Fight Preview
Jake Paul and Anderson Silva are set to collide on Showtime pay-per-view on Saturday night. “The Problem Child” has risen to the top of boxing, not through the ring, but through his trash-talk and unorthodox career outside the ring. His knockouts of Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren have been praised, but now seems to be the time for a real challenge.
The challenge comes in the form of “The Spider”. The former UFC middleweight champion might be 47 years old but is still one of the greatest strikers in combat sports. The Brazilian is currently viewed as the YouTuber’s biggest test to date. But is it a test that he will pass? Let’s break down the biggest boxing match of the weekend.
“The Problem Child” has been out of action since his knockout win over Tyron Woodley last December. The finish earned him “Knockout of the Year” honors from several publications, but little did he know there were problems on the horizon.
Paul’s lengthy layoff came as a result of canceled matchups of Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. While he hasn’t gotten to show anything in a year, he’s also got a chance to improve in the gym day in and day out, alongside his coach BJ Flores.
Jake might be able to defeat Silva on Saturday, but it won’t be easy. Unless he’s dramatically improved in the last 12 months, the Brazilian will likely tune him up. “The Problem Child” is not a top-tier boxer. However, he’s been able to defeat opponents such as Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, mainly due to his overwhelming power and size differences.
While Paul normally competes at 190 pounds, the aforementioned MMA fighters compete all the way down at 170. It’ll definitely be entertaining to watch Paul try to defeat a powerhouse such as Silva, but it’s to be seen if “The Spider’s” age will be a point in favor of the famous YouTuber.
