Former professional mixed martial artist Michael Bisping recently criticized Jake Paul, labeling him an 'embarrassment' to boxing for not facing 'real boxers.' Bisping's comments came after Paul's victory over Mike Perry, a current BKFC and former UFC fighter, where Paul secured a TKO win in the sixth round, bringing his boxing record to 10-1.
In a YouTube video reacting to the fight, Bisping expressed his support for Perry but highlighted concerns about the size and weight disparity between the two fighters. He argued that Paul tends to select opponents who are smaller and less experienced, creating an unfair advantage for himself.
Bisping emphasized the importance of weight classes in combat sports, noting that Paul's size advantage over Perry made the fight unbalanced. He criticized the matchup as a 's***show' that should never have taken place due to the significant weight difference.
During the weigh-in, Paul initially missed weight but eventually made the cut at 200lbs, 3.4lbs heavier than Perry. Bisping further criticized Paul's performance in the ring, describing it as lacking in technique and characterized by wild, reckless movements.
Overall, Bisping's assessment of the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Perry was one of disappointment, citing concerns about fairness, technical skill, and the overall quality of the matchup. His comments reflect a broader sentiment within the fight community regarding Paul's choice of opponents and his approach to boxing.
