I'm worried for our boy Mike Perry...

[AstralPanda]

Jake doesn’t have a mark on him and Perry is punching air. Lmao Perry forgot how to fight just like Diaz. this shit is so fake I turned it off. Can’t watch this garbage. Are boxing fans digging this?? Unwatchable. Atrocious trash. I can’t take it anymore you guys. Somebody make this stop. It’s so bad for both sports.

The

Cope of this man is incredible

He can't admit that Jake paul is a better boxer than MIKE PERRY

That's universal levels of cope

 

[Gladiator24]

Mma fighters don’t know how to box. Jake would KO Alex in a boxing fight too. It’s a totally different world, as a guy who has done both, I know.

I'm over it. It's all good. Glad somebody enjoyed it. I can't stomach watching boxing at such a low skill level. We all have our limits. I think I'm gonna steer clear of these Fake Paul boxing threads in the future. Reading the comments gives me brain damage. Too many marks and I'm not here to change minds.

I dunno, Alex is a world class kickboxer who transitioned to MMA, his hands are better than most in MMA without question.

I never gave the likes of Diaz, Perry etc much chance but Alex is not only far more proficient in his boxing but he is way bigger than Jake as well.

If the fight happened right now, I would take Poatan.

Bruh..

 

[whocares]

Boxing is just miles ahead

Even a good amateur is gonna smoke like 99% of mma fighters in straight up boxing.


Apples and oranges

That doesn't quite excuse them from looking THIS bad though. They look like the guy who walks in off the streets to a gym and challenges fighters, or a guy who's never thrown a baseball before trying to throw a baseball. Obviously there are many levels to boxing but i'd expect to see at least a basic competency from guys who live and train fighting professionally, especially if they sign a contract and train for a boxing match. Do they think they're just going to magically beat this guy? Or maybe Jake's just that good at cherry picking opponents he knows have shit technical boxing or in Silvas case, old.

I didn't expect anything from Askren or much from Woodley but Nate and Perry looking like hot boiled ass was a little bit surprising. And I'm not downplaying Jake here, he's obviously got more experience and skill in the ring than the guys he's fighting. I just expect them to be able to box a little better than you'd see in a bar brawl. I mean there are just regular dudes out there who have good boxing skills. The average Sherdogger for instance would drop Jake Paul 3 times in 10 seconds. Maybe these guys signing up to fight Paul need to log some posts here.

Platinum learned a hard lesson, getting Paul's money probably wasn't worth it in the long run.

I believe the cognitive dissonance is simply too strong for many to give credit where its due.

It's much easier to simply cherry pick reality, as opposed to acknowledging objective truth and admit that we were wrong.


This is where most fans are. And they horde together like a hive mind, feeding off each other.

This is where the endless goalpost shifting comes from. Countless examples of this, not just Jake paul or boxing but all sports. To go even deeper, all fields in general.

It's much easier to simply double down, than admit fault and issues with thinking. Because the latter would feel like an attack on our overall foundation as humans, it would force a redefinition of many things that constitute who we are.

In the grand scheme, this is what a lot of this comes down to in many. Interesting but fragile psychological tapestries at play.

Once a person gets past all this, they begin to see the world as it is, on multiple levels and realize they've been living in lies.

Few do though

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Losing to Jake Paul changes the way people perceive you forever. Look at Woodley. He's the DUDE Wipes guy, not the former UFC WW champion. Can't call yourself the King of Violence and then go get knocked out by Jake Paul, lmao.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

If you actually think he'll fight Poatan you're the type of mark to buy DAZN ppvs lmao

Thanks for the psychoanalysis. That was a very detailed projection of your own denial. Jake Paul's skill level on display is simply too low and these experienced pro mma opponents magically forget how to fight each time. These are scripted. It's not complicated. Rewatch the Paul-Fury if you want to torture yourself. Jake can't take punches well. That's why these guys are paid to not hit him and stand there and take hits. It's just a payday dude. If you think you're watching a real scrap with world class boxing, you're a mark. Tonight was just another shit show as usual.

Mike Perry is still the King, but Jake is the Final Emperor.

Lol come on. He barely beat the corpse of anderson silva. Alex Pareira would sleep Jake Paul.

What you're seeing is the Jake Paul Effect.

In the same way that Michael Jordan made people look foolish back in the 80's and 90's. Same way Stephen Hawking made people look dumb in comparison. Jake is just the new face of great.

Sort of like the Midas Touch but everything Jake touches turns to dog shit.

I don't expect world class boxing from someone whos been training for 6 years.

Because thankfully, I was blessed with reason.

Boxing isn't just about watching only the absolute best in the sport.

Every level of the journey is intriguing to witness. Every step another piece of potential unlocked.

If someone has potential, then I will generally enjoy watching them fight and gauging the changes and trajectory over time.

Potential is a fascinating thing to witness, how it's handled for better or worse.

To only focus on those at the top of the mountain would be to ignore the spirit of boxing as a whole. Rising up from nothing.

Im simply an observer of that process.

My "psychoanalysis" is dead on.

Because there are thousands just like you who run from reality, instead of actually manning up and admitting you don't know shit.

You are so full of shit I hope you don't actually interact with people like this in person.

Perhaps. But I also see things clearly. Something you may never learn to do.

Thanks. I'll be just fine. Jake doesn't pass the eye test for me in any way. If you wanna fanboy than go ahead but you don't need to argue with me about it. I think he actually sucks shit at boxing and I don't give a fuck what you have to say to defend this fraud.

 

[xentreos]

Thing is with boxing, it's not something you can fake.

Only way you can get to that level of skill is by putting in years of work. Years of sparring.

Only people who think he's a fraud and doubt it's real, don't actually grasp what it takes.

That's why the people Hating on him, viewing him as fake and all this stuff tend to be fans who don't really understand boxing on a tangible, experiential level.

And you see fighters almost entirely giving him credit.

Because they know just how much work it takes to get there. It's not something you can weekend warrior for a little while and pretend about.

There's a spar of him and Hasim Rahman, this is from like 4 years ago, he was only a year into the sport. Hasim wasn't going 100%, but Jake showed a ton of talent and potential

If you're a boxing coach watching that, against a guy with 20 years of experience on you, you're pushing him into pursuing boxing full time, 100%, without a doubt.

A coach will have that eye, they'll see potential before anyone else does. Before even they do.

Not everyone has it though. It comes with some experience, a lot of data and a certain kind of mind.

But, yeah, his skill is very much real. There's no question about that.

Like Rogan said, if he was anyone else and people weren't so fixated on his name and status as an influencer, he would get more respect and honesty.

People don't realize how snake charmed they are by polarizing figures though. It's hard for many to see past that bias. This also requires a certain type of mind to push past.

Well said dude.
