Paddy Pimblett believes Silva took a dive

[Pancake Sprawl]

Because Jake Paul has something you can only be born with rather than trained, raw, natural KO power, what he done to Woodley wasn't normal, same with dropping Askren like that in round 1 when we all know how durable the Askren chin was, dropping Silva too who is bigger than Jake was another feat, there are boxers who have been in the sport for 20+ years who wouldn't have been able to do that because as I said, power is something more natural that you're born with rather than trained, Jake has it, many don't

Chavez Jr has never been known as a power puncher and is considerably smaller than Silva, his punches barely fazed Silva which allowed Silva to unleash everything on him without fear of being badly hurt. With Jake however, he broke Silvas nose in the early rounds, Silva respected Jakes power almost immediately, meaning he couldn't fight Jake the same way he fought Chavez Jr, he had to be more careful and selective in his punches to avoid getting punished on the counter too often by that power

This was proven by the fact Silva threw 395 punches at Chavez Jr compared to the 250 punches he threw at Jake, a 150 punch reduction because he had to fight Jake a lot more carefully in his punch selection

He fought a more careful fight rounds 1-7 which allowed him to avoid getting dropped, however then in round 8, when Silva knew he had to go all out to win after being down on the cards, he got reckless and dropped, Silva knew if he continued to go all out throughout the rest of round 8 he would have got finished like Woodley, so after the knockdown he accepted it was all but over and seen his way to the finish without giving Jake another meme KO

Nothing about it was fixed, too many in denial about Jake

Also spare the YouTuber talk, the dude has now been boxing training for nearly 5 years under the best possible boxing conditions money can buy, he's been training boxing for 5 years but his growth is at the level of someone who's been boxing for 10 years due to his quality of training, add in the fact he's clearly got a lot of natural power, what he's doing isn't so unbelievable

wow, so all it takes is to be big and train for 5 yrs to be better than a world champion. gotcha.

 

[wwkirk]

I like Paddy, but he needs to rewatch that fight.

 

[TorontoTO]

I actually think all of Paddy's bouts are fixed.

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Fixed.

Dives don't mean no contact. They mean you let the dude hit you.

 

[Zanmato]

Anderson has plenty of money and had plenty of other opportunities. I really don't believe he is the type of guy who would take a dive for a 1 time pay off to big up some youngster who has nothing to do with him. Paddy should shut up and go back to his kebab

 

[FreedomCricket]

I think the bigger news from this exchange is that paddy accepted Paul's offer to spar for $1mil. On Monday after his fight this weekend.

 

[OodlesofNoodle]

Mark Hunt vs. Jake Paul when?

 

[The Bloody Nine]

A dumb scouser. Shocking.

Not an outright dive, but I do think Silva was contractually obligated to carry the fight till the later rounds.

Then, when Silva tried to go Spider mode, he found that he was not as quick as he used to be, and that Jake came in with enough cardio to still throw and land.

Impossible for a contract with that kind of stipulation to be used in a professionally sanctioned bout, because that stipulation would be illegal, it's agreeing to fix a pro fight, so if for example Silva chose to ignore the contract on the night of the fight because his self pride kicked in and he decided to beat Jake, what exactly could Jake or his team do about it? How would that contract be of use? It's not like they could go to the court with that contract as a justification for why Silva didst deserve to get paid because the contract was illegal to begin with, it wouldn't hold up in court and Jake would only be exposing himself. So the whole rigged contract stuff is literally impossible for the reasons I gave

Is that really what you got from all that I wrote?

Jake hits much, much, much, much harder than Chavez Jr, much harder, Jake broke Silvas nose early in the fight, Jakes natural power is what allowed him to defeat Silva, it kept Silva at bay and allowed Jake to work, Chavez Jr barely left a mark on Silva, as I said Jake is blessed with a lot of raw, natural power and when you add that to the fact he's been training boxing full time for the last 5 years under the best possible boxing conditions that money can buy from coaches, facilities, sparring partners, nutrition, equipment, recovery etc etc it speeds up the development process much more, so even though Jake has been boxing training for 5 years, his development is more of a boxer who's been training for 10-15 years due to the quality of Jakes training.

Fixed.

Dives don't mean no contact. They mean you let the dude hit you.

How many boxing matches can you name where both opponents didn't land punches on each other at some point? Is this really where we are now? I guess 99.9% of boxing matches are fixed then if that's your argument

There is no way Silva who already had made around $20M from his career before facing Jake is going to involve himself in criminal activity by deliberately agreeing to lose and therefore fixing the fight which if found guilty of would have him facing prison for a very long time and missing out on the life of watching his grandkids grow up, nothing is worth that risk, especially when you're already rich enough.

On top of the fact Silva landed only four less punches than Jake throughout the entire fight, if you're going to deliberately fix a fight to make sure a certain opponent wins, you don't make it that close and then leave it up to the judges

I think the bigger news from this exchange is that paddy accepted Paul's offer to spar for $1mil. On Monday after his fight this weekend.

Paddy has to win the spar to get the $1M

I'm actually blind so I have a program that scans webpages and sends it to my auto-braille machine.

When I read your comments it also gives me a rough estimation of what you look like and right now it's saying that you're fat and gay.

The response of an imbecile, I expected nothing less

You must be dumb af to think contracts with illegal stipulations can be made for pro bouts in order to fix a fight, contracts like that wouldn't work because they couldn't be used in a court of law you fool

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

it baffles me that you don't find it strange that Anderson beat AN ACTUAL FORMER WORLD CHAMPION who is younger than him, but loses to a guy training for 5 years.

Maybe Julio threw the fight against Silva...

 

[horseshoe_pass man]

it's interesting how the people in the mma community saying anderson took a dive dont realise how disrespectful that is to a legend like anderson lol. it's a pretty bad accusation to make

 

[HaulParris]

Silva is almost 50

Honestly, I view all these Jake Paul fights as exhibitions.

Glorified sparring, with a pro wrestling finish.

It's all orchestrated by the UFC, too.

Notice how a big name gets cut every time Paul needs a new opponent? Yeah, they're all washed, yeah, they aren't even boxers, but the only way this farce gains any credibility with me is when Paul beats a boxer and proves he can actually... you know... box.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

So much cope

Exactly THIS ^

 

[Ange Postecoglou is a Tim]

Silva is almost 50

George Foreman won a belt at 48, if you're still in fighting shape then age is largely irrelevant and Silva was clearly still in fighting shape against Jake

Silva is better than a lot of boxers out there, he absolutely pieced up Chavez Jr last year and no matter what you think of the current version of Chavez Jr, he's still a much better level of competition compared to what most upcoming boxers are facing at the start of their careers, if Jake didn't prove he can box to you in that fight against Silva when you consider Chavez Jr who is a much more experienced boxer than Jake couldn't defeat Silva then you'll never be satisfied

I'd be satisfied if he boxed Chavez Jr.

 

[Mcnugget]

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.

You guys think he beats Nate ?

 

[Ange Postecoglou is a Tim]

I'd be satisfied if he boxed Chavez Jr.

How does that make sense when Jake just beat the same opponent who absolutely destroyed Chavez Jr last year?

In the current day, Silva is a better boxer than Chavez Jr
