“On the hill?” Jake Paul claims that he defeated the washed Canelo Alvarez, quotes Punch statistics from Tyson Fight

Jake Paul says that Canelo Alvarez is “over the hill “ And he would beat him if they fought on May 3. The weight of Jake’s circuits notes that he has shown more shots in his eight two-minute fights with Mike Tyson on November 15 last year than Canelo in his 12-round fight with William Scull.

Crawford also looked at the shot
Paul thinks it is a signal that Canelo is washed. This is an sincere assumption. Canelo looked like a 100% shot, just like Terenka Crawford in his last fight with Israil Madrimov. They were their former themselves.
Paul and Canelo negotiated in February last year to clash on May 3. However, when Turki Alalshikh signed Alvarez for four fights, on that day he adapted him to William Scull. Turki preferred Canelo to fight “real warriors.” Turki would be better if Canelo would fight Paweł than Szuli, because it would be fun.
“I threw more blows in eight two-minute rounds than in a 12-round fight [against William Scull]- Jake Paul said to media Today during a press conference with Julio Emperar Chavez Jr. at Avalon Hollywood Theater in Los Angeles to promote them on June 28 the fight for Dazn.
Canelo fought, as if he did not train cardio to fight and was too tired to cast more than a few shots in each round. He only threw 152 blows throughout the fight.
“Undoubtedly 1000%. I would beat Canelo. This is what I said. He is on the hill. Oh, for sure”, asked if his fight with Julio Emperar Chavez Jr. It will be more comical than the fight Canelo vs. Terenka Crawford on September 13.
Did Turki call?
Perhaps Turki made the right move, not allowing Canelo to fight Paweł, because if he lost to him, he could not be put in a “great fight” with Crawford after this defeat. Alvarez would be useless.
“Of course, Crawford is a great warrior. Canelo is a great warrior, but I just think it has more noise. We just saw how they are bored ** fights and probably just sitting and dancing for 12 rounds,” said Paul about Canelo vs. Crawford Clash.
Jake is right. Canelo-Crawford will be lifeless because no warrior has nothing, and they probably only fight for money. They are so senior and are not comical to watch.
Paul says that the fight against Canelo “must happen to improve boxing sport.”

It will probably be best remembered as David UFC, who took off Goliath named Ronda Rousey.

Someone forgot to tell Holm that he was to become a smasy pillar to publish an unusual Rousey – because it’s not like that. Instead, Holm literally defeated Rousey senseless.
The fight, brutal and brutal, was not even close. Era Rousey collapsed immediately. However, Holm never reached Rousey’s fame. However, she continued UFC as an attractiveness at a high level and popular. And now, at the age of 43, Holm returns to boxing sport.

Approaching the boxing- I spent most of my MMA career on 135 pounds, and now I have the opportunity to debut in boxing with such weight. With the title of boxing in three classes with a higher weight behind the belt, I was eager to strive for the fourth title in the modern division. “
Several years have passed since the last time Holma in the ring.
