On the flip side, the ‘Problem Child’ has faced non-fighters until now. And this will be the first time he will confront a veteran from the combat sports world. Paul (2-0) definitely has the advantage for obvious reasons, but the boxing debutant’s experience in combat might help him stun his more experienced boxing foe.

Who do you think will have his hand raised in the center of the ring on April 17? Will the former MMA champion make a winning squared circle bow, or will Paul go 3-0?
