Since Jake Paul became a professional boxer, one of the most common questions that people have about him is if he’s good at the sport. Rarely do those who support or criticize him go into full detail about his training.
It’s easy to assess Paul’s level of opposition and questionable behavior from his brother, Logan, in the past. Simply write him off as someone who has no notable skills and is not a serious boxer.
On Saturday, Jake Paul will be fighting for the sixth time in his professional boxing career when he takes on Anderson Silva, a former champion in mixed martial arts. Anderson is one of the best strikers in the history of mixed martial arts. He is currently 3-1 as a boxer, and he holds a victory over former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
The fight between Paul and Silva is considered to be the biggest test of his boxing career. Anderson is a skilled boxer who made his opponent look foolish during their previous encounter in June 2021. If Jake Paul is truly a bad boxer, he will be thoroughly beaten by Silva.
Luke Thomas, a professional boxer from “Morning Kombat,” discussed Paul’s technique to analyze the positives and negatives of his career. Thomas identified various aspects of Paul’s game plan to create a scouting report for his upcoming opponent. One of his best attributes is his ability to move forward and set up combinations.
During his first professional boxing match against Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul showed significant weaknesses in his balance and feet. This issue led to him being forced to widen his base, which decreased his power.
Paul was also prone to looking down when he threw power shots. This issue became worse during his rematch with Tyron, as his eyes were locked on his opponent’s chin when he threw the fight-ending punch.
Anderson Silva’s camp has also noticed these issues, and they are preparing their fighter to capitalize on these weaknesses in Paul’s boxing skills. He is a skilled boxer who can take advantage of his opportunities by making his opponent look silly.
