Paddy Pimblett believes Silva took a dive

[chimpoehurricane]

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?

Maybe but I doubt it. A young kid will beat a former great Pending attributes and skills. Jake isn't a world beater but he will beat up YouTubers and former stars. He would pu ch out Fedor or or other older former greats but he won't beat a Canelo or world beater like a Ryan Garcia. There's levels to the game. While Fedor would wreck Paul in mma, in boxing, he would piece him up, and stop him.i suspect there's a lot of horse meat and pecograms in these celebrity boxing too.

Is it possible? Yes. Doubts though. Silva is nearly fifty and it's been a decade since he looked great. Silva could be a world champion boxer in multiple divisions if he went into boxing. He was that great. Jake is beating a older fragile fossil version of Silva and likely on horse meat.

I would like Andrew Tate to plank him BUT Tate is running around in cars, gone McGregor mode influencer, and that's not great for boxing. I see a Tate KO or bogus robbery decision unless Tate ktfo. Even then, its a disgrace to the sweet science to not take it incredibly serious.

Paul is training his balls off.no fan but I respect the hustle.

Don't think he took a dive

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

Not like before anyway and Paul planked Woodley. Nobody does that. Humiliation to the max. Fitting end after the race baiting and victim Olympics.

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 am afraid to say it but I think Tate vs Paul is closer and it's a young man's game. It's a disrespect to their art. Retiree should remain that.

 

[Yep]

Not sure this fight even happens. Bad eyes Tate going to probably get knocked out

Yeah pushing 40 and living like McGregor as a influencer. Not fighter. Recipes for disaster. It's a horrible idea.

If he wins, he's expected too. If he loses he wrecked his brand. If he gets ktfo he will be a bigger meme than McGregor Bernie.

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

I mean he doesn’t keep his hands up because he’s afraid of hitting his own eyes. I don’t think this fight happens.

Me either. When younger he was awkward af and elusive. He's older and plotts too much now. Less elusive. You dint get faster with age.

This is destroying my brain... what's left of it...

I had Silva winning that fight actually, shitty as it may have been.

 

[seanb1979]

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

he also clearly took 2 rounds off and lost by that amount

I hope Gordan knocks this fool out, or chokes him, since he has been training with khabib.

 

[Raptors2019]

I was under the impression Paddy is a smart kid. He might have said one or two correct things but alot were just retarded based off pseudo internet themes.

Also that was the last round and Silva was pretty gassed already and his nose was already broke in the earlier rounds. He just got sat down, it was a crazy knock down. He got stuck and you see how his leg froze right when he got hit it isn't fake. He tried to stay up but his legs froze and he dropped down. Silva went into the punch a bit because he was throwing at the same time and the punch that actually rocked him was the first hard jab. It was a quick 1-2 and that's why he got sat down. 2 quick shots will drop you and that's what usually causes knockouts anyways.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

Agreed. Not sure what Paddy is trying to imply.

There was another angle they were spreading after the fight that wasn't very clear and you can't really see the punch. It happens a lot in boxing that's why it's great there are multiple angles. Sometimes the punches are so fast it doesn't even look like a punch connected until you see another angle in slow motion of a clean hit.

It ain't a joke lol the guy came from Disney Channel, no one in their wildest imagination could have ever imagined him going from the Disney Channel to KOing/dropping people like Woodley/Silva in a boxing match at ANY moment in time

Over the last year alone we have seen boxers much more experienced than Jake (Chavez Jr, Sonny Bill Williams, Hasim Rahman Jr) LOSE to ex UFC fighters (Anderson Silva, Mark Hunt, Greg Hardy) in the boxing ring

I must admit, Hunt did shock me in the Sonny Bill fight but I don't believe Sonny fought smart. Should have avoided the pocket and wild exchanges, been on his bicycle with the jab til late in the fight.

Me too!!!
