Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are getting ready for a boxing match on November 14. The fight has people talking because of the big difference in their sizes.
Joe Rogan, who talks about fights for the UFC, shared his thoughts on his podcast. He thinks the weight difference between Paul and Davis is too much.
Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis are so crazy. 135 vs 200, that is so nuts
Rogan pointed out that Paul fights at cruiserweight, which is around 200 pounds. Davis, on the other hand, usually fights at lightweight, which is 135 pounds.
The fight will be an exhibition match. This means no one will officially win or lose. Rogan had something to say about that too:
That means nobody wins! It's weird
He thinks this kind of match is more about getting people to watch than about real competition.
Demetrious Johnson, who used to be a champion in the UFC, also shared his opinion. He thinks Paul should fight someone closer to his size. Johnson suggested Darren Till as a better opponent. Till recently won a fight against Luke Rockhold by knockout.
Fans of boxing and MMA are excited about the Paul-Davis match. But after Rogan's comments, more people are asking questions. They're wondering if the fight is fair or safe because of the big weight difference.
Paul usually fights at cruiserweight, which is around 200 pounds. Davis naturally fights at lightweight, which is 135 pounds. That's a 65-pound difference.
