“I’m not worried about Mike Tyson, Jake Paul cannot fight.None of his knockouts are legitimate,”Froch toldLord Ping.
“His knockouts were against opponents who didn’t know what they were doing. He’s f****** useless; his technique, style, balance, offence, defence, the way he sets up his punches – he cannot fight.
“Mike is going to be absolutely fine. I think Wilder saying Mike is at risk of a coma is over exaggerated,Wilderis getting carried away and giving Jake more credit than he’s worth. I even give Mike a chance of winning, but Jake’s youth will defeat father time.
