Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe December 24

[LOVER BOY 422]

Looking at this you don't need anyone to tell you that the match will be a tough one , so he think he has gotten enough rest as he excape the blows of Anthony Joshua in there previous meeting,  anyway I wish Jack Paul to be the winner of this match I'm indeed right on his back as one of his fans , we know too well that if it where to be Anthony Joshua that Jack Paul will meet that alone would have been a big fear to him but meeting Doumbe he still have a faith to win this fight on December, and I wish him to win this fight , but is not gonna be that easy for him but let's watch it.

[I_Anime]

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.

Is going to be fun to watch , is going make Christmas Eve. Even more enjoyable. Both fighters have their own disadvantages. First, Jake Paul is coming off a jaw injury he sustained while fighting Anthony Joshua (damn, that fight was epic ). He was also inactive after that same fight, and the same goes for Cedric Doumbe, who hasn’t been in the ring since 2024. Another disadvantage for Doumbe is that he has more experience in kickboxing than boxing. He’ll have to adapt to professional boxing rules without relying on his usual kickboxing skills.

Interesting matchup, I have never really considered jake paul to be a boxer though and his opponent is an A level fighter. We don't really know what they arrangement is going to be for this match but I can tell that Paul is going to get injured if he does not back down from this fight. I would not be surprised if this is all a promotional stunt or a way to get people's attention but all the same let's see what happens. After his injury he is still making an attempt to take on another fighter that is actually very brave of him, i hope it does not put him in a critical condition.

[Makus]

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.

Even if it's kickboxing I don't really think that Jake can actually stand a chance against doumbe, the man is literally built to kill but Jake on the other hand can be extremely adventurous, I don't know if he is just doing it for the camera or he just has a death wish. Well, may the best fighter among them win the match. Jake Paul has some experience there is no doubt about that but his opponent is on a different level entirely, winning is almost impossible.

[Shinpako09]

Jake Paul is taking a huge risk again for the sake of money. I just hope he gets to enjoy his hard earned money later. Doumbe is just 34, maybe not too young but also not too old. He may be in kickboxing but I don't think this would be an easy fight for Jake Paul. Jake Paul may have the height advantage but I don't think that will be a huge problem for his opponent as well. After all, Doumbe has an edge on experience with 91 pro fights with Jake Paul just 14.

I hope this fight isn't staged considering Jake Paul coming from a serious injury. Now, I wonder, whether he wins or not, if he takes a serious injury again, will he still come back to fight?

Jake wanted to be a pro boxer if I'm not mistaken, that's why he did take some fights early with former MMA fighter to sharpen his skills. But then when he wanted to be adventurous and fight a former Heavyweight champion, that's when he feels that he might not belong to the pro league as his jaw was shattered.

However, since he has his own company MVP that covers exhibition fights, then for sure he won't stop having this kind of fights in the future as he needs to stay in that business. As for this fight, if it is stand up then Jake Paul might have a slight advantage and if it rigged then for sure he will win.

[Darker45]

Can't say with certainty that it's rigged, but there might be certain terms in the agreement that are advantageous to Jake and disadvantageous to Cedric. But it's not a problem at all. Cedric won't mind that, most likely. He'd even praise Jake for giving him the opportunity.

This is Jake's fight. He handpicked Cedric even if there's no convincing reason to. He also promotes the fight. He produces the fight as well. He'll sign Cedric's paycheck, too. This is all about Jake. So, I won't be surprised if Jake's instruction to Cedric is not to hurt him.

I don't know about you, but to me it does not make sense to have a fight in which one of the two boxers actually have a stake on the event as a whole, when it comes to its organization, funding, advertising and other crucial things which are in place to push it forward. 

These kind of events are supposed to be organized by a third party with no direct link with the boxers of the events, everyone gets benefited by the event and there is less likely for one of the boxers to get favoured by the administrators or organizers of the fight.

It does not make sense Paul has a say in that matter...

Well, perhaps Paul's way of doing it leaves a poor taste in our mouth, but that's how he does his thing. And the reason why he can do that is that he's got the money and the fame. And he doesn't care much about how he creates his fights. He just wants to perform, put on a show, make money. He isn't truly a professional boxer even. He's just a Youtuber who has a wide following and a considerable revenue.

In a way, this is revolting because it kind of makes a fool of the sport, but it's also revolutionary somehow because he's dictating his own terms and not seeking the good graces of the sport's sanctioning bodies that are also as questionable and shady.

