Jake Paul continues along his boxing journey, but he has the biggest obstacle he's ever faced stuck in his path. That obstacle's name is Anderson Silva.
But now that Paul continues to improve (and has shown legit KO power) and now that Silva is 47, I’m swinging the other way. Here’s more info on the Jake Paul vs. I’m going with Paul by stoppage in the fourth round. He’s the first left-hander that Paul will have faced, and as far as talent is concerned, Silva is one of the best to ever compete in UFC. [a -250 favorite](https://www.nj.bet365.com/?_h=4r18ya75g2O4nRgTA2UqVg%3D%3D#/AC/B9/C1/D8/E15135087/F8/G124903960/H4/) (bet $250 to win $100) while Silva is the +205 underdog (win $205 on a $100 wager). Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) has had one close fight—his first matchup vs. At one point, when this fight was first announced, Anderson Silva was the betting favorite. Last week, Paul was -135 and Silva was +105, and in early September, Silva was the -140 favorite with Paul at +100. “I signed up for the hardest sport in the world, and I love it,” Paul said. Silva will present Paul with some challenges. Instead of getting Canelo Alvarez in the ring, though, Silva will have to settle for Paul, the boxing neophyte who has shown lately that he legitimately has boxing skills. “The energy involved in this fight is so amazing,” Silva said.
