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, now we have 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 not less than 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 not less than you realize what you might be getting together with his occasions. I tune in, in hopes that he get KTFO! And till he does, I will in all probability proceed to maintain watching. It isn’t 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 the direction of DB in the intervening time. 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 be taught a factor or two from Jake Paul and they need to be selecting out the great from the dangerous as a substitute of simply clutching their pearls and slamming Paul. On the base of all the things is the truth that boxing ought to be leisure and the game has not carried out an ideal job of understanding how you can attain (and maintain) youthful followers. Paul brings an vitality to those reveals that boxing folks appears completely clueless in replicating. However they should get with this system and begin trying exterior the field as a result of leisure choices are far and wide and the world is simply passing them by.
Benavidez vs. Morrell is tremendously superior. It’s the sort 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 shall be watching. These guys deserve a platform the place they will attain and convert new followers.
BTW, I additionally lean in the direction of Benavidez.
Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano
Hello, Magno.
As all the time, wishing you and your loved ones one of the best.
I really like my woman, Amanda, but when she needs to defeat Taylor convincingly and formally, she has to bob and weave when going ahead or shield 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 sort of waits for the receipt.
As for the Jake Paul profitable method in boxing, as you might have written earlier than, promoters should get up. Folks tune in, by the hundreds of thousands, when a charismatic fighter (you would possibly assume I’m referring to Jake Paul, but it surely may also 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 should you did not, a 6.99 advert supported subscription would have been sufficient, however Jake has additionally bought hundreds of thousands of PPVs preventing overmatched over the hill opponents. So, combine a charismatic fighter, WWE build-up and an honest price ticket, hundreds of thousands will tune in.
One thing tells me a Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr might be on the horizon by way of 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 terms 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” must recover from themselves. They should ask the game’s energy brokers why they will’t generate a mainstream-viable fighter somewhat 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 referred to as him out instantly. Then there’s talked about fights with Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. How do you assume Jake Paul fares in opposition to 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) not less than 40 kilos to make the struggle, ought to be closely favored. Chavez Jr., although, is so degraded and diminished that he might find yourself dropping. 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, capability, and expertise.
