trilogy, and again, another huge money will be coming. I think they should work on this as both has been active after their fought, so they are on their prime and the fans would really appreciate if they'll bring a fight that people would not think it's another cherry picking strategy by a fighter.

The first one was close, it was a split decision, so I think Jake Paul will be more motivated and probably more confident than the last time they met.

Not much pressure from Jake Paul now since he's not undefeated anymore, so I like to bet on him if that fight will be materialize.

I didn't expect anything unexpected in this fight I did not even bother to watch and just waited for the news and watched for the highlights, there's no resistance on Andre, it is pretty obvious that Andre is not the kind of fighter who deserves to be in the ring against a power puncher like Jake Paul.

I don't want to praise a fight or a fighter where there is a mismatch, we are all aware that Jake Paul is going to knock out his opponent if there is another fight like this for Jake Paul maybe I just ignore the thread because it a useless topic, he should go for someone who is his match people are paying to watch, writers are taking effort to write and the network is spending money to telecast, Jake owes the community to show something different in his next fight.
