[TitleDefJusticeWarrior]

Will you please stfu you dumbass. Anytime someone can't do a good heel persona, we get a bunch of you weirdos going "LOL hE gOt yOu In tHeIr pOcKeTs".

Its a shitty heel persona and he has the mental age of a 8 year old.

 

[Just Creed]

Genius Ts, absolute genius for figuring this out...totally not pretentious in the slightest

This. I actually felt embarrassed reading the OP

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

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.

Watching and paying to watch are two completely different things

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I'm OK with a double KO

 

[BEATDOWNS]

When is this going down anyway?

 

[forsuredog]

You can do it Ben!

 

[Jackonfire]

Never heard of him.

 

[Deleted member 465145]

How could any legitimate adult consider watching or reading anything even closely related to this garbage? So embarrassing.

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......

Yeah, you use less energy when you're doing skill work you're efficient at. Do you think Ben is going to come in efficient with his energy with one boxing camp after being ko'd and a prolonged break?
Jake has had a couple camps in a row. Those build up and you work off that momentum. Ben might be the overall better mma fighter but he's not a boxer.
Just because a bunch of you older guys have some wish fulfilment that good old ben (who is actually just as annoying as Jake) , to knock out jake. Doesn't mean he's a better boxer because he was a top competitor in mma. Jake has speed and power over ben. I just don't think Ben is going to have the gas or craft like he does in his amazing wrestling to get it done and that's what I really think. I honestly hope for a double ko.

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.

If you watch Jakes only amateur fight he goes five rounds in a dog fight no problem and then forces a corner stoppage tko despite getting his nose busted in the first round. Cardio isn’t an issue for him like his brother Logan.

Jake by tko or decision depending on how gritty Askren proves to be without being able to wrestle.

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.

Not to mention that he had taken punches from better strikers with smaller gloves

Watching is one thing but paying for this garbage is another.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

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.

I honestly think that is most likely outcome

It might be Askren bought into his own boxing because of striking success stemming from the takedown threat. Even Khabib could jab up Iaquinta because how much Al was leaning forward and looking to defend takedowns.

When is this going down anyway?

April 17th

Frank mir is on the undercard.
If you can believe that

And he is likely gonna get tko'd

 

[Jose Beehive]

Went from not paying to watch this, to not paying to watch this.

 

[DivineMind]

By the way folks, it's not smart to bet on a joke fight. Too many variables to take into account.

wow you're so sophisticated, we should all strive to be more like you!

 

[Pault1989]

Any odds on Askren shooting a takedown, I'd be tempted if good enough

I'd love it tho, KO by GNP.
