He will gas like Gaethje did against Khabib. He was sucking air just from Khabib walking towards him.

Askren will take the best of Jake Paul and march towards him continuously. Jake will panic and his cardio will go just like that.

Askren is tough. Askren has deep cardio. Askren will break Paul mentally because he’s been there before.

How is Jake going to react when the best he has doesn’t get Askren out of there? It will be like Conor against Diaz when he realised dude ain’t going nowhere.

We dont know who any of those people are. We watch boxing here. We look at grapple guys like hot chicks do when fat girls come around.
 
He seems to be taking this fight more seriously than his UFC career.

Priorities.

certainly feels this way
I am a little gun shy to pull the trigger... but part of me wants to dump everything on Paul.


Really feels like a Tito / Chuck 3 here

askren is Chuck. Looks horrible and gets KTFO.
 
I don't know, I'm still going with Askren winning this.

It's true that Askren is not a great striker at all, but he definitely boxed way more and way longer than Paul. Not to mention that he has faced WAY better opponents than this youtuber ever has, Lawler, Lima, Koreshkov, Masvidal, Santos, Aoki, etc etc.

We gotta remember, he's not JUST a wrestler, he's been training MMA and was a two organization MMA champion.

On top of that, he's a true A level athlete, Olympian, Bellator and ONE champion, you can't get a life-long level of training, stamina, experience and strength in just a couple of years.

I'm kind of leaning towards this, also Jake Paul has only fought up to 5 rounds in all 3 fights. I can see Askren hugging him and making him swing for the fences until he tires himself out and Ben takes over.

Ben's going to try and clinch and then gas and get ko'd.
Nice try ben and his 4 sherdog accounts.

Jake paul is the best fighter rn.

Ben is going to gas? He has one of the best gas tanks in all of fighting but Jake Paul who is not a professional fighter has a better gas tank? OK......

I think the clinch hugging is where Askren will put some squeeze and weigh down on Paul. Might even fling him around a bit to tire him out.

It's boxing and it's a boxing promotion. Triller match this event up to try and highlight boxing > mma. Clinching isn't allowed and will be separated quick. I can see Askren running into an over hand by constantly trying to clinch. Jake Paul likes to throw it when people try to rush and clinch him. Askren doesn't have the head movement to avoid it, his head is always in center line with his chin up.

Jake Paul hits harder, has faster hands, and better combinations/timing. Jake Paul has proven he has one punch KO power with his hands, Askren has never showed the ability to do that. Biggest question is going to be Jake Paul handling the adrenaline dump and his conditioning since his fights have all been short. He seems to handle aggressive fighters running towards him very well. So if that's Askren's game plan to run into a clinch, it may not work out for him. If he tries to outbox Jake Paul I think the difference in boxing skill is going to be made obvious as the rounds progress. He's not going to be able to read all the strikes/combinations and start getting tagged, and that will eventually lead to a TKO/KO. His head never moves when he strikes and moves forward, it's not going to be a hard target to hit.

I do hope he can find a way to win though. Because him losing to Jake Paul is what the boxing community wants so they can shit on mma. Same reason why they just got the fight with Anderson Silva vs Chavez Jr. The boxers are targeting mma fighters for wins.

I'm a fan of both mma and boxing, but I do understand their match making. These are all in favor of the boxers.

You must be delusional to think this is a legit fight.

Jake gave Ben the red panty night to take a dive.
 
Ben is not a bum fighter. I’ve no doubt he would’ve succeeded in UFC if he came there earlier before he had hip problems. Unfortunate how his UFC run went, but he’s had an incredible career.

I really don't understand people saying he has one punch knock out power.

The blokes he's fought have really limited experience, as in - don't know how to be on the recieving end without being unduly wobbled. They're amateurs having their first fights, and respect for that.

Look Logan's little brother looks good for how long he's been training, but he's hardly faced any kind of stiff competition.
 
The only time any of my money will line any of Paul's pockets is if he gets into a sledgehammer fight with Tucker Carlson. Short of that, I'll be rooting from a distance for Askren to forego the rules, tackle Paul, choke him out, and walk away.

I might see this fight and I'm not ashamed to admit it. At the same time, I can agree with anyone that says it's a sham.

Hell, I'd watch two hobos fight over a sandwich so it's really not saying much that I'd watch this garbage, lol.

Pretty much yup
