Size sometimes matters in professional boxing but not always. Let’s look at a few factors in tale of the tape.
Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is now confirmed for next month December 19th in Florida.
Ahead of the bout the two faced off yesterday and there was a big size difference in height.
Here’s a few facts to observe.
Size Gap That Could End Jake Paul’s Night Early
Joshua stands 6’6″ while Paul is 6’1″.
Joshua’s reach measures 82 inches to Paul’s 76 inches.
Joshua’s shoulder width visibly dwarfs Paul’s in face-off photos.
The height difference forces Paul to punch upward all night.
Joshua’s longer arms keep Paul at perfect knockout range.
Paul has never fought anyone taller than 6’3″.
Visual comparisons show Joshua’s head above the ring ropes next to Paul.
The size gap mirrors Joshua’s advantage over Wladimir Klitschko.
Paul’s team requested special camera angles to hide the difference.
One clean Joshua uppercut could travel through the height disparity perfectly.
That doesn’t say everything though.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog often times.
Very recently Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios, Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr and Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez all proved that.
Here’s some facts why Jake Paul has a chance vs Anthony Joshua.
