The problem is you don't know what kind of injuries you might get from that bout. I wouldn't take it because I'd worry I'd get so pummeled that I'd come out with brain damage or a subdural hematoma or worse.

That is the risk of boxing.

Every year thousands of boxing fights take place where lads take that risk. Almost all of them would be getting paid far less than Jake Paul earned last night.

I'd take the risk for 75 million. I'd even do it for 10 million.

I cannot be really sure as from the middle of 02 to 15 my deployment schedule was pretty rough and life was going by pretty quick. I didn't have a chance to follow pop culture and social things too much. When I returned from deployments my schedule was usually 6-12 months at home and while in CONUS, leave for training about 3 of those.

The chin looks what I remember, he had his hair is some ball kinda thing and every word was surfer.

The thing I do remember like yesterday, is landing back on the east coast and getting home and having to look my wife and sweet angel boys and tell them I got facefucked by a midget. Humiliating, but humbling.

I'm sorry, I can't truly remember the faces enough. There were quite a few folks that came through that trained for movies, fights, etc on base through the GWOT period.

Dude Urijah Faber was awesome!!! I watched the fight where where he broke his hand in the 3rd and was still trying to use it to put, Brown I think, in choke holds and just couldn't keep the hold on. Dude was kick ass.

This kind of ball thing?

Putting panic on his face and making him pay for facial reconstruction out of his share of the purse. Props to AJ.

Hopefully this is the end of this Influencer/MMA shit infesting boxing.

He did have that style hair and chin, but I can't lie and say it was him and I remember a 100 percent. If he is very short, then there is a possibility.

Whoever it was, made me walk away like Linus holding a blanket and sucking my thumb, though.

Just looked, he is 5'6"

It probably wasn't him since that would be wild, Urijah Faber was a top 5 MMA fighter during his hayday in the early 2000. He founded Team Alpha Male which was a big gym back then with a lot of successful fighters.

He is small, he was a bantamweight. He was NCAA wrestler with a wicked ground game. He was all about the surfer lifestyle too, The California Kid he was called.

I haven't been keeping up with this Paul brother's fighting saga, but seeing that picture of him getting rocked in the face harder than perhaps anyone has ever been punched in public before, all over the internet, has to suck for him. Hah.
 
People are saying that Paul made millions, but he already enough money to retire - he now just looks like a wally on the internet and his jaw may be fucked for life.

The first four rounds were very suspicious too - all that bullshit AJ came out with about wanting to take his time and take his soul was obviously cooked up. He was contracted to fight from round 5 I reckon. Even then I think he pulled his punches - Paul's hands were down throughout.

Incidentally - people are clipping the wrong bit - the best bit is when Paul is on the ground after the knock out punch and this look of shear panic comes over him as the pain from his jaw injury registers. Looked like Rick Flair doing a 'woooo'!

Nah, there'd be no "contract" or evidence of agreement as that would be fight fixing and while AJ is nearer the end of his career than the start he's still got a few very good pay days left. The risk wouldn't be worth it to him, especially as he was a shoe-in to win anyway.

He just took his time, let Jake gas himself out with his wrestling attempts, and then just uncorked when the opportunity presented itself.

The damage done should be another letter from biological reality to the fantasists that size and strength matter in combat sports, and that a cruiserweight fighting at heavy is going to get crushed as soon as blows start being exchanged.
 
I think the damage to the sport talk is overblown. From my vantage point a lot of people watched a fight with a happy ending that reminded people just how real boxing is against upper level guys. Broken jaw is no joke lol

Andrew Tate isn't so tough when his opponent isn't a terrified 14 year old girl he's about to roofie, is he.

Yeah, it's nice to see him getting schooled in the ring by a consenting adult who can actually throw hands

All that alpha talk evaporates the second there's no power imbalance involved

He's held a lot of championships and a has lot of wins in kickboxing under his belt, but that was over a decade ago. Hard to come back into that over 10 years later.

Andrew Tate was a successful kickboxer, becoming a four-time world champion, holding titles like the ISKA World Full Contact Light Heavyweight Champion and the Enfusion Live World Champion, winning major belts from 2009 to 2014, and even clinching a powerboat racing championship in 2018

What's your point? I mean, you gotta agree it's nice seeing the guy take a punch

That's basically our whole argument

Sure, just the way you both made it sound, is like he's never fought anything of not before, is all.

Nothing like Paul in comparison as far as professional fighting accomplishments.

No one's saying he was a complete novice or that his past accomplishments were fake.

I said ' Yeah, it's nice to see him getting schooled in the ring by a consenting adult who can actually throw hands'

As in: the women hes been accused of abusing, choking, slapping, and controlling weren't exactly in a position to fight back on equal terms

Now that he was on equal footing, he got knocked out by a reality star.

Or maybe my English isn't advanced enough. That's possible too.

Ah okay, I haven't kept up on Tate's accusation drama. I was likening it to how Paul never accomplished anything of note professionally and just talks shit, where at the very least, Tate had in comparison.
 
I don't mind the Paul brothers. I'm too old to have watched any of their breakout content, but I like Logan in WWE as he is a good performer, and I respect their entrepreneurial spirit.

However these exhibition matches with YouTubers going up against pros and former pros just make a mockery of the sport and the customers who pay to watch. I'm glad everyone involved is making bank but it's a stone cold fact that Mike Tyson, even at 59, could knock some one like Paul out in one single punch if he wanted to. That's no slight on Paul, who's still an athlete.

Seems like Joshua, because he's a bell end, took the bag but didn't want to strictly adhere to the rules.
 
Despite Aj taking it easy on him, Paul did the best he could (for him being a regular person), a lot of people would be too scared to even make it to the ring.

Getting in the ring is still risking your life and your long term quality of life.
