Three Potential Ways Mike Perry Can Defeat Jake Paul

Close the Distance

Paul has a big reach advantage over Perry, meaning the BKFC star needs to find a way inside of Paul, and this is what he is good at. Perry is adept at moving forward and getting into range before unloading.

He’s shown during his bare-knuckle journey that he possesses plenty of power to make “The Problem Child” think, so if he can get inside and let his hands go, we could be in for an interesting fight.

Apply Pressure

Perry must get in Paul’s face early in the fight and make him uncomfortable. He needs to keep the pressure high and close the distance.

Paul is not used to being pressured and is used to dictating the fight, so if the BFC star can close the distance and rough Paul up in the clinch and work his body, it will be fascinating to see how “The Problem Child” deals with that.

Take Paul Into Deep Waters

Closing the distance and applying pressure are two vital components for Perry to upset Paul. The BKFC star also needs to take Paul into deep waters.

Perry will take the Cleveland native into deep waters by not backing down and taking Paul’s shots and by firing back and working his opponent’s body, and the power of Perry will help break Paul down as the fight goes on.
