Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis – Gross or bad? “No fighter would say that I don’t want this fight” | Boxing news

The world of boxing is reconciled with Gervonta Davis Boxing Jake Paul in an exhibition later this year.

Paul entered professional boxing with a large continuation on social networks. Always essentially a novice professional, he might have lost against Tommy Fury, but beat the great MMA fighters in Boxing, exceeded Mike Tyson, 58 and recently beat a former world champion at Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

However, when he met Davis in November, he will box a current world champion of 30 years. The complication is that Davis is a light weight and Paul box to Cruiserweight and above.

It is a significant difference. Paul measures about six feet an inch and around 200 pounds, davis just over five feet five and he boxes at 135 pounds.

Further details, on a weight limit for this exposure, the size of the gloves and the number and duration of the rounds, must still be confirmed.

But it is an event that will divide opinion into sport. In terms of capacity, Davis is one of the most popular boxers in the world. But instead of taking a revenge match with Lamont Roach, who held him in a draw last time, or face a rival world champion like Shakur Stevenson, Davis chose to box someone whose best career victory probably came against Anderson Silva.

Judged on the skills level and the achievements in the ring, there should be no comparison between Davis and Paul. But the gulf in weight between them is enormous and it is difficult to plan how it will shape the procedures when they enter the ring.

The competitor of heavy goods vehicles, David Adeleye, thinks that it will not necessarily be a simple outing for Davis.

“Let’s just say that Gervonta does not train and that he arrives in heavy and that he carries an excess,” said Adeley Toe podcast.

“If Jake Paul folds back and absorbs punishment,” says, “says there is an advantage of weight.

“It’s dangerous. If Jake does something good, he will show many people why there are weight classes in this sport. But Gervonta Davis is a qualified fighter, he is global.”

Coach and Sky Sports Boxing The Pundit Gary Logan added: “70 pounds is 70 pounds. Joey Maxim was not supposed to beat a Ray Robinson who went from average weight to light weight and a combination of temperature that night and his mass, everything he did was to continue walking Ray Robinson.”

But he still criticized Davis’s decision to participate in this exhibition, saying: “He is obviously, unfortunately, no inheritance. He is not a question of inheritance. The great fighters, the fighters who want to be great, okay, they want to be paid but they are inheritance. They are on the place where I am in history.”

He added: “This is what boxing has become. Boxing is now threatening to eat itself.”

Adeley thinks that Davis could have “fallen in love” of boxing.

“Probably doesn’t like how things are, don’t like the business, some things behind closed doors. Obviously, he had his last fight, he probably saw how all his supporters turned against him and he probably thought:” You know what, I do it for me now. Because these people will not be there for me “” “the truck has suggested.

“He looks at him because he’s going to get more money to fight Jake Paul because he will never fight someone else. So he takes it.”

Adeleye does not blame Davis for that. “If this opportunity was given to many fighters, many fighters would take it,” he said.

“There is no fighter who will stay there and say that I don’t want this fight.”
