Another user suggested that Logan Paul should start off the fight by delivering punishing blows to Danis’ body.
😂 them body shots looking good. I’m hoping his game plan is to punish the fuck out of Dillon’s body the first half of the fight and then go for the kill the second half

A user argued that if only folks who knew boxing were allowed to have opinions on how a fighter trains or fights, then boxing arenas would remain almost empty on fight nights.
Do you give your opinion on politics, tennis, formula 1, the economy, and thousands of other topics without knowing anything about them or practicing them?
If it was upto people that “know boxing” to grow the sport there would be 50 people in the stands all with free tickets

One fan was struck with a very interesting question. Come fight night, will Paul approach the Danis fight strategically, or will be an all-out brawl?
Do you think Logan’s going to box or fight Danis? Personally, I’d think he’ll try to box Dillon at first but he’ll end up brawling since he knows he can finish him.

What are boxing fans if not analytical? Another user acknowledged the work Maverick had put in. While guessing the gym details that the fighter was training in, the fan elaborated that Maverick is showing good progress.
I think he looks really good technically for his experience and I’m sure that’s jamie moored vip gym in Manchester he’s at as well
