Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe December 24

[TopTort777]

We are going to see metal jaw back in business this Xmas in Dubai in a fight against former 2-time Glory kickboxing champ Cedric Doumbe. What are your though on it? Guy is 34 only. 75-7 record in kickboxing, 7-1 in MMA and 1-0 in boxing. Does not look like an old guy in his late retirement 8 rounds in cruiserweight. Another rigged fight?

So his jaw has been healed after surgery after 10 or 11 months, he is now back to boxing.

If it is kickboxing, I would have taken Cedric Doumbe would win, but this is boxing. The chance that Jake Paul would win is not much, but it is higher than the chance that Cedric Doumbe would win.

Who would win such fight is hard to pick, but Jake Paul can use boxing experience to win.

Seriously, this youtuber still doesn't want to take a sit for a moment after he was sent to the theatre. Well why should he? There's a lot of money to be made in the ring. How does he want to die this time around?by KO I guess, since it appears he just loves being beaten to a pulp.

Why's he nicknamed metal jaw? (Trying to act like she doesn't know)

If it is kickboxing, I would have taken Cedric Doumbe would win, but this is boxing. The chance that Jake Paul would win is not much, but it is higher than the chance that Cedric Doumbe would win.

What are you talking about? Kick boxing is simply boxing with all other exclusively dangerous rules applied. I'll be damned if a 2-time champ is defeated by Jake.

[Maslate]

He is back in business, probably has learned his lesson not to fight professional boxer.

Now with his opponent who has an impressive record but does not have a good boxing record, I think Jake Paul will still be victorious here. It's a good Christmas fight, and Jake Paul really knows the timing and knows that people will spend money.

[Hispo]

...I'll be damned if a 2-time champ is defeated by Jake.

There is something about Jake Paul which I cannot simply taken seriously when it comes to boxing. Perhaps it has something to do with the countless controversies which have taken place within the Paul family. I don't know, It does not matter who professional and serious he wants these kind of events to be, I rather see them as a performance and some thing of viral circus on social media.

I supposed he is going to be knocked out again, as long as he gets a significant amount of money and attention he does not care.

The fact about Jake Paul is that he is a content creator that does mostly YouTube, this is the reason why a lot of people don't take him seriously. Even when it seems like he is getting involved in real fights it always turns out to be one of those staged. I don't see him as a real fighter. The fight between him and Mike Tyson was clearly scripted otherwise there's no way he would have lost to him. But just like you said, he's getting paid even if he ends up losing.

Perhaps if he pushed his YouTube career aside and fully dedicated his time to boxing and getting into the world of professional boxers, then people like me would take him more as someone who is trying to make boxing his way of life.
But he is rather a content creator than a profesional boxer, so it is fair to assume everything he gets involved in is being done for the sake of entertainment and not because he is actually into such discipline.

Still, I will take a look at this fight and see and ensues from it.

I won't bet anything on it because I see it as a performance and also I doubt there are serious bookies which would provide liquidity for this market.

That's the thing. It's almost like he does what he does just for entertainment purposes only. I can imagine how tough one needs to be, to accept a contract that says--- "You will facing a 2-time kickboxing champion in the ring". Like you said, it's like a family thing because Logan Paul would accept the same for a better treat, won't he?  

Still, I will take a look at this fight and see and ensues from it.

I really don't know what's happening but, if this is not just a charity game or some novelty competition, I find it demoting to the entire world of boxing. For that reason, I won't watch the match.

[2stout]

Ok, so another fixed or bum ass fight, unless he has moved in a new direction after the Joshua fight and is willing to take real punishment for money.  This could actual work as there are lots of people that would pay to see him (Jake Paul) get pummeled.  However, this wouldn't be good for long term health.  But maybe he is doing this in the short term to raise visibility and grow his promotion before deciding to be a full time promotor only.

Another rigged fight?

The whole thing feels like Christmas circus to me. When Jake Paul sets up fight at this level then it's natural for fan to be skeptical.

So Jake Paul will be playing boxing match against executed kickboxer! Not any kickboxing battle. So there won't even be any opportunity to utilize one of Doumbe's greatest strength here.

On the other hand, Jake has much more boxing experience. Although, I wouldn't discount the impact of his jaw injury and long layoff following his defeat to Anthony Joshua.

