Will Hasim Rahman Jr defeat Jake Paul

While the official betting odds haven't been released for August's fight between Hasim Rahman Jr. and Jake Paul, the former is expected to be a massive favorite. 'The Problem Child' is only five fights into his career, although he has made it through undefeated. However, he's never fought a single boxer with a professional victory under their belt. Furthermore, he's never faced a boxer around his size. While Paul has stated that he walks around 200 pounds, his foes generally fight around 170 pounds. He's not just fighting someone his size this time around—the YouTuber is fighting someone who's even bigger than him. In terms of boxing ability, Rahman Jr. doesn't look like a future champion. Luckily for him, that doesn't really matter in this sort of fight, as he's fighting a YouTuber with only a few years of experience. Presently, Rahman Jr. looks like he will have an easy night in August, but Paul's power makes the fight intriguing. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
