With that mentioned, that doesn’t imply he hasn’t been coaching day by day to work on his abilities. And whereas he admits that he doesn’t look the smoothest in his coaching movies, Paul stays assured in what he’ll be capable of do come Sunday night time.

“I can discuss my abilities all day nevertheless it doesn’t matter. I can hit pads and look mediocre however till I’m within the ring, till I’m preventing, till I’m sparring – folks don’t understand that I truly received good within the sport. Individuals are going to be stunned.”
