When people start these vs threads they should really make them polls. I’m curious who the community feels is going to win this one but don’t want to read through and tally everything myself. I think that youth is going to beat experience in this one, but I also don’t think Jake can knock him out so we’ll have to see if he can win when it comes down to a decision.

I feel the community will be divided. The thing is Jake has knock out power, but will he be able to use that knock out power now he has a bit of volume coming back at him. Plus, Anderson is a tricky fighter, he's not your traditional boxer, and he doesn't throw traditional punches. However, he does throw them quite a lot which I think is the difference between this opponent, and all previous opponents. We've yet to see Jake be put on the back foot, and I think at the very least Anderson will be able to do that at some point in the fight.

I'm currently swaying towards Jake though, which pains me to say as I loved Anderson in the MMA scene.

I'm split myself as I was with the Woodley fight. It's probably going to be Jake's toughest challenge yet, though I'd put it in the same category as Woodley. Woodley is nearly ten years younger than Silva so he has the age advantage, but Silva was a much better MMA fighter and is now doing fairly decently in boxing himself so there's pros and cons to bother fighters in terms of matchups. If I had to put money on it maybe it goes the distance and Jake on points. I kinda want Jake to win though just to see how far he can actually take this, and ultimately I really wanna see him fight someone like McGregor. The build up to that fight would be epic with all the trash-talking and I think Jake could give Connor a good game in that respect.

It's been said a thousand times style makes a fight, both fighters are good in both offense and defense and they are both capable, I won't consider the age, I am more considering their conditioning both fighters consider this as their level up fight, both trains are on the go and one of the trains is going to stop after this fight, I like Silva to win, but a win by Jake Paul will unfold another exciting journey and you are right Connor should be the next if Jake Paul's train continues, it's not going to be battle of skills only but a battle of thrash talks, I am more curious on their thrash talks than on their fight Cheesy
