Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.
Not surprised to see that the Paul brothers still have this type of fight. Well, just another buck making match for them and as well as for Anderson.
The match is said to happen by October, no odds yet for this match on stake but most likely we'll see when we go near to the match date.
I'm surprised that those kind of fights are still a thing, I could understand that when we were in the middle of the pandemic and there was almost no sports events being held all around the world and people were extremely hungry for anything that seemed to be even remotely related to sports then those kind of fights got incredibly popular, but now that we can see professionals boxers fighting at the top of their skill then I do not really see the point of those fights anymore.

Not sure though if Broner or someone in his camp cared to give some evidence that proves he has some mental issues that's why he backed out from that fight. Who wouldn't be so pissed about that? Grin You've allocated all your time and effort for a certain boxer to study his moves in the ring and Figueroa is really looking forward to fight Broner in the same ring but unfortunately, Broner turns his back on him.

Oh well, we really will not know the real reasons for now, maybe they just said to the organizations that AB has mental issues and can't be bothered and so he wanted to cancel the fight, so it is what it is. This could be the new norm of excuses if fighters just wake up and doesn't what to fight anymore. For sure Broner will get a lot of judgement on this one. Specially on his style and arrogant and self-important this guy is when promoting his fight.
Evidence should be provided or if not there should be penalties that must be imposed.
I read an article before that Figueroa's camp has some evidence that Broner is not really in a bad mental state.
He even called it just a reason to "cop out".
I guess this is the next bad reasoning after the Covid. Figueroa's fans are still not satisfied with what happened (loss to Lipinets) and all the blame are on what Broner did. I guess it really sucks to prepare at a full blow for your real match but will end up fighting a different boxer.

I think, Figueroa's camp should let things go.  Besides, it is their own incompetence that made them lose the fight.  It does suck to have the opponent replaced at the last moment but if the fight goes the other way around and Figueroa's won the fight, I doubt there will be an issue like this.  Besides, both fighters had given the same amount of time for preparation for the strategy since both fighters are notified at the same time.  

Figueroa's had move forward already, of course there could be what if for him, maybe he can beat this version of Broner. But he has found his peace already, and just retire for good and focus on his family. We can't say the same with Broner though, I think he will still continue to fight for some money because he has a lot of mouths to feed.

Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time.

Yes it is, https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/8/30/23328607/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-reportedly-set-for-october-boxing-bout

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is about to go down.

TMZ reported Tuesday that Paul is set to face longtime UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend Silva in a boxing bout in October, with a location still to be determined. An initial report from NoSmokeBoxing has the bout scheduled for Oct. 29.

MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz reached out to sources with knowledge of the matchup who confirmed that the bout is in the works.

Still a good fight and it make sense as it could still make a lot of money for both of them. But we all know that Anderson is way past his prime so all the advantage points to him.

Things already happened and no matter what the fans would feel about the result, they can't do anything about it anymore. They better accept it while still supporting Figueroa at the same time. Issues like this often happen especially if the fans didn't reach their expected result. If they have complaints about it, they should have provided rete proof to support their claims but since they can't provide one, I guess the best thing to do for them is just to accept defeat.

But he is not old yet, if he wants to continue fighting then he can do it, however, he might not be making good paycheck unlike before because his popularity has already gone down. His lost to Manny was one sided, but the fans could understand since from the very start, we already know that Broner's chance to win is very slim.

I'm on that opinion, maybe the money that him and his camp will be receiving ain't interesting anymore and the mentality inside him about fighting is not that important I mean he don't have the good career to protect so maybe he's not interested to go inside the ring or he's not willing to be trained that hard and try to win a fight and hype his name.

Or, another thing is promoters are trying to make a writeup about him and try to attract readers, especially his fans to push him

to make a comeback, just speculation though but also possible. It's business, so making things like this might engage people and
brig possible tickets conversions when he signs another deal.

When he was still a popular boxer, there are plenty of videos circulating online about how lavish he is when it comes to spending his money. So now, I think he might be indebted because he ain't making a lot of money, and if he still keeps his old lifestyle, he sure is facing a big problem until now.

A very good reason for him to fight and make money, or he just wanted to retire and copy how retire fighters making money, I mean he can do exhibition fights, much lighter and he don't need to train that much, Just my opinion and I'm not sure if that's the real score. But along the way he still needs to make money and since he is still young and he can still fight, a chance to come back or to make some decent earnings is still possible for him from this sport.

Adrian Broner should have announced his retirement if he doesn't want to fight anymore After his loss to Manny Pacquiao he isn't the same anymore, he doesn't want to take a fight mostly, he sure is not the same Adrian Broner back then, in my opinion,

Adrian Broner is already showing signs of inconsistencies even prior fighting to with Pacquiao.

I'm not even sure why he is considered to be an opponent to Manny Pacquaio although he is a front-runner during that time. The result of that fight against Pacquiao is not even close and his final score is really bad.

Broner is still young at age 33 but seems his fighting performance is almost like around 40 years old already.

Too much partying contributed to the degradation of his career, if you are not a very disciplined fighter it will catch up with you, Pacquiao lasted long in his career because of his outstanding discipline, even if he has no scheduled fights he still trains hard, he's been like this since 12 years old and he never stopped training,  boxers after long inactivity gain a lot of weight, in the case of Broner his reflexes and power are not there anymore and besides all the fighters in this generation are tougher and more discipline.

Yeah, that's really affecting them if they start embarrassing their millions and failed to continue their routines. Fighters who stop or lessen their time with trainings and drills mostly gained a lot of weights. If there's no self-will, it will be hard for them to win back their fighting form and the chance of winning is also slimming since the body conditions are no longer the same.

