Paddy Pimblett believes Silva took a dive

[oldschoolmmafan]

And that Jake Paul's fights are fixed....

“Jake Paul is actually not that bad now, even though I think his fights are fixed,” Pimblett told pub talk.“I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed because when you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’re going (puts arms out). You can’t help it that’s a human reaction.

“But I seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day when he sat down, and he didn’t even hit him,” he concluded.

Did Silva take a dive, is Paddy simply aiming for a Jake Paul showdown at some stage. What are your thoughts on Paddy's comments?

 

[Edmond_Dantes]

not a dive, I think he just caught him. People need to realize that Anderson Silva is 47 and still fought a competitive fight

 

[Jose Beehive]

Looks pretty fuckin clear to me that he got punched from that footage.

 

[Mesos]

Silvas freakingg 47 lol. Thats why he lost, his reflexes, his pop were declined, and you see him fade in later rounds which is to be expected for a 47.

And now Jake Paul calls out another semi retired guy in Nate whos looked bad for a while now. Jakes Boxing career is a joke.

I can’t imagine being the promoter AND the headliner and not requiring certain stipulations of your opponent before you give him the biggest payday of his life.

Agreed. Not sure what Paddy is trying to imply.

 

[Johnnny]

Hannah Goldy was paid to take a dive against Molly The Can.

I can only assume he was watching the wrong fight.

 

[Yep]

Was he carb loading when he decided this? I’m gonna blame a blood sugar spike.

No way. That spinning elbow sealed her fate, not some money changing hands.

i don't care if Anderson was 50. he should've beat Jake Paul. how the fuck do you beat a former world champion and lose to a fucking youtuber?

Yeah, their was some fuckery going on. Maybe Anderson didn't want to look too weak but I do think even at his age he still took his foot off the pedal at times.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

So much cope

 

[Yep]

Ok, this is much different than what Paddy said. To suggest he got floored by a phantom punch is seriously deluded. Maybe, giving him the benefit of the doubt, however he saw it just showed the last punch and not what actually knocked Silva down. Whether or not Silva decided to hold back I’m not gonna debate. I have no idea if he did or didn’t, however to suggest he didn’t get punched is crazy talk.

Yes it is cause he did get punched.

 

[Egészségére!]

Don't know what "angle" he's talking about looks like he hit him right on the button

 

[7 others]

Don't think he took a dive

Silva is just washed up.. he can't take a punch anymore

 

[Yep]

Yes it is cause he did get punched.

You know what, it is the last punch. That’s crazy cuz I remember it completely differently. So I take back even giving him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Yep]

Don't know what "angle" he's talking about looks like he hit him right on the button

I believe it is this angle.

However,

 

[liljuey]

Dive or not.. Silva got paid!
