Jake Paul Vs. Anthony Joshua Predictions – ‘Going To Knock Him Out’
On December 19th, Jake Paul takes on Anthony Joshua as boxing pros gave their predictions.
The bout was arranged after Paul’s original opponent, WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, suffered a civil lawsuit filed against him. The fight with AJ is scheduled for eight, three-minute rounds, with both wearing 10-ounce gloves.
Paul has primarily competed as a cruiserweight (200 pounds). While he did weigh 227.25 pounds for his exhibition against Mike Tyson last year, his professional record is built largely upon victories over retired MMA fighters. Paul is coming off a June victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Though AJ suffered a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September of last year, Joshua’s pedigree is undeniable. He is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion and a fully-fledged heavyweight.
“I think Joshua is going to knock him out. He better. He’s already ditching the gun,” Antonio Zepeda
“I think, uh, Jake Paul, six, seven rounds. I think he’ll probably catch Joshua. I’ll say, I’ll say why. This is the reason why: I think, uh, you know, Andy Andy Ruiz did it. So, why not Jake?,” Andres Cortes
“Oh, I got Anthony Joshua all the way. All the way, Anthony Joshua. I think it goes two,” Tony Hirsch Sr.
Anthony Joshua. By knockout. I feel like, um, if he takes the fight seriously and he’s not, you know, just throwing it, then he should win easily. Uh, maybe not one round, but I feel like in like less than six, for sure,” Tony Hirsch Jr.
