Topic: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions - page 184. (Read 31662 times)

Silva is a very experienced fighter that can take a punch, but Paul is a heavy hitter. It's very hard to speculate here but I think it will come down to whether Silva can survive the first 1 or 2 rounds and feel his opponent. Usually very skilled and experienced fighters who don't strike very hard take their time and if they don't get hit hard early they'll keep finding openings and scoring later. I'd also bet my money on Silva.

Well, I really don't consider him to return anymore, after what he has gone through, and in my opinion, he can never fight the same way again, but in some cases, I think that he would surely miss those days when he is fighting inside the ring, but maybe he will surely be seen in some podcast with some MMA or boxing legends that he could talk some of the combat sports they surely have knowledge about I really misses seeing them going into details,

---

Well going into the Paul vs. Silva event this is my picks for some fights,

Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva

The stake odds for this match are 1.38 for Paul and 2.95 for Silva, in seeing this fight we should consider that Paul doesn't want to fight professional boxers but he would surely be trained for this match, though his enemy is an amateur in boxing, and is retired in the MMA, we would likely be seeing that as an opponent for Jake Paul, for me Anderson Silva will not allow fixed fights, and with this, I really think that he has experience with boxing, so this could be a close fight and might be a hard-fought-for Jake Paul, my pick is Anderson Silva,

But even though these brothers have lots of haters, they are successful in earning big bucks in all their fights. Logan Paul is inactive though and really not considering boxing as a priority sport. That's how they make money out of their profession even though many people dislike them.

That end up in the question of who's the real winner now and who ends up being bitter.

Jake Paul's status in boxing can still be saved as long as he will fight a real boxer within his league and not against a non-pro boxer and is already at retirement age even with how big those names are.

And Ryan further this with this statement,

To some extend Ryan is saying the truth here, I mean if a fighter wants to fight someone, then his manager or network affiliation should try their best to set things up. Unfortunately, unlike any other sports, in boxing there are a lot of stumbling block and sticking point as far as negotiations is concern.

And just like the Crawford vs Spence that falls apart, we don't want to miss this fight between him and Tank and for sure there will be a demand for it.

Tyson though has one exhibition match against another legend in Roy Jones.

So who knows, perhaps we will do it against Holyfield just for the sake of entertainment. Initially that was the plan, him and Holyfield, but it didn't happen and Roy Jones was the replacement.

So hopefully Mike can recover the soonest and see if he and Holyfield will just have one exhibition fight. For sure it's going to be another sold out tickets, just saying.

Yes, we all should be happy that he's in a better condition and hopefully this goes completely.

But I highly doubt that he'll make it back to the scene and have some exhibition matches. It won't do IMO because of what he has gone through. What he's up to maybe like for some commentary and just being a delegate for the aspiring boxers.

And like those podcasts that you've mentioned, a legend like him is probably going to be active into those.

The match would be tough and also will be fulled of actions from the both fighters. Silva have a large number of fans, one of the reason why his ticket sold out, is because he's popular in the ring. There's alot of people who underrate him, but I strongly believe he will definitely win the fight. Some gamblers have even place a bet that he might win, but some also bet against him, claiming that he might lose. I'm totally getting a bet place in favour of Silva, he's kind of tactical in his fights and also knows the perfect hit to throw for a punch.

It sure does cancel all plans.
But now he is back for a fight against Ortiz, on October 29.

What to expect? Lomachenko is the favorite and it's way far off the odds. Betting on him will just give you 1.05 of profits while 9.40 to risk it with Ortiz.
I think that already tells who will win this fight.
After this, Lomachenko said he want a fight with Haney. I will be looking forward for that to happening or for Bob Arum to make it happen.
Defeating Ortiz though should be the focus for now.

Probably, but they can show their face, there is nothing wrong about it. But for sure they could be some heat on them or as you put it, could be embarrassment for them because we don't like or not a fan of this exhibition match that Jake Paul and his brother made famous for in the last 2 years.

But if they are happy and making huge money, they why not? even the likes of Floyd and even Manny Pacquiao has a exhibition fight in December. So this hype will continue whether we are a fan of this exhibition match or not.

Same here, I'm not a fan of this Paul Brothers as well and haven't had an interesting encounter that made me excited to watch them in one of their fights, I didn't even watched his older brother, Logan, we he fought with Mayweather as both of them only wanted the money and giving some entertainment to their fans is the least of their goals.

There might be fans of Logan and Jake here but I guess they are just afraid to come out because they probably knew they will just get themselves embarrassed. Just saying

Yeah right, it's better to wait for the final announcement to make sure that both camps already sign the deal and they already finalize which network will cover the fight, until we don't see any updates everything here will continue as rumors and for that we already learn from those fights that fans anticipated but ended up not to push in this year.

Though we never know if they will negotiate again and maybe they will end up signing the contract, I'm referring to Crawford and Spence just to make it sure that I won't quote here.

