Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe December 24

[Kelvinid]

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.

I'll also go with Jake Paul this time. He has a lot more advantages than Cedric himself, and Cedric being the GLORY kickboxing champion isn't enough to beat the records of his opponent. And when it comes to ring boxing experience, no matter what angle we'll see it, it seems Jake Paul has gained an edge over his opponent. But let's see how this fight will turn, this will surely be a merry christmas for someone like Jake Paul.

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.

I got it why you people are skeptical about Jake Paul's fight. His career featured many entertainment driven matchup. There is also controversy regarding opponent selection.
But who knows how much Jake has physically recovered since getting knocked out by Joshua!
After jaw fracture, fact that it appear healed from outside does not guarantee that fighter will be able to take punches just as they did before.

So it would also be mistake to consider Doumbe an easy opponent. He has kickboxing background and knockout power. Although professional boxing experience is very limited. So this could be relatively manageable comeback fight for Jake. But it is not risk free imo.

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?

Let's give props to Jake though for fighting Joshua and then have his jaw broken. He could have learn his lessons that hard way in that fight. But then, when everything is back to normal and his doctor said he can still fight, then he goes again.

But it could be rigged as Jake needs another win in his career to continue the hype and making money. I remember that he was even calling Canelo before, and then

Jake Paul has renewed his interest in fighting Canelo Alvarez after the Mexican superstar reclaimed a world championship with a victory over Christian Mbilli.

Jake Paul hasn't forgotten about a potential showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and the YouTuber-turned-boxer made that clear following the Mexican superstar's comeback victory on Saturday, October 31, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It's more of a mental battle for him, and I don't think that this is going to be rigged by Jake. Although it could be a careful match making for him as this is a comeback fight for him and so he chooses an opponent that might have a background on martial arts, but his stand up is limited.

So if everything works out for Jake Paul, then this could end in a decision win for him. And also we will see how he will overcome that mental scar from that AJ fight as it's going to be hard for some boxers after that brutal lost and your jaws broken.

Since this fight will be in Dubai where boxers usually receive bigger purses, I expect that it will be another easy millions for Jake Paul. Last time he fought an exhibition fight with Mike Tyson, he claimed that he made $40 million from that fight, so this one although probably lower but should be at least $20 million. This is easy money, that surgery doesn't even cost him $1 million so as long as his chin is functioning well right now, then it's good to be back in business.

it will be a merry Christmas for the 2 as no harm will be done, it's like robbing money from the fans. 

[cryptoaddictchie]

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.

Well if he wants that money that badly this kinda match is inevitable. I am actually waiting for any schedule this guy would set up and now its here. I guess Jake Paul gonna have a huge money on this bout. Im just curious why he just doing exhibition matches whereas he can focus and do a professional one and got serious training for match ups.

it will be a merry Christmas for the 2 as no harm will be done, it's like robbing money from the fans. 

Then the fans love to be rob at all. The winners of this event will surely those two.

[Inwestour]

My impressions of the upcoming fight are still mixed. On the one hand, Doumbe is certainly a dangerous fighter, but he's dangerous in kickboxing and perhaps even in MMA, where he can use his legs and all the other techniques. In professional boxing, he's had only one fight, and that was 10 years ago.

That's why I think Paul could feel relatively comfortable facing an opponent like this under boxing rules. Of course his metal plates in the jaw are a major concern, because a solid punch to the jaw could potentially damage them and cause Paul incredible pain, forcing him to stop the fight immediately. But that's his responsibility, if he believes he's ready for this fight, then let him give it a try.

I am somehow sure he has used punches in kickboxing So dont look on Doumbe as a fighter with only one boxing fight years ago. I dont think that punch in jaw would give more damage effect than usually, as he has a metal bar in it. Probably jaw became even more durable.

I have more question to people who were saying that Jake is cherry picking his opponents. Doumbe is not a retired boxer, he is still active fighter, he has a good record. Does not look that it is a cherry picked opponent this time. Notice how with time, Jakes is fighting stronger opponents gets damage and improve his boxing, but people still think he is fake.

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

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.

The opponent has been carefully selected so that Jake will win easily. Doumbe is a welterweight in MMA and kickboxing and is much shorter than Jake who is a cruiserweight/heavyweight. We can see that Jake is back to cherry picking opponents that are at a significant disadvantage. When Usyk fought a kickboxer, at least he did it against somebody his own size. They have weight classes for a reason. I see this as nothing but a mismatch.

This is as obvious of a cherry pick as you will find. Don’t just assume that this is a fair fight based on Doumbe being a champion in a similar sport more than half a decade ago. Jake relies on casual fans being uninformed to sell these blatant mismatches.

