Boxing 🥊

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Will anyone stay up tomorrow to watch the Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua fight?

Can't say I'm massively in to boxing (I refuse to pay to watch box office stuff in particular), but I hate to admit that I'm intrigued by this fight.

Joshua should, presumably, win comfortably by knock out. If he doesn't it's either one of the biggest shocks in sporting history or (much more likely) embarrassingly scripted.

I don't know much about Jake Paul other than the fact that he looks like a fucking bell end. Hopefully he'll get walloped by the first punch.

no

I'm not a fan of boxing. I am a fan of watching internet nobs get knocked the fuck out, so I will watch.

Yeah, but you have to verify your age for that these days.

This is all part of a marketing thing for Netflix, or that is part of the gig… so will go in a couple of rounds at least.

Joshua could just push him away. Haven’t seen the numbers for reach but must be one of biggest gap ever. 
Cricket might keep me up, not this farce

Might put it on in a rubbernecking sort of way depending on how the cricket is going.

If AJ does't win against this bloke then its a fix.

Lol. Jokes on you, England will have already lost the cricket by the time this is on.

Anyone not in to boxing who stays up to watch this fight is a moron.

That’s the thing, if and a huge if still going will be worth staying up for

I’d disagree with that. This is all about people not normally into boxing.

Anyone serious about boxing who stays up to watch this fight is a moron.

Agree

this is the Jake Paul and Netflix show. Joshua will earn a huge wedge, and try not to embarrass himself

Yep. It's an embarrassment to boxing. Ditto the press conferences. AJ should blow him away within a round or two, but I have a feeling he won't.

AJ is probably being paid so much money he will “drag it out” a bit.

listening to the radio today, Netflix acquired 2 million new customers on the back it the Jake Paul v Tyson fight. The average life spend of a Netflix customer is about $900.

Printing money for them.

AJ is ultimately the junior partner in this setup

I agree. It’s a farce. It’s tragic boxing has come to this, used to be a great sport

Let’s remember Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury who is more famous for being on love island than supposedly being a boxer. It’s all a bit sham. It’s the equivalent of hashtag United suddenly becoming a world class football team and holding their own against Real Madrid and Man City in staged friendlies and everyone saying how amazing they are. Most people would see it for what it is, but sadly all these kids lap it up because it’s a YouTuber

They would also be morons. I will check the highlights the next day the same way someone might watch wwe.

[benjii]

This is what will happen if they actually fight.

More likely Paul runs around the ring for a few rounds then goes down after a body shot or something.
