Cyborg is much, much smaller and lighter than Jake Paul. That shit matters in combat sports.
I'm completely ignorant on Nunes' fighting style, but yeah it's basically the weight advantage and the fact that's it's a boxing match that leads me to believe that Paul may have a chance. But if Nunes is a decent boxer, then I could see Paul getting wrecked.
as Great of a fighter Nunes is, I don't think she has the power to knock out someone with those size advantages. Weight classes exist for a reason. And as much of an assclown as Jake Paul is, he seems to be fairly serious about this boxing thing, don't get me wrong I think he'd get destroyed by a legit boxer closer to his size, but likely not by a woman who is giving up 4-5 inches and 40-50 lbs.
You have a solid point here with the height and weight advantage. I still think Nunez will outclass Paul in striking here, and if they are going by MMA rules, she will be able to kick his legs to wear him down. Not to mention take downs. Unless Paul have been training MMA, I don't think he will be able to handle Nunez at all.
Nunes is a professional kickboxer / boxer / wrestler isn't she? Plus she spars with men.
Plus she's a professional fighter. Holy holmes would also knock out Jake paul. That's like saying if either hit him đź’Ż in the stomach he'd laugh and walk away. A jaw is a jaw. Not like the weight goes to padding it.

Im 6'1 and 220 lbs. I have 0 doubts that Amanda nunes would knock me out if I fought her with some training under my belt.
Meant to add this to my post not reply to myself.
See she has me shook just thinking about it!
Paul would get wrecked by any boxer not even ranked in the top 10 of his division.
He's be rated the same as he is now by anyone with half a brain, because this match would have endless asterisks tacked on.

I don't mean as a fighter, the reaction to a man beating up a woman in a professional fight. People have a hard enough time as is with intergender wrestling, what would the optics of an intergender fight be?
The "women must be protected at all costs" people would look down on him for hitting a woman.
The combat sports fans would look down on him for beating a non-boxer who he outweighs by probably 60 lbs.
His fanbase and the women-haters of the world would cum in their pants.
As much of a shmuck Jake Paul is, Nunes would get bodied. I'm also not sure if Conor would be able to get the finish everyone is assuming he'll get. MMA fighters' boxing is very mediocre compared to legit pros (Even though Paul is shit). The size advantage will make a legit impact. Mark Hunt vs Galen is what can happen if you fight in the wrong sport. Best to stay away from this clown show.
Nunes is a great fighter, one of the 3 best ladies to ever fight in MMA probably, but honestly Jake Paul is probably too much for her physically. He'd probably TKO her. She'd beat an untrained man... but he's been boxing two years now. Too big of a gulf between them in size and strength.
Let him fight McGregor instead.

Jake would probably knock Amanda the fuck out to be honest..
She should not put herself in such a position.

All of these internet celebrities can punch each other for money all they want as far as I'm concerned. I just find it depressing that I know who Jake Paul even is, and that it seems like it's a race to wealth to be the least interesting, least intelligent, least funny, least witty, or least talented person these days. Are you a funny scholar trying their best to inform the public and help humanity? Congratulations, you get to compete with 5,000 other extremely bright and well-meaning people for the handful of jobs left out there that can afford you that.
Are you a huge piece of boring shit with nothing interesting to say but can arrest the attention of ten million 12 year olds on YouTube? Congrats, here's millions of dollars and the attention of every talkshow host and media outlet out there. Stride forth and knock humanity and civilization down a few more pegs - have fun!

Jake's not gonna fuck up the Mayweather double feature after his brother gets beaten. Don't see him chasing this (and he'd probably destroy her)

This is where I started to doubt people's sanity regarding the Rousey stanning.
Do know what's Amanda's suggesting her fight weight for this hypothetical match? 145? 155? Even if she doesn't cut down beyond her old walking weight of 160ish, that's still nearly 30 lbs below what Paul weighed in at vs Nate Robinson.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in UFC terms this is a Bantamweight vs a Light Heavy at worse and Welterweight vs a Light Heavy at best. The only good thing I can say is - at least Paul doesn't have the height of a Jon Jones to go with that weight advantage.
Reminds me of when Regina Halmich went against Stafan Raab (German moderator, bigger and heavier than her), whom she bodied twice. Then again this Jake clown apparently trained a bit, so that might complicate matters.
that was also an actual boxer vs a middle aged schlubby tv host, not a 23 year old in his physical prime who has been training in actual boxing for 2-3 years.
So i pretty much hate Jake Paul but he has trained for 3 years and from all accounts is getting the best coaching money can buy. He has knocked out multiple youtubers and 1 NBA athlete.
Like not saying his pro but he is actually pretty decent at boxing, add to the fact its a boxing match not a MMA match he could win on points alone.

Nunes takes feet to the head. Which if we're doing like pressure per square inch... Its not exactly like shes a frail woman. I doubt any of us could take a 100% force punch from Amanda nunes to the chin.
She fights professionally. That has the advantage, i'd put money on nunes for this. As, all he has is weight(?) which some how comes into effect anywhere outside of leaning his weight on her. To where we'd all see he clearly isn't just going to walk to the ring, 1 punch a professional athlete, then go home.
I genuinely think he would win on points no knock out. MMA is so different to boxing. MMA fight she would batter him boxing i think Jake wins
size/weight comes into play in terms of how much power a person can absorb from their opponent too. Amanda has power when she is punching other women of a similar size/weight, and with much smaller gloves.
Boxing might be a little overkill in terms of weight classes, but they exist for a reason. He's also got an enormous height/reach advantage. Without the threat of a takedown, Nunes doesn't have a whole lot going for her in this matchup.
there are no rules to play by because this isn't going to actually happen, but the hypothetical is a boxing match because Amanda specifically challenged Paul to a boxing match.
edit: to clarify, it seems more like Dana White challenged Paul to a boxing match on Amanda": behalf.

I'm dying at that image. The moment she met a a pretty good boxer/kickboxer she got worked. Then came back and got worked again by an expert striker (Nunes).Jake's not gonna fuck up the Mayweather double feature after his brother gets beaten.
