Welcome to a different Thursday version of Magno’s Bulging Mail Sack, the one boxing mail bag column not funded by a boxing promoter or a murderous monarchy. This week, we’ve got feedback and/or questions concerning Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano, and the David Benavidez-David Morrell conflict.
Jake Paul, David vs. David
Hey Paul,
Good things with the Notes this week.
They’ll say what they need about Jake Paul, however at the least his occasions pique curiosity from casuals, and a few die-hards. That is greater than I can say for boxing as of late. For boxers these days the preventing is usually carried out on social media. I am not a fan of Jake Paul, however at the least you already know what you’re getting together with his occasions. I tune in, in hopes that he get KTFO! And till he does, I will most likely proceed to maintain watching. It is not like there are various upcoming fights that you simply mark on calendar as cannot miss.
David vs. David
I like this one, if it comes off. A win by both ought to elevate their standing. Leaning in direction of DB in the meanwhile. This has the potential for a rematch, until one or the opposite will get starched.
Regards.

Hey Reggie.
Like I wrote on this week’s Notes from the Boxing Underground, boxing enterprise folks might study a factor or two from Jake Paul and they need to be selecting out the great from the dangerous as an alternative of simply clutching their pearls and slamming Paul. On the base of the whole lot is the truth that boxing ought to be leisure and the game has not carried out an incredible job of understanding how one can attain (and maintain) youthful followers. Paul brings an power to those exhibits that boxing folks appears totally clueless in replicating. However they should get with this system and begin trying outdoors the field as a result of leisure choices are in every single place and the world is simply passing them by.
Benavidez vs. Morrell is tremendously superior. It’s the form of struggle this sport wants. It’s only a disgrace that it’ll be caught behind a pay-per-view paywall, thereby guaranteeing that solely the already-sold followers might be watching. These guys deserve a platform the place they will attain and convert new followers.
BTW, I additionally lean in direction of Benavidez.
Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano
Hello, Magno.
As at all times, wishing you and your loved ones the very best.
I like my lady, Amanda, but when she needs to defeat Taylor convincingly and formally, she has to bob and weave when going ahead or defend her face together with her guard. She has been giving Taylor hell in each fights by going ahead overpowering her, only one plan. Whereas it has been efficient sufficient to lose controversially, she has to enhance in a trilogy if it ever occurs. She punches and form of waits for the receipt.
As for the Jake Paul profitable formulation in boxing, as you could have written earlier than, promoters should get up. Individuals tune in, by the thousands and thousands, when a charismatic fighter (you would possibly suppose I’m referring to Jake Paul, however it can be somebody like Tyson, interesting to the nostalgic followers who responded to his previous charisma within the ring) is showcased, that together with a Wrestlemania build-up and you’ve got a really profitable occasion. Sure, nearly everybody has Netfllix and in case you did not, a 6.99 advert supported subscription would have been sufficient, however Jake has additionally bought thousands and thousands of PPVs preventing overmatched over the hill opponents. So, combine a charismatic fighter, WWE build-up and an honest price ticket, thousands and thousands will tune in.
One thing tells me a Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr could possibly be on the horizon through PPV. that is the place we’re at proper now. That is filling the void till the subsequent Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, ODLH, or Mayweather.
– Benjamin from Puerto Rico
Hey Benjamin.
You’re spot on in the case of Serrano, though I believe this Taylor struggle ought to’ve been a transparent factors victory.
As for Jake Paul? He’s not taking something away from anybody and he’s not taking over a spot that might go to a greater “actual” boxer. If he weren’t round, there’d simply be an empty spot and, consequently, Amanda Serrano (and others) wouldn’t be getting the publicity they’re getting. So, boxing “purists” have to recover from themselves. They should ask the game’s energy brokers why they will’t generate a mainstream-viable fighter relatively than selecting at a man merely exploiting the void boxing has created by regularly mishandling their enterprise.
Jake Paul vs. Boxing
Hey Paul.
It’s telling that so many actual boxers are calling Jake Paul out or tied to rumored fights with him. There’s Daniel Dubois, Artur Beterbiev, and Ryan Garcia who’ve known as him out straight. Then there’s talked about fights with Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. How do you suppose Jake Paul fares towards any of those names?
– Les
Hey Les.
Dubois and Beterbiev would homicide Jake Paul, and so would Canelo. Even Garcia, regardless of having to placed on (or give away) at the least 40 kilos to make the struggle, ought to be closely favored. Chavez Jr., although, is so degraded and diminished that he might find yourself shedding. Jake Paul is healthier than some folks give him credit score for, however he’s nonetheless, IMO, a club-level fighter by way of talent, potential, and expertise.