[Akaenyi]

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'm sure that Jake Paul, has definitely learnt his lessons not to cross his category after that jaw resetting by Anthony Joshua, I'm also sure that he has healed enough to make a comeback with a guy in his own category so to say. I'm sure that many of his fans and observers are curious to see his comeback to know whether he is still active in his category or maybe consider early retirement if his jaw cannot endure punches to his face. As for his opponent Cedric Doumbe, he's not as popular as Jake Paul, and as he's not had boxing experience like Paul, perhaps it can be an advantage for Paul, to win the fight. I think that it's going to be an interesting fight to watch especially to see Jake Paul's comeback.

[SamReomo]

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?

I think Paul can't beat Doumbe because he's too good at kickboxing and from his previous matches we can already find his fighting skills are at another level. Paul's only advantage is his height and reach other than that he doesn't have much to show in this match. So I personally think Doumbe will win this match but he he somehow losses the match then I get the idea that this was another fixed match.

I think Jake Paul has contract that forces him to keep on fighting. Even though he has millions, it is never enough, career or fame wont last forever, that is why he is forces to earn now as much as possible

Will Jake win this fight, that is a good question. His opponent is experienced enough. If someone say that guys from kickboxing are bad at boxing, check out Rico Verhoeven who gave a really though fight to Alexander Usyk.

Many dont like Jake because they think fights are rigged and his opponents are bad. But notice how with time level of his opponents has increased. Just fighting and losing to them will be a good boost of fighting experience. I admire that Jake is making sport popular. He is inspiring people to start doing any sport, rather than sitting their ass on a couch. Imho that matter more than judging if his fights are fake or not.

This will be worth watching. The jaw has grown back, and Jake Paul is putting on a new show. And Jake Paul has already fueled interest in the upcoming fight by stating that he will retire if he loses the fight.

"If he wins, I will hang up the gloves and call it a day," Paul said. "But, if he loses, the man who calls himself the best just got beat up by a YouTuber with a titanium jaw."

He's not going to retire, too many people waste money watching these fixed matches. He just running that mouth to get people talking and clicking. I hope the guy gets smashed and people stop watching these cash grab staged fights. It's disgraceful to the sport of boxing IMO.

Nope he's not, Jake Paul won't going to let those big money slip on his hands. I think if he could get more fights, then he will grab it.

After his fight with Doumbe, there's another possible fight projected for him and this is his potential match up https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/could-jake-paul-next-opponent-012833243.html

But actually I'm tired watching it, that's why I don't feel much any excitement about his upcoming fights. Because looking at the past ones, we can really conclude that all of his match is scripted and been set up in his favor.

I think he is returning to the ring too soon, especially after such complicated surgeries. Especially considering that his jaw already contains foreign metal implants, this could mean he will never fully recover. I think he talks about retirement because he understands that if he takes a heavy blow to the jaw and realizes he can no longer compete, he will obviously have to retire.

In predicting boxing you need to understand who is the strongest not the biggest, boxing it not like the game of football, Jake Paul for sure might win this game…I think the fight would be holding on December 24 in Dubai, Coca-Cola Arena, with the surprise of 8 rounds at cruiserweight 200 lbs…..

But it still sound funny how Anthony Joshua broke his jaw last December how times flys….

[fighter2627]

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.

We know that kickboxing is different from Boxing, because Doumbe is used to fighting in the boxing ring with his fists and legs, he is not used to fighting with just his fists,
and in this part his weakness can be that Paul can target him.

This is if Doumbe neglects Paul, but Doumbe's advantage will be that he can target Paul's Jaw which Paul can also defeat, but even so it seems that it is still difficult
to predict who of them will really win.

That's the right way to sell the fight: there is a retirement announcement and, at the same time, you're mocking someone, so people will get interested in buying and seeing the fight because of that interest.

Jake Paul is a real showman; he knows how to get a fight, and he knows how to sell it. I think people will still buy this fight out of curiosity; they want to know if he is fully recovered from his injury

[TopTort777]

People that dislike that Jake is boxing, and maybe having rigged fights, would you prefer him to return shooting pranks, stupidity, game streaming and crap like that on a 20 million audience? Would be a much better contribution to society More idiots would repeat wasting life on youtube creating valueless content. I would better watch staged boxing than staged prank.

I think he talks about retirement because he ...

Or because he has already build a name, gained audience, and now it is time to stop fighting by himself and focus more on his MVP boxing and mma promotion, especially if Netflix is throwing money into you and ask to organize fights.
