Paul vs. Silva

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

I actually believe Jake would beat Hall via points lul

Mma fighters need to stay out of boxing they always disappoint 

@mma analyser Hall is a 38 year old who retired from MMA after consecutive losses. He was always more of a kicker than a puncher so he stands upright which isn't good for working the body or getting snap on the punches in boxing and ****s up your mobility too. When it came to Halls punches he typically pot shotted and had a decent jab in MMA. We saw Bell also exploit like many boxers constantly ducking and clinching which would get them knocked out in a Thai or MMA bout too. 

Same for Woodley, dude was always a low volume striker with mostly an over hand and he used his overhand to set up his takedowns and vice versa. But Woodley was a pot shotter, bad cardio and low output...not the kinda MMA guy who translates to boxing. Find me movers, combination boxers, guys with real punch selection. Why does no one mention a guy like Mike Perry beating 25-3 pro boxer on triller or Ryan Ford upsetting a Thai Olympic Gold medalist and Robert Berridge in a pro boxing bout? 

Anyways, there's MMA guys who can do well in boxing to certain levels and if they crossed over early enough like mid twenties at the latest could maybe even reach top 10/20 status. It's a very different sport but retired MMA fighters on losing skids who have low output pot shotting upright styles like Woodley and Hall aren't good representatives, neither is Askren coming off a hip replacement and Anderson Silva is ******* 47 years old. Why isn't Jake Paul boxing Albert Tumenov?

Because tumenov would ******* destroy jake 

bro... a mma fighter was fighting a nfl player... going to distance is crazy

he was top 15 5 months ago

Ashton has a lot of potential he’ll be in the mix with tank ,Haney ,and shakur in a few years 

What I say 

Eh, that looked a little Divey! 

Sylve landed the one and done against a tough opponent who has fought some quality names. Really impressive stuff Jake Paul signed a gem!

I can live with Paul beating Silva in a decision, but please god don't let me see Anderson face down with Jake Paul standing over him

any chance this gon be scripted?

i honestly wouldnt mind silva vs nate in a boxing match simply just to see how they sell that fight

What are these mfs talking about lmao
