The power he has doesn’t make him an actual risk to Mike. Something is feasible within the ring, however I don’t suppose that is too huge of a threat for Mike.
“It’s not like he’s derelict or one thing like that. He’s bought a chance doing one thing he feels he can do and he’ll put up displaying. He’s not doing one thing that he’s not completed earlier than. And the clips I noticed of him earlier than, he’s trying fairly good. Higher than a lot of the heavyweights on the market at this time. I feel he might maintain up for certain.
“The way in which they struggle now, I’m certain he might deal with himself. The expertise pool isn’t that nice. They’re alright, nevertheless it’s not just like the robust high ten or high 20 from our day. There are numerous weak hyperlinks. Mike goes to be f******g relentless. He has no motive to hesitate.
“Jake must exit instantly – and bang – let him know there’s one thing to look out for. In any other case it’s going to be open goal season, and Mike’s going to be throwing pictures with no fear about what’s coming again. Mike has by no means been apprehensive about what’s coming again at him, why the f*** would he be apprehensive about Jake Paul.”

The 2-minute rounds might be to Mike’s benefit for certain, these two minutes will go shortly. You will get your pictures off after which get better. I feel Mike will carry that depth in these two-minute rounds like Mike again within the day.
“The opposite benefit for Mike is that Paul isn’t a significant risk, so far as energy coming again at him. You’re combating a man like Mike who’s coming with thunder and he’s not likely looking for something coming again. It could be totally different if Paul was a respectable heavyweight with abilities and skill. “
