I watched the fight and let’s not kid ourselves, this was about money and a gentle workout for AJ as he works his way back. AJ better bring a lot more (I know he was holding back) if he hopes to get back into contention in the heavyweight division.

I don’t think we see Jake Paul in Heavyweight again. And I suspect that he will not have such a large step up in opponent in the future. He is getting older too and his advisers need to remind him that at some point he needs to look after himself.

Forgetting the hype train etc that surrounds him, he clearly can build MVP going forward. He’s a brave person getting into the boxing ring, and borderline crazy to fight AJ, but he needs to recognize that 2 breaks in his jaw is pretty lucky.
