Welcome to a different Thursday version of Magno’s Bulging Mail Sack, the one boxing mail bag column not funded by a boxing promoter or a murderous monarchy. This week, we have now feedback and/or questions concerning Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano, and the David Benavidez-David Morrell conflict.
Jake Paul, David vs. David
Hey Paul,
Good things with the Notes this week.
They will say what they need about Jake Paul, however not less than his occasions pique curiosity from casuals, and a few die-hards. That is greater than I can say for boxing as of late. For boxers these days the combating is usually achieved on social media. I am not a fan of Jake Paul, however not less than you understand what you’re getting along with his occasions. I tune in, in hopes that he get KTFO! And till he does, I am going to in all probability proceed to maintain watching. It isn’t like there are various upcoming fights that you just mark on calendar as cannot miss.
David vs. David
I like this one, if it comes off. A win by both ought to elevate their standing. Leaning in the direction of DB in the intervening time. This has the potential for a rematch, until one or the opposite will get starched.
Regards.
– Reggie Cannon
Hey Reggie.
Like I wrote on this week’s Notes from the Boxing Underground, boxing enterprise folks may study a factor or two from Jake Paul and they need to be selecting out the nice from the unhealthy as a substitute of simply clutching their pearls and slamming Paul. On the base of all the things is the truth that boxing ought to be leisure and the game has not achieved an important job of understanding methods to attain (and hold) youthful followers. Paul brings an vitality to those reveals that boxing folks appears completely clueless in replicating. However they should get with this system and begin trying outdoors the field as a result of leisure choices are in all places and the world is simply passing them by.
Benavidez vs. Morrell is tremendously superior. It’s the sort of battle this sport wants. It’s only a disgrace that it’ll be caught behind a pay-per-view paywall, thereby guaranteeing that solely the already-sold followers shall be watching. These guys deserve a platform the place they’ll attain and convert new followers.
BTW, I additionally lean in the direction of Benavidez.
Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano
Hello, Magno.
As at all times, wishing you and your loved ones one of the best.
I really like my woman, Amanda, but when she desires to defeat Taylor convincingly and formally, she has to bob and weave when going ahead or defend her face together with her guard. She has been giving Taylor hell in each fights by going ahead overpowering her, only one plan. Whereas it has been efficient sufficient to lose controversially, she has to enhance in a trilogy if it ever occurs. She punches and sort of waits for the receipt.
As for the Jake Paul profitable method in boxing, as you could have written earlier than, promoters should get up. Folks tune in, by the thousands and thousands, when a charismatic fighter (you would possibly assume I’m referring to Jake Paul, however it can be somebody like Tyson, interesting to the nostalgic followers who responded to his previous charisma within the ring) is showcased, that together with a Wrestlemania build-up and you’ve got a really profitable occasion. Sure, nearly everybody has Netfllix and when you did not, a 6.99 advert supported subscription would have been sufficient, however Jake has additionally offered thousands and thousands of PPVs combating overmatched over the hill opponents. So, combine a charismatic fighter, WWE build-up and a good price ticket, thousands and thousands will tune in.
One thing tells me a Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr might be on the horizon through PPV. that is the place we’re at proper now. That is filling the void till the subsequent Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, ODLH, or Mayweather.
– Benjamin from Puerto Rico
Hey Benjamin.
You’re spot on with regards to Serrano, though I feel this Taylor battle ought to’ve been a transparent factors victory.
As for Jake Paul? He’s not taking something away from anybody and he’s not taking over a spot that might go to a greater “actual” boxer. If he weren’t round, there’d simply be an empty spot and, consequently, Amanda Serrano (and others) wouldn’t be getting the publicity they’re getting. So, boxing “purists” must recover from themselves. They should ask the game’s energy brokers why they’ll’t generate a mainstream-viable fighter slightly than selecting at a man merely exploiting the void boxing has created by frequently mishandling their enterprise.
Jake Paul vs. Boxing
Hey Paul.
It’s telling that so many actual boxers are calling Jake Paul out or tied to rumored fights with him. There’s Daniel Dubois, Artur Beterbiev, and Ryan Garcia who’ve known as him out straight. Then there’s talked about fights with Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. How do you assume Jake Paul fares towards any of those names?
– Les
Hey Les.
Dubois and Beterbiev would homicide Jake Paul, and so would Canelo. Even Garcia, regardless of having to placed on (or give away) not less than 40 kilos to make the battle, ought to be closely favored. Chavez Jr., although, is so degraded and diminished that he may find yourself dropping. Jake Paul is healthier than some folks give him credit score for, however he’s nonetheless, IMO, a club-level fighter by way of ability, capacity, and expertise.
