I couldn't give Canelo more than 3 rounds.
Rip kille him round 8Jai Opetaia KO 1-6 1,200 to win 682
Anyway Joshua doesn't finish Jake Paul in this?
I agree that this is definitely an "AJ can end this any minute he wants to" type of fight. Which is why I ask myself "how are they gonna cook this?"There are ways he can prolong the fight (not throwing punches, excessive clinching) but once he tries to box with AJ he is going to get knocked out shortly thereafter. He doesn't have the skills to compete on a technical level, the athleticism to compete on a physical level, nor the power to keep AJ from pressuring and breaking him down if it comes to that.
JP is a jab merchant with hands that are not fast enough for elite boxing, even HW, so after a few attempts I expect AJ will land a counter right hand that puts him out. I think it will be sometime in the second minute but it could be the first as its an enormous mismatch on both a technical and physical level.
Conservatively the fight goes less than 10% of the time imo.

My theory is that the Over is set to 2.5rds, so AJ will carry him past that point and end it whenever he wants after that. He might even dick around and take it to a decision.
Regardless, I'm betting the Over and hoping I'm correct but I wouldn't be surprised if AJ just starches him the same way he did Francis.
