On Saturday, will Anderson Silva be able to prevent Jake Paul from maintaining his flawless boxing record?
Even though he has a lot of respect for Paul’s boxing talents, “The Spider’s” longtime boxing coach Luiz Carlos Dorea is convinced that “The Spider” will win through knockout. Dorea has been Silva’s trainer for over two decades.
Dorea Says Paul Is a Boxing Champion
Dorea said that Paul is building his career like any other “champion” in boxing, but that he is biting off more than he can chew by accepting a match with an MMA legend like Silva. Dorea was speaking on this week’s episode of MMA Fighting’s Trocao Franca.
Silva is a man who destroyed a long list of stars on the feet during his reign as UFC middleweight champion.
Paul is undefeated as a professional boxer in his brief career, which already includes three victories against UFC veterans, including wrestling-based Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Paul is 5-0 in his professional boxing career (twice).
Dorea said, “He is performing his job correctly by ascending step by step; nevertheless, I believe that this step truly is too much for him.” “If he sees himself ready to confront Anderson, we’re training hard to face a young and powerful athlete,” she said.
“If he sees himself ready to face Anderson, she said.” However, he will definitely have a striking expert in front of him from this point on.
We have seen Jake Paul throw punches, and we can attest to the fact that he has considerable strength in his hands, but we haven’t seen him being punched. He is going to have to go up against Anderson. There will undoubtedly be examinations of him.
“We anticipate an outstanding victory for Anderson,” he went on to say. “[Paul] is now going up against a true striker, a legend in striking, and an expert in both boxing and Muay Thai.
I’ve been working with Anderson for close to twenty years, and during that time, we’ve always prepared for mixed martial arts battles; but the process is much simpler today.
He Fights Without Being Kicked or Brought Down
He already has the boxer’s stance and movement. He fights in the ring without having to worry about being kicked or taken down.
Dorea considers it to be the “new normal” in boxing to pit professional fighters against YouTubers, and she anticipates that this trend will contribute to the expansion of the sport.
Dorea has a premonition that Paul would reach his limit of popularity among the younger generation that spend time online.

Dorea said, “I always maintain that the knockout is the outcome of excellent blows,” and he stood by this assertion. “As long as Anderson continues to land solid blows, the knockout will be close at hand.
Anderson has spent his whole career competing in bouts that last five minutes each, therefore he is prepared physically for eight rounds that last three minutes each. The goal is to radiate light gradually. to make contact, do damage, and provide pressure on the opponent.
Anderson Is in Great Shape and Well-Prepared
Anderson is in outstanding condition and is very well-prepared on all fronts, including emotionally, physically, and technically. Time is on our side in this situation. I think Anderson is going to knock out his opponent.
I have no idea which round we are going to play, but that is the plan. We haven’t witnessed Jake Paul being punched yet. I feel there is a good chance that this bout will conclude with a knockout.”
After a dismal finish to his career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2020, “The Spider” will be 47 in April, but he has looked amazing in his boxing triumphs against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz.
Dorea, who claims that Silva has shown an interest in retiring at the age of 49, fantasizes about a fight between Silva and Floyd Mayweather that would go down as “historic.”
However, according to Dorea, the knockout power that Silva has might make it “impossible” for Mayweather to pick up his game.
“Anderson doesn’t fight for money anymore; adrenaline and the love of the sport are what drives him,” he stated. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen him care about money.” “He has been a resident of this earth for a good number of years now.
Finishing Line
I believe that everything is conceivable. There is no way for us to know what the future has in store for us, but we may anticipate only positive outcomes. Now, the initial objective is to compete against Jake Paul.
I guess that he will eventually square off against another legendary fighter, like Floyd Mayweather. In the same way that Mayweather doesn’t have anything left to prove, neither does Anderson. That is a wonderful possibility.
The best mixed martial artist of all time going up against the greatest boxer of all time.
