My prediction for the winner of Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. has changed from when I first heard about the fight and up until now. Upon further research, I’m uber confident in the $1000 bet I’m laying on the boxing bout at Madison Square Garden on August 6.
Ultimately, there’s one question that I think will decide this fight above everything else: can Jake’s power translate against bigger opponents? This is the first time Paul has faced somehow who’s way, way bigger than him. I think Rahman’s sheer size even surprised Paul at the two’s press conference in MSG.
Rahman is a natural heavyweight, who is being forced to come down to the cruiserweight limit of 200 pound — which isn’t exactly an easy cut, little less with only a month’s notice. Combined with the stipulated rehydration clause, and Rahman’s size suddenly doesn’t become as big as an advantage as it first appears.
Yes, Rahman is Paul’s first “real boxer” challenge. Yes, Rahman is a southpaw, which is also new to Paul. But those advantages are negated by the hard cut and shortened training camp — one month only thanks to Tommy Fury once again fumbling the bag.
Rahman might be a small step-up in competition from Fury, but it’s very clear why the Paul camp chose to fight both if you watch my video.

GOATS ONLY; TAP IN:
Good luck with your bet man! I personally think Jake's power will translate against Rahman Jr, especially with Hasim only being allowed to rehydrate past 214 pounds on the afternoon of fight day, but he probably won't spark him out like he did with Woodley or Robinson, probably just a TKO. The one thing I think Jake will be troubled with is of course the size and body shots Rahman throws. Jake may be faster, but he won't be the big bad bully in this fight, he's the shorter, lighter fighter with less reach. (Jake has a 74 inch reach according to Showtime, the 76" listing was cap.)
Either way, I'm still semi-confident Jake can get the job done come August 6th. What I'm interested in is if Tommy Fumbles will even sign the contract for a third time, let alone even mention Jake depending on how Jake deals with Rahman. He did sign the contract twice before, but he just didn't show up to fight. After August 6th, he might not even show up to sign the contract.
Cmon man you cant call him muhammad ali 2.0 yikes
You have to remember Hasin had 2 k followers on instagram, he is 15-1 , have you seen the wins Hasim got? What if he trains hard so he wont be another meme , I am not gonna bet, also Jake Paul is a vine guy , anything can happen
I agree. As long as Jake manage the outpower Hasim will try to apply early in the fight; later on, big punches will start landing right in Hasim face
He has to lose the weight he has to train he has to do a full on press tour in one month
Ali 2.0 … a rich white kid who cherry picks and is "buying" a boxing career is the next Ali… how disrespectful 😤 rahman is his team mate. The fix is in but Ali 2.0….foh goofy
You deserve way more views
This kid bought his way to boxing success. You’re a clown for comparing him to Ali.
My guy!!! Always spitting. You about to be 500 bucks richer.
Jake will win because homeboy hasim doesn't guard his face ever
This is not a good fight to bet. The outcome is too hard to predict. One thing you didn't touch on was who has the best jab. The jab is the most important punch in boxing and Hasim has a way better jab than Jake does. With that punch alone he can win the fight. Also, he was beating Morrison up until the KO with guess what? The jab. You must also take into consideration that he will train harder for this fight than any other because the whole world is watching and if he loses he will be a joke. I wouldn't bet this fight, but if I did it wouldn't be on Jake and I have picked Jake to win all his other fights. I like Jake and have no bias against him. You might want to consider saving your money on this one.
