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, we’ve got 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 will say what they need about Jake Paul, however a minimum of 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 achieved on social media. I am not a fan of Jake Paul, however a minimum of you recognize what you’re getting along with his occasions. I tune in, in hopes that he get KTFO! And till he does, I am going to in all probability proceed to maintain watching. It is not like there are various upcoming fights that you just 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 mean 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 may be taught a factor or two from Jake Paul and they need to be choosing out the great from the dangerous as an alternative of simply clutching their pearls and slamming Paul. On the base of all the pieces is the truth that boxing must be leisure and the game has not achieved an excellent job of understanding find out how to attain (and preserve) youthful followers. Paul brings an power to those exhibits that boxing folks appears totally clueless in replicating. However they should get with this system and begin wanting exterior the field as a result of leisure choices are in every single place and the world is simply passing them by.
Benavidez vs. Morrell is tremendously superior. It’s the sort of battle 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 can be watching. These guys deserve a platform the place they’ll attain and convert new followers.
BTW, I additionally lean in the direction of Benavidez.
Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano
Hello, Magno.
As at all times, wishing you and your loved ones the very best.
I like my lady, Amanda, but when she desires to defeat Taylor convincingly and formally, she has to bob and weave when going ahead or defend 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 components in boxing, as you could have written earlier than, promoters should get up. Folks tune in, by the thousands and thousands, when a charismatic fighter (you would possibly suppose I’m referring to Jake Paul, but it surely can 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, virtually everybody has Netfllix and in case you did not, a 6.99 advert supported subscription would have been sufficient, however Jake has additionally offered thousands and thousands of PPVs preventing overmatched over the hill opponents. So, combine a charismatic fighter, WWE build-up and a good price ticket, thousands and 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 the case of Serrano, though I believe this Taylor battle 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” have to recover from themselves. They should ask the game’s energy brokers why they’ll’t generate a mainstream-viable fighter reasonably than choosing 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 known as him out instantly. Then there’s talked about fights with Canelo and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. How do you suppose Jake Paul fares towards 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) a minimum of 40 kilos to make the battle, must be closely favored. Chavez Jr., although, is so degraded and diminished that he may find yourself shedding. Jake Paul is healthier than some folks give him credit score for, however he’s nonetheless, IMO, a club-level fighter when it comes to talent, capacity, and expertise.
