Sergio Mora says Jake Paul won’t make it past the primary round unless Anthony Joshua chooses to toy with him on December nineteenth.
Joshua’s Decline Factor
Mora believes that Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) “shouldn’t stand a likelihood”. After all, he’s overlooking how much the 36-year-old Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) has declined as a consequence of age, ringwear, and inactivity.
It’s not the Joshua from a decade ago that Paul will probably be fighting on December nineteenth on Netflix. It’s the one which was knocked out in five rounds by the flawed Daniel Dubois in September 2024. AJ has been licking his emotional and physical wounds for the last 15 months.
AJ’s “Toy With Him” Option
“It shouldn’t get past the primary round. But when he desires to go some rounds and make it more of an event, I can see AJ toying with him slightly bit,” said Sergio Mora to Chris Mannix’s YouTube channel. “Jake Paul shouldn’t stand a likelihood on this fight. He needs to be beaten down into submission in the primary round.”
Joshua couldn’t knock out Otto Wallin in the primary round, and that was two years ago in 2023. Wallin is a bottom-tier level heavyweight, who 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisora recently beat last February.
The sparring help that Jake has gotten from Frank Sanchez, Lawrence Okolie, and Jared Anderson will help him rather a lot on this fight. These are younger fighters than Joshua, and in Sanchez’s case, faster.
Paul’s Survival Plan
“It’ll make a difference but not much,” said Mora about Jake Paul getting top-notch sparring partners to organize him for Joshua. “He has the resources to advance faster than most. To have those names for a championship-level fight, Jake Paul needs to be shelling out some big money.”
Paul isn’t prone to shell up in front of Joshua because he would know that if he does this, he’d get flurried on. He’s not going to make a mistake like that againt an enormous puncher like AJ.
“Not only that, but big transportation, big money in lodging, food, and travel, and all that equipment. He has the resources to do it. So congratulations to Jake Paul. He can advance faster than most,” said Mora.
