With the experience he have in the industry and the talent he possess, I can say that Donaire will be deadly in the lower division but the catch is that we must accept that he isn't the Filipino Flash that we used to know anymore as he's already aging but the power is still there, I don't doubt it. But yes, you are right these are just mere speculations and we should watch him first before saying that he should already retire.

If he still wants to get into fights and wants to dominate then he'll do the stepping down. But if not, he'll do whatever he takes before he retires.

Aging really matters in terms of an athletic career, especially in this type of sport that needs physical contact.

But, as of now, we don't hear a lot from him and we still need to wait for the announcement on what his next step.

It is very difficult to determine how Donaire's behavior will be for now, many are saying that he is already very old and that he cannot do things like before, that he is not at the level of a young boxer, but I think that this should not be trusted , I think it is time to also have to fear or be careful of all the experience he has, in my personal opinion, if I had to fight someone like that, I would be much more careful, because this type of boxer knows his abilities very well and They know when they can give everything, just as they know how to measure the capabilities of a boxer who is an opponent.

Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

looking at the two fighters I strongly believe that anderson silva will be victorious in this fight, that's because anderson silva had some boxing matches against strong opponents and he had a good performance, not to mention that the guy is an experienced MMA fighter, of course in boxing he can still be an amateur, but the fact that he fought in mma gives him some advantage over being more aggressive, being a person with good reflexes and knowing several fights, on the other hand we have Jake Paul who, despite being a young with some fights and victories against fighters who are also strong he is still young and doesn't have the fighting experience that anderson silva has. That's why for me anderson silva wins this fight, Jake Paul will definitely come out of this fight sad

I think Jake Paul has experienced fighting people in MMA and this is not the first time he is fighting one. According to the record, he had a match against a former MMA fighter and won a 1st round TKO, and a former UFC champion twice winning with a split decision. But thinking that the two previous opponent styles are wrestling, Jake Paul might probably have trouble facing Silva since Silva's fighting style includes boxing. But one thing is hindering Silva in this fight, and that is his age. Fighting at 47 would take a toll for sure. If I disregard the age factor, I would agree with you.

Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, either of the brothers have boxing experience so they can really fight those UFC fighters and win. But as you have said, Silva is well rounded, including a stand up boxing style.

But the age though, maybe once Paul touches that chin of Silva, he will go down. He is not known to have a good chin, maybe he can protect it. However, one punch can change the complexion of the fight.

This is very true, for me Paul has a great punch, and although it seems somewhat crude to give him a good fist on the chin it is in the rules that can do it, I really believe that Silva has everything to win, without detracting from Paul , because Silve has more experience, he knows how to fight him and the best of all is that he can handle the times in his favor, that is something that only those with more experience have.

And I am much more inclined towards Silva since a fighter who has a style focused on boxing is much more efficient wherever you look at him, even in his training he is usually much stronger, a boxer will always excel in any martial art due to the fact of being a sport where all the time you are receiving blows to the face.
