To be honest, I find this fight unfair for Silva because he deserves a better opponent which is a real boxer. We all know that he's a promising boxer so it will be better for him to face someone who has the same stamina and same sports description. For me, Jake Paul's sports are quite different from Silva's so he should be facing an opponent that would fit his stamina as well.
I would agree that this is an unfair fight for Silva. He's clearly too old to be boxing and he was never a great boxer to begin with. Watching his boxing matches, he almost never defends himself and relies on throwing haymakers at unskilled opponents. This should be an easy win for Jake despite what people will try to bill this as. MMA, Silver wins easily. Boxing, I think he's a huge underdog. His skills are less polished than Jake's, he's old as hell, and he hasn't been training like Jake has. He's throwing his reputation to the wolves for a paycheck. I hope it's a big one for him.
While Silva can throw hands, this doesn't mean that he's a good boxer. I agree that the dude almost always forgets defending himself and leaves his face open for a punch. He has some hits on him but without a decent defense I wouldn't think he can outlast Jake which is a lot younger and is training consistently. Silva is an MMA beast, but on boxing he's just average at best. He's in this for the money obviously, as all the other fighters who squared with Jake before.
I see no real opponents in Tommy's boxing record list. But I see a lot of tough opponents among Anderson Silva list. However, we know that Silva is a knockout artist, but he is a muay thai or kickboxer on first place. Lots of his knockouts are made by knees and kicks, and ground and pound. Such skill wont help a lot in a boxing fight. I see this fight going to be very close. If Silva starts doing his taunts, then Jake would have a good advantage in this fight. 
paul is the underdog this time. seems that bookies are considering silva's record, though mostly in MMA. but yes, he knows boxing. if Paul will taste his first loss, don't know if he will still continue his exhibition matches? the edge of Paul here i believe is just his age.
