Recently ‘The Problem Child’ posted a video on his YouTube channel from when he sparred with Hasim Rahman Jr. Here is what the fans had to say about it. 

A fan wrote, “Anybody with a brain knows that Rahman wasn’t trying. I’ll admit though, Jake had some good moments.” 

“Tbh it seemed like hassim was actually helping him n giving him tips rather than having a serious spar with Jake.” 

“Only if Rahman Jr was going 100 lol. Jake’s trying like it’s an actual fight when Rahman Jr is just soft hitting and giving tips”

“Paul clearly wanted no piece of Hasim in a real match. He knows Hasim ate his best shots like candy and if the favor were returned at full power Jake would be laid out cold.”  

“The other guy doesn’t even look like he’s trying. Only using one hand as well?!? He was coaching Jake during this”  

“Hasim playing with him, he barely used his right, he’s giving him advice”
