This sounds a bit more interesting than some of the Jake Paul pish we have been hearing. Even if Silva is 47 and an MMA guy, not a boxer.

Can Silva box at all?

He can but he's 47.

Oscar De La Hoya predicting Paul will KO Silva.

Oscar De La Hoya makes Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva pick: He's going to knock him out (msn.com)

Eh hard for me to take Oscar seriously.

I think this is business pick.

If he picks Silva and he is wrong it has no chance of helping his bottom line. If he picks Silva and is right Silva probably won't be skinned onto Oscar and even if he is there isn't much up side because Silva isn't going to generate huge money.


If he picks Paul and he is wrong it's a wash...but if he picks Paul and is right he might be able to play to Paul's ego and make a ton of promoting a fight for Paul.

Meanwhile Rahman Jr's next fight is promoted by "Misfits boxing" is against some guy called Vitor Belfort (who I understand was in the UFC when he was competitive and fought at a weight class below Rahman Jr's normal weight class but now he's past it he's turned to boxing) and to prepare himself for this apparently over the hill and undersized MMA fighter he's sparring with a youtuber turned rapper called KSI.

Belfort is 45 and yet another past-it name dredged up to pad a record with.

Isn't he the one who knocked out the thousand year old Holyfield?

Sad but true. Holyfield was nearly 60.
