If and when Jake Paul defeats Anderson Silva on Saturday evening will you salute the social media manipulator, who took up boxing as a side hustle in 2018?

No, you probably won’t if you are pre disposed to being dismissive of Jake’s track record in boxing,  stemming from the fact that you lament the amount of attention he gets.

Guess what?

The 25 year old cruiserweight Paul doesn’t care, as long as you are interested enough to tune in to see how he performs against graybeard MMA legend Silva on the Showtime PPV event.

Jake Paul is 22 years younger than Silva, that should be helpful to the still neophyte boxer on fight night.

The legend from Brazil Silva is 47, the ‘Hate Jake’ set will point out, and once again, the younger Paul brother won’t be fighting a full fledged pugilist.

True, and true.

But Silva (3-1 as a boxer) isn’t some Ben Askren, he knows his way around a ring, knows what to do with his hands. Silva decisioned Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in their June 19, 2021 eight rounder.

OK, yes, we’re talking “Jackpot Junior” here, his best days are long past.

But…The son of the legend had 58 pro boxing bouts under his belt at the time. You can hate the current state of the game, but this player, Jake Paul, he deserves a measure of respect for elevating his skills to this level this quickly.

Oh…you thinking what I’m thinking? Jake vs Jackpot Junior next, if JP handles Silva?
