I'm not married to the suggestion or anything, and far from a conspiracy theorist.

Let me ask you this... Does Paul strike you as someone who gives a flip about breaking a federal crime? Especially if... He's already done it once and gotten away with it?

Not saying he would...

[Joseph]

As terrible as Tommy is, the one thing I will say is that the Fury's most likely follow no one's script but their own. Chalk that up to them probably being semi-illiterate, whatever, but I never got the vibe that any from that clan would acquiesce to a Paul paycheck, or to anyone else's. That's just...

[Joseph]

The argument (or conspiracy, whichever) exists that Paul's fights are scripted. Can't say for sure, but there's a lot of circumstantial (and visual) evidence to suggest as much.

Let's say they are... Which fighter is going to break script? And if they do, what would Jake do/say about it?...

[Joseph]

They treated Lamont like his surname. He won that fight....

[Joseph]

*shrug* He made Matias look awfully silly......

[Joseph]

Nah, don't blame the peeps securing their bags. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes....

[Joseph]

...a non-active career middleweight at that.

Also, can't remember if it was the ninth or tenth, but Chavez caught Jake with a great shot and he was out on his feet for a few seconds. You can see him crumble and Chavez' shoulder (and the ref) are keeping him standing whilst he recuperates....

[Joseph]

Canelo gonna come into this fight 200+ pounds. Watch.

[Joseph]

So Jake could mention his name. That's it. Optics are essential to Jake's success....

[Joseph]

Yes, and I am willing to bet he will NEVER fight Tommy again. He will lose every time. To Tommy fucking Fury.

For me, Jake Paul is currently a semi-useful idiot. When his cards start looking like the Times Square fiasco, I'll officially tune out. But they haven't. Other than his fights,...

Oscar is no "better" than Ryan by facilitating a narrative across social media, even if Ryan fits the description to a tee.

I don't necessarily like Ryan; I don't have any feelings toward him, really, but mental health is NOT something to spar over. Even with your worst enemy...

[Joseph]

5th/7th place. Moving on up, to the skyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[Joseph]

Are they smoking good stuff or gutter weed laced with PCP? I obviously cannot speak for the entirety of the human race but my experience with proper weed has had no direct connotations with throwing a punch, or even the slightest bit of anger or hostility. Bunch of guys from Thailand are about to get...

[Joseph]

First fight was shockingly exciting. I will watch a second.

[Joseph]

Paul puts on some good cards. Paul does great things for women's boxing. Paul is bringing eyes to the sport. All of that stuff is amazing and I will forever commend him for it.

He's still a terrible boxer who gasses after five rounds and has no business being ranked. For all the good that...

[Joseph]

Dude, no way is Jake going to fight Zurdo next, or likely ever (Zurdo isn't over 40 or inactive). I will eat crow if he does. Like, I will literally find the nearest BB gun, pummel some poor bird with pellets, then cook and eat that motherfucker....

[Joseph]

I go back and forth. Both have looked good and both have looked bad at the weight. Jai has more experience there, but Zurdo has a better overall resume. Jai is more explosive and probably has more pop, but I still think Zurdo is more fundamentally sound than Opetai. Regardless of who wins, it needs...

[Joseph]

Cieslak had real volume and a seemingly decent engine on display. I had only seen him fight Makabu previous. I don't believe he'll go much further, but it was a good enough showing that he deserves a shot. More than Jake Paul.

[Joseph]

How strong is Jake, really? Chavez is an inactive middleweight jumping three divisions. His chin ain't THAT sturdy.

[Joseph]

I'll watch Jake's cards; they're good. Poor main events, but good unders.
