The fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is well and truly on now for December 19th in Florida on Netflix and Jake Paul is an underdog to say the least.
Most people don’t give him a hope in hell of winning against Anthony Joshua, a former heavyweight and Olympic champion.
Paul was due to fight Gervonta Davis in a type of catch weight exhibition hybrid pro fight recently.
He’s literally gone from that to all of a sudden stepping in there in a legit professional heavyweight fight with Anthony Joshua.
Very unexpected and a big difference to what he was preparing for.
Anthony Joshua has been in training for a while as well ahead of his comeback from been knocked out by Daniel Dubois, so he will be prepared for a proper heavyweight professional fight and will train accordingly.
Jake Paul’s best chance has to be his speed and mobility and being the smaller fighter using fast feet to employ raiding and sniping tactics to hit and not get hit and get out of range from Joshua landing.
Jake Paul’s Best Chance Against Anthony Joshua
Paul has shown himself more as a boxer type than a brawler in his developing professional boxing fight style.
This needs to be used with caution and he needs to get inside of that Anthony Joshua reach by using footwork, feints and angles against a man who is coming off surgery as well and a man who will have a lot of ring rust.
Jake Paul thinks Joshua’s chin and punch resistance is gone. Some people you could hit all day long and they still wouldn’t fall down and could rope a dope you all day long, not the case with Joshua in recent times.
He got blasted out of there by Daniel Dubois in recent years and is coming off a big layoff now, and surgery too, this is his first fight back.
Paul must try to take advantage of this.
Ring rust is real.
