That is probably one of the reasons why they are so confident about taking a fight against UFC fighters, they already have some idea of how to deal with these fighters because of that experience they acquired. Anyway let's go back to the fight, Anderson Silva can protect his chin well and other weaknesses but that's in the old times when is still fast to react and quite agile to counter the movements. But now? He will be an open book to Jake Paul, no doubt.
Besides, MMA uses lighter gloves so the impact is far more devastating, now I wonder if Silva can still launch those kinds of punches that can floor his opponent with heavier gloves.
I know this is all promotions and business for Jake Paul but I wonder when will be the time for him to grow balls and challenge a professional boxing legend instead
.That's just one of many difference that MMA and boxing have, Silva is already considered as one of the legends in his time in MMA while Jake Paul is just trying to make his name in the boxing that's why having an exhibition fights like these means a lot to Jake Paul as this is his own way to make his name even if it really doesn't make sense at all. I totally agree in what you said, he should just try and fight pure pro boxers because that's a better way to create a noise for his name.
