Promoter Oscar De La Hoya went after Jake Paul on this week’s Clapback Thursday, ripping him for preventing 58-year-old Mike Tyson this Friday evening on Netflix.
De La Hoya says he hopes Tyson knocks Jake out with a left uppercut. Oscar feels that it’s low of Jake to decide on the previous heavyweight champion Tyson for a battle as a result of he’s an “previous man,” and it does nothing so as to add “credibility” to his resume, which is crammed with wins over older fighters.
De La Hoya says Jake may “damage” Tyson within the battle, and he doesn’t prefer it. I don’t suppose Paul, 27, actually cares what De La Hoya or anybody else says about his selecting to battle Tyson as a result of he’s been preventing older guys since he began his profession 4 years in the past in 2020.
Oscar Desires Jake To Lose
If Tyson lands something vital with the 14-oz gloves he’s sporting, he probably will knock Jake Paul out on this battle as a result of he’s not been hit by anybody along with his sort of energy throughout his profession. In Tyson’s exercises, he appears to be like like he may knock down a home with a single punch.
“After only some years within the sport, you’ve been capable of get your self an infinite payday, and also you’re preventing Mike Tyson, however you’re preventing him at 60 years previous,” mentioned Oscar De La Hoya throughout his clapback Thursday this week.
Paul wouldn’t be capable of get this payday after only a “few years” in boxing if he didn’t have an infinite following outdoors of the game as a YouTuber with over 20 million subscribers and 27 million Instagram followers. Jake is making this cash due to his followers, not as a result of he’s labored his approach up. He’s not fought anybody but in boxing who wasn’t restricted.
This may increasingly go over the top of followers, however Jake has fought solely ONE boxer throughout his profession, and that was cruiserweight Tommy Fury, and he misplaced to him by an eight-round break up determination final yr on February 26, 2023.
The remaining fighters Paul has fought have been non-boxers from MMA and one basketball participant. In his solely expertise towards a boxer, Jake was schooled by Tommy Fury, who isn’t a world-class fighter. Dropping to Tommy was a foul expertise for Jaul, who gave up on preventing boxers after that defeat and has feasted on these non-boxers since:
– Mike Perry
– Ryan Bourland
– Andre August
– Nate Diaz
These are NOT boxers, and it’s comprehensible why Jake didn’t return to preventing guys from the game after his loss to Tommy Fury. That man made him look unhealthy by out-boxing him and exposing his lack of expertise.
I believe it’s protected to say that even when Mike Tyson appears to be like completely shot, he’ll nonetheless knock out Jake Paul simply based mostly on his energy, expertise, and expertise. Let’s get this straight: Jake Paul is NOT a boxer. He’s an influencer who yaps on YouTube and Instagram. In different phrases, he’s a marketer.
“That is critical s*** the place you may truly damage him as a result of he’s an previous man. Jake, it provides zero credibility to your resume. I’ve been saying this for years. If you wish to be taken significantly in boxing, you must take a unique path. However, I’ll be watching, and I hope Mike catches you with that left uppercut and knocks you out.”
“One punch. Watch out with Paul solely as a result of Paul has methods. Tyson will get hit with one punch at his age, you begin to hear humorous noises,” mentioned George Foreman to USA Right this moment about what Jake Paul can do to Mike Tyson if he lands.
“Jake Paul isn’t any pushover, and he’s not afraid of any of those guys. Time is on his facet. So pleased for Mike Tyson, he wanted this pleasure in his life. Everyone seems to be speaking about it.”
