Paul favored over Rahman Jr.

Oddsmakers have established Jake Paul as a -225 favorite over Hasim Rahman Jr. (+180) for their August 6 PPV clash at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The funny thing is Paul was an underdog against his original foe Tommy Fury, yet most consider Rahman to be a tougher opponent than Fury. Go figure.

  • Nose dive + Payday= win for jake, JR gets paid. Don’t waste your money betting.

  • It’s because most folks are seeing this as a fixed fight vs his old sparring partner. Rahman has no career and could take a slick paycheck to fall over. Woodley knock out looked pretty fake to me. Paused dropped his hands and stood there.

  • This will be an interesting fight. Not because Paul is developing some pretty descent boxing skills, but more so becaue it is really gonna prove to him that his conditioning lacks and he cannot get away with jus raw power like he has previously. Rachman Jr is used to going heavy rounds and trains like a pro athlete. Looking at Jakes last few fights, he has descent skill but gets winded way to fast and gets sloppy. IMO, Rachman will carry him for a few rounds (hoping he doesnt get caught with a lucky punch) and then viciously KO him. Jus hope he doesnt permanently hurt Jake.

  • Rahman jr. Sucks that’s why

    Anyone see his fight again Tommy Morrison jr.

    He’s garbage.

  • Paul is absolutely going to destroy Rahman Jr. Then he is going to claim he beat a professional boxer and a son of a former champion and claim he’s an all time great. Absolute JOKE!! Rahman Jr. has NO defense at all!! Paul won’t be able to miss and he’ll eventually KO Rahman Jr. Of course I hope I am WAY wrong and Paul gets his head blasted into the third row, but I don’t see it happening.

  • I consider this a decent match up. Paul is 0-0 vs boxers, so taking on a 12-1 fighter no matter how good or bad is a step up. If he makes Rahman 12-2 then maybe there’s something there. If Paul is exposed then the boxing world rejoices.

  • Hopefully after Paul destroys Rahman Jr people will stop being jealous of this kid.

  • Jake Paul’s a pussy. He could never beat a real boxer or even a fast swimmer would kick his ass 😀 .

  • I have no issues with Paul. He decided he wanted to be a pro boxer and worked hard at it. Most athletes that spent time in Boxing would respect his efforts because it takes a lot to do what he accomplished already. He’s willing to continue to test himself with bigger challenges and he’s been getting better.
    Paul should be an inspiration to you keyboard warriors to not just sit and badmouth but to push your own limits.
    The comments show hardly any of you get their willies wet.

    • “The comments show hardly any of you get their willies wet.”
      – My willie gets wet every time I take a shower. Every time…..

    • I hear you but how is he getting better? He looked like shut against Woodley until that one punch, and woodley looked like shit like he didn’t belong in the ring. All that hype and shot talking Woodley said about letting his hands go but couldn’t. Those fights were a farce. Mcgreggor would pick him apart. Not a Jake Paul fan. From one YouTuber to another. He can’t box

  • Count me among the millions who have no interest in Jake Paul. I don’t consider him a real boxer. He doesn’t fight legitimate fighters. I have never heard of Rahman Jr, so he’s likely garbage. He’s prone to being knocked senseless by even the most amateurish of punches, prone to getting knocked out, prone to running out of gas quickly. If he were a real threat to Paul, Paul never would’ve agreed to fight him.

    Paul is no more a real fighter than WWE is a real sport. He’s entertainment, gimmicky hipster entertainment. As a long time fan of The Sweet Science, I don’t take him seriously. He should be placed under the category, “WBE” or World Boxing Entertainment.

  • Winner gets Mark Wahlburg. Markie Mark should be able to beat em both in one night.
