Most people underestimated Jake, me included, because he was more of an online personality, but he's been training hard and you could see it in his last fights.
What I don't like about him is that he's always picking old retired MMA fighters, or very old boxers like Tyson. When he finally got a decent boxer (Fury) he lost.
So, I'd bet on Davis here, but... There always has to be a catch like that weight difference. These are not fights you really want to bet on because they're more like something you'd see in a circus.
Jake is picking fights where he has an advantage, and this time, his only advantage is his size and weight, which could backfire, as he may underestimate his much lighter opponent.
Neither fighters want to lose in this fight. Gervonta doesn’t want to lose here because he has never lost a fight, and Jake has not only a reputation to protect but also doesn’t want to lose to a fighter who is smaller than his size.
If this fight becomes a big hit, expect a lot of small guy vs big guy exhibition matches.
Jake continues to innovate in his exhibition matches. I wonder after this what’s next for him. Maybe he will fight a retired sumo wrestler
