Austin McBroom suggests Jake Paul hasn't been tested inside the ring
Austin McBroom believes that Jake Paul hasn't truly been tested inside the ring just yet. 'The Problem Child' is 5-0 in his boxing career so far and has four knockouts on his resume as well. However, the creator of 'The Ace Family' doesn't seem to be impressed with Paul's feat.
During an interview with TMZ, McBroom spoke about Jake Paul's opponents thus far and suggested that 'The Problem Child' hasn't performed to the best of his ability so far. He said:
“It’s interesting because I feel like we haven’t really seen Jake Paul perform his best, you know. His opponents, I feel like haven’t been much of a match for him for whatever reason, but hopefully we will see it some time soon. We will see how he does.”
Watch the interview below:
While Austin McBroom might be somewhat correct with his assessment of Jake Paul's boxing career so far, it is worth noting that 'The Problem Child' is set to take on Anderson Silva in his next fight. The MMA legend will most certainly prove to be the toughest challenge Paul has taken on thus far, even though he's significantly older than Paul.
That said, it remains to be seen as to whether or not Jake Paul can build upon his resume when he takes on Anderson Silva later this year in October.
