I get that, and I’m a middle aged women and I’d be tempted. Thing is the risk of serious harm, there’s no such thing as a death proof punch and there’s a chance of lifelong injuries. He’s got months of pain and drinking soup ahead of him and he may not be able to work as much when he loves the kudos it gets him. And that’s if it’s a straight forward heal that doesn’t cause him further issues… it’s a high risk venture and you only get one body
Death is extremely rare in boxing, serious injuries are also rare. The main issue with boxers is the lifetime of getting hit tends to add up, especially hits to the head.
Jake Paul’s jaw injury is just about the worst thing you could expect to have happen in a single boxing match, as long as the referee was competent and didn’t allow a fighter with a concussion to keep fighting.
Yes you’re completely right, they are rare. They’re not impossible though and most boxing matches have roundabout equal skill. Jake is a twat who thinks he’s a big man but he’s not.
The influencer obviously has much less skill than the boxer. But, he has been getting the best training money can buy for several years, and he’s used a lot of steroids to get as big as possible. It’s not like you or me getting into the ring, it’s a decently talented amateur boxer going up against a pro. He was trained on how to defend himself, and had the experience to do it. I think he got as badly injured as he did mainly because he acted like a twat in two ways. First, he spent a lot of the match running away, which tired him out. Second, he spent a lot of it showboating and taunting Joshua, with his hands down.
The punch that wrecked his jaw was a clean hit that happened both because the influencer was too tired to defend himself properly, and was acting like in idiot and not defending his head. Joshua was eventually going to win, regardless. But, the influencer probably would have been less damaged if he’d fought fairly and protected his head. Then he’d have been hit through his guard, which would have been enough to drop him, but not to wreck his jaw.
