Paddy Pimblett believes Silva took a dive

The ironic thing is I think Paul is exploiting the UFC's own hype system against them, for years they've constantly sold declining big names as still being at their peak in order to hype the newer fighters who beat them to the degree much of the fanbase buy into "nobody declines".

I thought he took a dive on the knockdown...fight was close/competitive at that point. Throw a 10-8 in there, and the worst thing that happens is a draw.

Lmao Silva was easily losing that fight before the knockdown, it made no difference to the outcome in the slightest.

Paul Calderon had it 4-3 Paul heading into the 8th (source: ). Silva outlanded Paul in the 2nd, 5th, and 6th and they landed the same number in round 4. Silva landed three less total punches in the whole fight, with much greater accuracy, and 15 more power punches (source: https://www.boxingscene.com/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-compubox-punch-stats--170093 ). Going into the 8th round, Silva had landed more total punches.

It wasn't nearly as lopsided from a judging perspective as you're trying to make it sound. If we simply used punches landed per round to determine the round winner, it would be 3-3 with one round tied going into the 8th. How none of the judges scored round 6 for Silva is beyond me, as he landed more punches, twice the number of power punches, and was more accurate. If round six had been scored for Silva, he'd have been tied on two scorecards and ahead on one.

But please, using any sort of measurable or objective facts, tell me how he was "easily" losing the fight before the knockdwn.
 
Wasn’t a dive. He’s just nearing 50. Andersons hands were ultra slow. His head and foot movements looked ok, but his hands were noticeably slow making him just unable to connect clean upstairs against the younger opponent

One Judge scored the fight 77 - 74 to Jake and the other two judges scored the fight 78 - 73 to Jake, proving like I said that the knockdown didn't change shit. If you watched that fight and fought Silva had a chance of winning a decision going into the 8th round then you don't know shit about boxing.
 
He took a dive… after getting clocked.

These UFC guys can’t even beat YouTubers in a boxing match. Just accept it and move on.
 
If it was a dive to help Paul win the fight, why did he get back up? Some of you are deranged.

Which is confusing considering Jakes last opponent absolutely demolished Chavez Jr last year, Silva threw 395 punches compared to the 150 Chavez Jr threw, it was a white wash and not even close, therefore Jake beating someone Chavez Jr couldn't should give you at least some level of respect for Jakes accomplishment

Considering much, much, much more experienced boxers than Jake such as Chavez Jr, Sonny Bill Williams and Hasim Rahman Jr have lost to ex UFC fighters Anderson Silva, Mark Hunt and Greg Hardy the boxing ring over the last year should tell you that what Jake has been doing to guys like Woodley and Silva isn't as easy a feat as you're trying to suggest it is by completing discrediting it.

A very well thought out and constructed post however you lost all credibility the moment you accused someone with the standing Silva has of taking a deliberate dive to deliberately lose a fight.

The truth is that Silva knew the fight was extremely close going into the final round so therefore went all out to win as that's his mentality, in the process of going all out to win he he also raised his own level of danger with the probability of getting caught much higher, which is what happened whilst he was off balance and put him down, there's no conspiracy in that

Someone like Silva who already had an estimated net worth of $20M before fighting Jake isn't going to risk serious jail time if ever found guilty of fight fixing which would deprive himself of a life watching his grandchildren grow up just for the sake of a few extra million dollars when he already got more than enough money for the lifestyle he's accustomed to anyway.

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?
