Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua

[cocopop3011]

Well, the news is out! Jake Paul will fight Anthony Joshua on the 19th December!

What's your thoughts? Surely Jake is the massive underdog here and Joshua has to win this! Maybe even KO?

Anthony is going to win this before the 3rd round but I have a feeling that Jake might chicken out.

I think there is no option but Anthony's winning

I don’t think Jake will chicken out - these YouTubers are in it for the money!

Everybody expects it. So it's not just about him:)

These sorts of exhibition fights always seem fixed to me, especially the Logan Paul ones

If Joshua doesn’t win it’s a fix

Joshua is 36 and Paul is 28. Joshua has lost some weight to meet the fight requirements so he may not be his usual best against Jake. We need to keep in mind that Jake has been training very hard on his technique from the past few years. I am not saying that Jake is going to win by a great margin but the fight is looking close. 

When Jake fought Tommy Fury it was close and Tommy won by split decision. No harm in betting in favour of Jake.

So Anthony won by knockout in the sixth round. It wasn't an entertaining fight as Jake was holding Anthonys legs most of the time but yeah he took it to the sixth round.

With exhibition matches you do always wonder what was arranged/agreed beforehand, the fight was a sad site but Jake Paul has always avoided real competitors until now.

I didn’t watch the fight but I’ve seen highlights - not surprised either the hugging, noticed Jake does that a lot in his fights.
