Logan Paul and Jake Paul have certainly made a mark in the boxing world with their bouts. While, Logan has transitioned into WWE, former UFC Middleweight fighter Sam Alvey says Jake Paul refused to box him after seeing him go a couple of rounds with Logan Paul.
Sam Alvey takes a shot at Jake Paul
The recently cut Alvey is currently without a promotion. On a losing streak of eight before finally receiving his marching orders, Sam Alvey was one of the promotion’s longest-tenured fighters.
To have maintained his seemingly untenable position for what was a baffling amount of time, it can be assumed he is a favorite of the UFC brass. Taking time off to bulk up and recover, he recalled boxing Logan Paul in an interview with Talkin’ MMA.
When asked about Jake Paul and his brother Logan, Alvey was uninspired by the pair, and after he knocked around Logan sparring, Jake wanted no part of it:
“No, they’re garbage. Very athletic, at least Logan. I didn’t get to spar with Jake Paul. And you can tell they both used to be high school wrestling champions or state champions, I think. Like, you can see Logan Paul in the WWE, very athletic.”
Jake Paul was, according to Alvey, unwilling to spar after seeing him deal with Logan so easily:
“Logan seemed like a nice guy. Jake Paul didn’t want to spar with me after he saw me with Logan. I was being super nice to him. I mean I was the experienced guy, he was the YouTube guy.”
Giving an assessment overall, Sam Alvey continued:
“They didn’t get tired, at least while we were training. They were throwing with a lot of oomph and all that. But there was no footwork, there was no real strategy behind it. That was a long time ago also. This was five or six years ago, so I’m sure they have gotten better since then. But at the time, it was easy work for me.”