Seems pretty obvious but when it seems obvious my guard is up,,, bookies are advising on this so they want to squeeze in the odds to make bettors fall, this is what I always think. Mismatches are the dream of house edge really

That's why I don't like exhibition fights, except if it's Manny Pacquiao. wait, I take that back, I actually like exhibition fights, especially when Anthony Joshua destroyed Jake Paul's jaw. Jake Paul thought he could beat a champion, at that time he seemed a bit delusional to sign up for that fight but Joshua being the bigger guy and a KO artist did not hold back he was really there to destroy Paul, now Paul is back but we will not see him fighting a heavyweight champion again for sure.

I do hope when someone gonna fight Jake Paul they dont act and do their usual fighting stance and moves so that Jake Paul will realize that boxing isnt just an entertainment showcase where he can land an exhibition fight to whoever he wants to show off. We all know that this is a money matter but lets hope theres no contract regarding not fighting seriously. I wanna watch a gull blown fight with what they known for and not just for the dollars.

Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe December 24

Wow, boxing between Jake Paul vs. Cédric Doumbé is really exciting, is Jake Paul really serious about fighting the former kickboxing world champion, I think Jake Paul really chose an opponent who has a terrible KO record, if this boxing actually happens on December 24, I'm pretty sure Jake Paul will suffer the same fate as against Joshua a year ago, losing by knockout.

Boxing fans probably all of us know Doumbé's career in the world of French martial arts, he has a name and a brilliant career in the famous kickboxing event, Doumbé is very well known in boxing as the nine-second knockout, I'm optimistic that this time Jake Paul has also chosen the wrong opponent.

If this fight is done professionally then there's no way that Jake Paul would stand a chance against such an opponent. Looking at doumbe's record it shows that he is a great fighter, jake Paul on the other hand is an amateur boxing athlete that's centered more on YouTube and other social media platforms, this is the reason why I think it's going to be an exhibition match. Whether he wins or losses he is still going to make money from the fight.

Ya, but Doumbe's wins were all in kickboxing right?  Take a look at Andrew Tate's record in kickboxing and look what happened to him against a terrible boxer...  I grew up training a little bit with kickboxing and knew a professional fighter.  The thing is, it always seemed like you were fighting someone who couldn't fight.  Something about kickboxing doesn't attract the best fighters.  It has always been this way.  There is a massive difference between a kickboxing gym and a boxing gym.  You don't want to walk into the wrong one and ask for a spar.  They are 2 completely different experiences.

He has 1 win in boxing along with his history of fighting in MMA and kickboxing, so that's a good sign. Does anyone have a video of Cedric Doumbe boxing match? I wonder what his fighting style looks like in boxing.

Just curious, is this an exhibition match or a sanctioned fight? The article didn't mention if it's a sanctioned or an exhibition match.

Another rigged fight?

Maybe, and it wouldn't be surprising if it is. This fight is probably a way to boost Jake Paul's name in boxing again, and Cedric Doumbe accepted the fight for the money.

Rigged or not, he's going to win this match; this is his comeback fight after the injury, and he will not blow his comeback, he will make his comeback good by being dominant. If he loses this match its the end of his career in the ring, so he is not going to blow this one.
His opponent has a good record in kickboxing and MMA, but this is boxing, and many of Jake's past opponents also have good records in kick boxing and MMA, but Jake easily disposes them all.

[boyptc]

It's a perfect timing that people have money to splurge on these staged fights. While both earns a lot, the glory goes to Jake Paul as usual.

Just curious, is this an exhibition match or a sanctioned fight? The article didn't mention if it's a sanctioned or an exhibition match.

According to this article --> Jake Paul to fight kickboxing champion Cedric Doumbe on Christmas Eve as YouTuber's opponent is revealed

It is a sanctioned fight.

His meeting with Paul will be a professionally-sanctioned eight-round cruiserweight clash, contested at 200lbs with 10oz gloves.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

Well, simply say that Jake Paul has more or better chance of winning than Cedric Doumbe has which I personally would also agree to.
I am not a big fan when it comes to boxing and its kind or related kind of sports, so I am not that familiar with most of the fighters/boxers but ive had a couple of opportunities watching Jake Paul perform inside a ring and man!, I think the guy is absolutely good.
This is my first time coming across the name "Cedric Doumbe", and my assumption (which lead to my final judgement) is that if this dude was as good as Jake, then he would or should have been more popular and I should have heard or read about him earlier than now.

Just an assumption any way, I might be wrong.

[Asuspawer09]

I'm surprised Jake still came back after his jaw injury. I mean, he already has millions of dollars no need to do this kind of fight. I mean, I guess he already do like boxing a lot to still do matches at this point, thats a huge respect to him for sure. His one of the biggest star when it comes to promotion maybe there was some kind of contract to make him comeback but still.

Cedric Doumbe was not active in the past years, It's scary when someone cameback for sure this guy have a lot of improvement. He was popular in France, I've heard. so for sure this is going to be a huge fight, but jake was just bigger than him but this guy is a kickboxing champion.
