Jake Paul returns to motion later TONIGHT (Sat., July 20, 2024), dealing with off towards one more former Final Combating Championship (UFC) fighter, Mike Perry, on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV). The 2 males will collide in an eight-round boxing match inside Amalie Enviornment in Tampa, Fla, with Amanda Serrano featured within the co-main occasion reverse Stevie Morgan in a showcase showdown.
What’s Sizzling:
In what can be his fourth battle in lower than 12 months, Paul will return to face Perry in what must be an entertaining scrap. No matter how you’re feeling about Paul, he stays very lively. After struggling the primary lack of his skilled boxing profession by the hands of Tommy Fury — the very first boxer he’s confronted — he has bounced again by successful three straight over Nate Diaz, Andre August, and most not too long ago, knocking out Ryan Bourland 4 months in the past (see it once more right here). So far as Perry is worried, he didn’t finish his UFC profession all that nicely, dropping 4 of his final 5 fights earlier than making his solution to Bareknuckle Combating Championship (BKFC), the place he has gone 5-0. And he did that towards some somewhat lofty competitors, defeating Michael Web page, Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold and Thiago Alves. Within the course of, he gained the inaugural “King of Violence” championship, too.
That is an attention-grabbing battle as a result of regardless of Perry ending his MMA profession on a bitter be aware, he has been doing fairly nicely for himself when all he has to do is use his fists. He did lose his lone boxing match to Kenneth McNeil in 2015, however aside from that he’s undefeated in all-striking battles. That mentioned, he does are likely to get a bit too wild, too overzealous. And whereas that type may go within the naked knuckle world, within the boxing aren’t it’s a bit totally different. And whether or not you want him or not, Paul has actually honed his abilities, and if he catches Perry slipping, he can and can knock him out.
What’s Not:
In what’s the most lopsided matchup on the cardboard, Alexis Chapparo will tackle Kevin Hill. Chapparo is 17-15, which isn’t good by any means, whereas Hill is simply 1-1 and made his professional debut two years in the past. I by no means need to clown on any man or lady who fights for a dwelling, however the ability appears to be severely missing for each males.
Accidents:
Paul was initially set to face Mike Tyson on this date in Dallas, Texas, however the battle was scrapped after “Iron Mike” suffered some medical issues whereas on a flight. Consequently, the battle was rescheduled for Nov. 15, 2024. Not wiling to sit down idle for too lengthy, Paul satisfied Perry to take this battle to fill the void within the meantime.
How The ‘Prelims’ Look:
Headlining the undercard can be a ladies’s 168-pound battle between Shadasia Inexperienced and Natasha Spence. Inexperienced is 13-1 with 11 knockouts. She suffered the primary lack of her profession by the hands of Franchon Crews Dezurn in her final battle, As for Spence, she is simply 8-4-1, going 0-2-1 in her final three fights.
21 year-old Angel Barrientes brings his eight-fight win streak to his bout towards Edwin Rodriguez in a 122-pound contest. Rodriguez is on a heck of a run himself, because of his 30-2 report. He’s a harmful orthodox fighter who’s 6-1 in his final seven fights with 20 knockouts on his resume. As for Barrientes, seven of his 11 wins have come by the use of knockout.
In a 175-pound tilt, Ariel Perez will go toe-to-toe towards Dane Guerrero in an eight-round affair. Perez is simply 3-0 after making his professional debut lower than a yr in the past, scoring two technical knockout (TKO) wins, within the course of. At 32 years of age, he received a late begin to his professional boxing profession. As for Guerrero, he can be making his boxing debut.
Who Wants A Win Badly:
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has by no means fairly lived as much as his father’s legacy, however that’s a troublesome job to ask of anybody as a result of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. has a resume not many can get near. Jr’s profession has been up and down and getting wins constantly has been very laborious for him to do as of late. To be honest, he did begin off his profession with a formidable 40-0-2 report, however since dropping to Sergio Martinez in 2012, his profession has actually gone downhill a bit. He’s simply 7-5 since and has confronted a number of private points which will have impacted his efficiency contained in the ring. Now, he seems to be to earn his first back-to-back wins in virtually eight years when he takes on former UFC star, Uriah Corridor. Sure, it’s an odd matchup to say the least. Corridor ended his UFC profession on two straight defeats. He made his professional boxing debut in 2022, defeating former NFL star, Leveon Bell, through unanimous resolution. This is among the worse mismatches I’ve ever seen, and whereas I do know it was a late addition to the cardboard, it goes to point out you ways far Chavez has fallen. If Chavez loses to Corridor, it will likely be an enormous hit to his confidence and resume.
Curiosity Degree: 7/10
Present WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring feminine Featherweight champion, Amanda Serrano, is probably essentially the most expert fighter on this card with a professional report of 46-2-1. After struggling a loss by the hands of Katie Taylor in April 2022, she bounced again by successful 4 in a row, together with her newest win towards Danila Ramos and has gained 32 out of her final 33 boxing bouts. Morgan doesn’t have the identical expertise as Serrano, although she does have a formidable 14-1 report, which incorporates 12 technical knockout (TKO) wins. That is her hardest take a look at up to now, however a win will put her excessive and produce forth alternatives she’s solely dreamed of.
Undefeated 25 year-old, Tony Aguilar, will put his 12-0-1 mark on the road towards Corey Marksman in a 125-pound affair. He’s an orthodox fighter with solely three stoppages to his identify, however he’s an up-and-coming contender who’s out to raise his inventory. As for Marksman, he’s additionally undefeated at 9-0-1 with seven knockouts. Somebody’s “0” has received to go.
In one other 135-pound bout, Ashton Sylve will do battle with Lucas Bahdi. Sylve is simply 20 years of age however has already established an undefeated report of 11-0 with 9 knockout wins. Bahdi is 10 years his foe’s elder however is simply as harmful, racking up a formidable 16-0 report with 14 stoppages.
