The 5-0 boxer has made it official that he is going to test himself against one of the greatest combat sports fighters of all time, Anderson Silva. This has created a buzz. Meanwhile, the Boxing world has begun predicting the verdict of the fight.

“I think it’s gonna be Jake’s best opponent, but I think Jake’s a little younger. He’ll be in better shape. He’s working a little harder. I feel like because he wants it a little more. You know I’m saying Silva kind of been there, so I think. I’ll take Jake on a slight edge over what I’m saying by a decision, ” Bell said.

He continued, “I don’t think he’s gonna go in there and knock him out. I don’t think Silva’s getting knocked out for sure, but he’d probably outbox him and then he’ll probably win the fight.”