[Xackie]

Jake Paul still wants to risk his jaw for money. If I was the one whose jaw was broken by Anthony Joshua it might take 2 years before I get back to boxing. I don't even think it up to a year now , that he got his jaw broken. I keep imagine how fatal it will be for him if Doumbe mistakenly manage to get a huge shot on his jaw especially the part that haven't full healed, bro will regret his decision in accepting to fight this match. That aside, if I was to pick a winner, I will for Jake Paul, this because he has fought some tougher guys. So I expect him to get a win. But I pray he gets is jaw broken again so that he fully join his brother as a YouTuber.

There is a clear size difference here—Jake Paul is the bigger man and he will have both the reach and height advantage. Earlier it was the Saudis, and now Dubai is spending money on Jake Paul.

Cédric Doumbé is definitely an elite striker with knockout power, but his first and last boxing bout was in 2015, which went to a decision, and there is a 30-pound size difference. There could be a reason he never competed in boxing for the past 11 years. So even in that aspect, Jake has the distinct advantage.

[OgNasty]

I don’t blame him for picking what most would say is a weak opponent. He needs to have his jaw tested before he starts fighting big names again. Boxing a kickboxer should be light work for Jake and I’d like to see him get a win and get back in the mix. I’d really love to see him do an MMA fight against someone, or any fight with Andrew Tate.

So his jaw has been healed after surgery after 10 or 11 months, he is now back to boxing.

If it is kickboxing, I would have taken Cedric Doumbe would win, but this is boxing. The chance that Jake Paul would win is not much, but it is higher than the chance that Cedric Doumbe would win.

Who would win such fight is hard to pick, but Jake Paul can use boxing experience to win.

I think the Injury on that jaw caused by Anthony Joshua isn't one that even after healing would remain the same, Jake Paul's jaw took extensive damage and he might have slight deformity.
I don't think this would be a real fight, it would be scripted that's why Jake Paul would even have the guts to get back in the ring again.

I was thinking Jake Paul would have the courage to face Francis but that would be like a bad wish for him even if it's going to be scripted the dangers that he would face is not something Jake Paul will go for.

This might be another rigged fight because Jake Paul is involved, I don't really think that he has what it takes to challenge even the least athlete. Cedric might be rusty but he has a higher chance of winning Jake Paul but if this is an exhibition match then the script has already designed it for other gamblers.  I don't really know if this is a rigged match.

It is clearing that he is not fighting because he has the passion for it but rathe the money involved seems to be his multivation losing doesn't mean anything to him. My concern about Jake is to be very sure he has recovered from the injury he got during his last fight with joshua in 2025. Cedric is already used to the system and know his way out when the fight become tough.
It's really going to be entertaining during the December eve when people will be on holiday and to celebrate with there loved ones.

Well he didn't grow as a fighter, so its expected that he will picked fights. Maybe to make sure he's safe for any possible disastrous damage, then he can also earn big money in his fight.

But this is still interesting fight. Knowing he's fighting a former world champion, then also Doumbe still 34 years old.

Hopefully we cannot see a scripted fight out here, then what we see is real action.

I thought his boxing career was over after he was seriously injured against Joshua. Since this is a boxing match and Jake has a lot of experience, while the other guy only has one, it's going to be a win for Jake.

This is his comeback fight, and I'm sure he scouted his opponent very well; he doesn't want another Joshua scenario. It was a harrowing experience for him; he just wants to make a name for himself again in combat sports.

[Crypto_Timothy]

He is back in business, probably has learned his lesson not to fight professional boxer.

Now with his opponent who has an impressive record but does not have a good boxing record, I think Jake Paul will still be victorious here. It's a good Christmas fight, and Jake Paul really knows the timing and knows that people will spend money.

Exactly what i think it is, a Christmas fight that they want to use to entertain the public this December and of course because it will be boxing, they will give it off to Jake Paul and it becomes the talk of the December - New year conversations, dont get me wrong though, its going to be entertaining for sure but when i see a flier like this, and the match up i just know its for entertainment and not two men trying to see which is better at the sport of boxing.
Is Jake improving? certainly, he is, one thing about life is if you do something overtime, even if you dont know it so well, so long you are consistent with it, eventually you will get better. If Jake loses this Christmas fight then that would be a good shock to me but i will be entertained nevertheless.

It's definitely going to be entertaining mostly after having a metal jaw replacement surgery after being beaten to a loss. One thing is the experience that Paul has and the pain he has endured so far, so that makes him a better opponent with more chances of winning and am sure this ain't going to be rigged because he is definitely fighting someone with less experience thus making the match very balanced in a way.
I thought he was done with boxing but am shocked he is making a return to the ring. I can't wait to see the match even though I might have a lot of laughs with his funny moves.