I will be for Silva as well, I don't really want to say that Anderson Silva will be approving some of that Scripted fight if Logan Paul and Mayweather really prepared some entertainment value on it, but for me, I want to believe that Silva will not want that to happen and this is a fight that Jake Paul would likely regret, that is why I keep on saying this, because Silva is a boxer, and in the UFC he is likely boxing his opponent with a little mixed of kicks to set up the pace, but through and through he still likely been seen fighting as a boxer, so this could likely become ugly for Paul, but regarding his age, I saw him not doing much on the Israel Adesanya fight, so there might be some ring rust along the way, that I am afraid will show during the fight,


 

Well, I would obviously want to see a knockout but right now whoever will won at least it is not a draw, I would gladly accept it, for me there is really a potential for Jake Paul to be a professional boxer, but I am not including his brother Logan to this, only Jake, and likely Anderson Silva for me is a bigger fish because of his boxing experience, and fights, so this is surely a big obstacle that he has likely put himself so far in my opinion,


Well for me there is nothing really wrong if he doesn't make any comment about it, or whoever he wants to faced next, but I am so glad that right now he is in a better condition likely I really want to see him in another podcast with Henry Cejudo, or maybe talking with Khabib Nurmagomedov,

He's got the stance to tell anything he wants to say.

And those interviews of him like that got what he's got on his mind at that point. So, straight questions and at the same time, straight and frank answers from him.

A good news about him, he's in a better condition these days.

Like Bisping said, everybody wants to be a fighter/warrior and the Paul brothers have it in them to show the world. They wanted to prove the world they are not just youtubers riding the internet trends. Sure its disappointing to themselves as well if they are going to be known as clowns in boxing.

However the fight turns out, some people will still see it disheartening to see Paul exploits his way to make a living by fighting a legendary fighter whose way past his prime already.

I think I'll go with Silva this time.  The odds is tempting and I will let myself get tempted  .  I am not a Silva fan either but I really want to see Paul getting lectured by Silva in their upcoming fight.  Aside from that, there is this factor that I feel Silva is at an advantage and I believe it is crucial in a boxing match.

Sure? I bet it will change your mind if you'll know that Jake or Logan will face Mike Tyson next or the likes that doesn't really want rigged fights just joking mate.

Anyway, you really have a point and I bet Jake Paul will be discouraged to have some future fights if this fight will end up in draw, he better defeat Silva if he still want to see himself fighting in the ring, collecting cash from the revenues and PPV buys generated. Aside from that, I heard the odds of draw is too tempting.

Jake Paul and his brother are influencers and they have huge followers on Youtube and other social media apps. I think they are one of the most popular social media celebrities. And when you're popular and do something, your fans will follow and support you in any activities and sports you do. It's not like Jake Paul is a special kind of fighter, he is just a celebrity and most of his fans aren't fight fans. I don't even know a real fight fan interested in Jake Paul unless they get something in return like the boxing media, promoters, and networks.

It's like Justin Bieber and BTS doing an exhibition match. Of course, they will collect millions from PPV buys from their huge fan base. And this is the same reason why networks are willing to cater to them. This is business anyways. 

I am not. It's not hate, it's just that I don't like the way that he is the one choosing whom to fight. It's not the normal thing they do in boxing matches.
Yeah, he will win this one but I am not betting for him.
Most likely this fight is almost like a scripted one, like what they do in WWE. I hope I am wrong from that point of view.
Yet, it's still entertainment so I won't also pass at watching it. I am a fan of Anderson Silva so I want to see him fight again. That's all the reason I need.

The said fight has been in limbo for months but the fighters is keeping them alive through this social media accounts and if I'm not mistaken, there was a confrontation in a club wherein this two has some sort altercation. And then they go back to their twitter and fire back at each other.

I don't want to preempt everything, because this is a big fight even though they don't have any belts in the line. I said I don't want to preempt it's because of the Crawford vs Spence fight wherein as a fan we thought that it's already lock in until we find out that Crawford will have a fight this fight not name Crawford.

So let's see and wait till they settle down the sticking point on which network are going to televised this fight.

And that said experienced will give Jake Paul a tough fight, Silva is not just an entertainer but also a fighter who loves seeing his fans enjoy if there's nothing behind close doors(script) I also believe that Paul will suffer against Silva, though we don't know how they will be preparing for this fight and how they will come up inside the ring, it's safe to say that entertainment wise it can be fun without any scripted action and just a pure fight that we will see inside the ring.

I'll be on the side of Silva if I have some spare for this fight, risking as part of entertainment while waiting for the outcome of this fight.


It's all about money and if they can meet halfway, then the fight may proceed, we don't know yet if there's already a negotiation behind but for sure it will be announce or be leak around the web, let's wait for any update and see how things will be finalize.