Exactly. If Adrian Broner retires at an early age then this might mean the mental health problem was true. Something is bothering him or some sickness hit him as most boxers do. All the critics about him just copping out against Omar Figueroa will be shut down as he hangs his gloves.
It's just sad that he won't be able to maximize the length of fighting as other boxers do. Like Manny. 40+ years and still kicking for millions of dollars.  Grin

I think the Manny Pacquiao lost was the final nail in the coffin for Broner's career. But it was really Maidana (his first lost) that really haunts him because after that he was really exposed as just a regular fighter, and when he step up next against Shawn Porter he then suffered another lost and then to Mikey Garcia. So when Manny beat him, we could say that he is already on the downside of his career. and no longer that hungry, and this could start his career as a journey man. Maybe just 2 more fights and then his done for good.

Atleast both of them made an impact on Adrien Broner's career, to simply put it Broner was really cocky during the weigh-in and said some weird stuff on Maidana, Man! I really love that Marcos Maidana has humble Broner, that was the first loss that Adrien Broner has changed in his fight patterns indeed after seeing that fight it was the time everyone is seeing Broner just drop down to the canvas, it was really the 1st time Adrien Broner felt the loss and shame so it really was the one that lingers, but for Manny Pacquiao, this is his last shot he thinks he can beat Pacquaio so he can get his confidence back but it was all to naught when he was shown the power of Manny Pacquiao, he hasn't returned to his usual self,

Jake Paul posted on twitter that he just got an opponent for October and he’ll be announcing it this week.

https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1563650857803173889

I’m really hoping it’s Andrew Tate. That is the fight to make right now for the money and one that is actually be excited to watch and maybe even pay for. Fingers crossed it isn’t some no name boxer at the end of his career.

How I wish it will not be a retired MMA fighter or a retired boxer, somehow after you have said Andrew Tate I kinda like the sound of it Jake Paul kind of beating the crap out of the most toxic man to ever be alive that would be a great watch, knowing that an Andrew Tate could be pulverized by Jake Paul that would be awesome at some point,



On Sept. 4, and that will be this Sunday the match between Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Luis Ortiz will be in action, and for me, Andy Ruiz Jr. has the speed on his punches, despite his fat appearance, looks can be deceiving and pretty much stake odds for this fight was pretty much all for Andy Ruiz Jr, for bettors to win this fight and I totally agree about it,

Andrew Tate would be the very best opponent for him if they want much payperviews from the younger fans hehehe. However, from Jake's tweet it appears to be someone else, I reckon. Someone who might have fought one of the Paul brothers already and had the victory? I predict the next opponent might be KSI. KSI has fought and knocked out Luis Pineda recently. He is a Mexican professional boxer who has a record of 2 wins, 5 losses hheehehe.

@Baofeng. Can you suggest a list of the top 10 boxing events or fights for September that everyone should be watching.

It seems that we have a good fight last night, Commey vs Pedraza battling it out for a split draw. I was waiting for this fight but it seems that the fight started late as I expected so I didn't see it. And so I was surprised to see how the fight turns out. It seems to be the favorite Pedraza rallied in the last 4 rounds to force that verdict. Commey suffered a cut and they Pedraza take advantage of it to somewhat get out of the eventual lost. Scores where: Judge Henry Gueary scored for Pedraza, 97-93, David Sutherland scored it 96-94 Commey and Judge Gary Ritter scored it 95-95.

Oh well, we really will not know the real reasons for now, maybe they just said to the organizations that AB has mental issues and can't be bothered and so he wanted to cancel the fight, so it is what it is. This could be the new norm of excuses if fighters just wake up and doesn't what to fight anymore. For sure Broner will get a lot of judgement on this one.

Nah, I think he got exposed by Marcos Maidana, after his first defeat in boxing, he seemed to have lost his ability to win, he is more talk than action in the ring, even in the fight with Pacman, he disrespected the champ, and though he won the fight although it was obvious that was hit more than he hits Pacman.

I agree, I was about to say that, it was really Marcos Maidana who took the soul of Broner, Lol, after his defeat he is no longer the same, and become the laughing stock of the internet. But he can't accept it so he continue to fight and even if he is beaten by Manny, he thinks he still won. I'm on the fence as well with he call the fight off with Omar Figueroa citing mental issues. But I have a feeling that Broner will still continue to fight just to have the money because he as a lot brushed with the law and then he will have to continue his child support.

Is this the fight where Broner became a laughing stock on social media? His inability to accept losses truly shines.  

I just hope that he have learned the lesson that being overconfident is also dangerous. But yes, despite that he's aware of who can he beat and win.

It's better for him to have that emotion set at the normal setting so that it won't overwhelm him when he's on another match whether it will be from a lower division fighter or of the same.

Who? Donaire? I don't really think that he have that kind of attitude where goes being overconfident to his foe because of his capabilities, we know Donaire's attitude towards Inoue though but none of it shouts that he's overconfident.

Even us didn't really expected that Inoue will evolve that much because we think that they will still have a long 12-round fight where there will be a long blow-by-blow punches all the way to the 12th round. But Inoue finished Donaire in just 2 rounds with a stoppage.
On his match with Inoue, he said that he's going to beat Inoue and that's what I think that he became overconfident on that time. That's just my opinion and if you think guys that it's not a sign that he's overconfident with those words, that's okay.

It is what I've thought of him.

But I want the best for him if he ever will have another match again. We all love to see him back and healthy again with a win.

Well, I think Donaire can beat Inoue if he is still in his prime, but sadly his body can't catch up with his words since he already lost a lot of speed due to aging in their fight.  But as far as I know, Donaire has never been overconfident in his fight, to the point that he is slacking in training.  Having a self confidence is helpful in a boxer since he can think clearly and won't be intimidated by the opponent.
