“Greatest since Ali” – Fans have a field day on Twitter as Jake Paul defeats legendary Anderson Silva in boxing match
Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva
Jake Paul has shut the mouths of his doubters yet again with an amazing win against the legendary UFC fighter Anderson Silva. The middleweight kingpin was outboxed by the YouTube sensation.
There is no doubt that Anderson “Spider” Silva has been the Prblm Chid’s biggest challenge in his professional boxing career so far. The YouTuber turned boxer has just defeated one of the greatest fighters ever via unanimous decision. The judges scored the contest 77-74, 78-73, and 78-73.
The fight took place at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, and fighters and fans alike have brought the best reactions on Twitter. Paul’s win over 47-year-old Silva has surely upset a lot of MMA fans. If the outboxing was not enough, Paul’s knockdown in the eighth and final round sure did rub salt in the wounds of MMA enthusiasts.
Paul went on to call out another former UFC fighter, Nate Diaz, and the pound-for-pound best, Canelo Alvarez after his win against Silva. While some fight fans have come to terms with Paul actually being a decent fighter, the majority still find amusement in trolling the YouTuber for not fighting “a real opponent.”

His resume doesn’t make it better for the YouTuber either. Paul has now gone 6-0 in his professional career but has no wins against a professional boxer still. However, there is no doubt that his win against “Spider” will gain him respect among some of the fight fans. This fight had some of the most absurd and amazing reactions. Check them out.

He may have lost on points, but Anderson Silva, a 47 year old veteran in MMA, reminded Jake Paul why he'll never be ready to fight real boxers. Silva lasted the full 8 rounds and was forcing Jake to fight, he's the real winner tonight. pic.twitter.com/Y24JO0Isy0

He's got a great chin, very well conditioned, and put together some great combos #paulvssilva

Lost all respect for Jake Paul today. He beat a 47 year old and is trying to brainwash everyone. Disrespectful #paulvssilva

Can’t believe I have to like Jake Paul. Spida really gave him a run for his money til Father Time kicked in at the end rounds. Still, great fight. I was entertained…for free of course! ? #paulvssilva #showtimeboxing
