April 17 Triller: Ben Askren vs Logan Paul (Mega)

[DespicablePeep]

Askren is a proven winner and a professional combat athlete. He will not get tired.

Paul will gas himself out and get frustrated. Askren is already in his head, and Paul is shook.

Hope this is true, but a punch to the face will fu you pretty fast.

 

[TimeisNOW]

Jake is going to destroy ben and the betting line is delightful. I know I could beat ben in a boxing fight so no reason someone who is actually training couldn't. Some people can not throw a punch, ben askren is one of those people. No amount of training is going to change the anatomy of his body.

 

[Ares Black]

Well luckily they will have pillows on their hands. Boxing gloves are actually great for defending your face.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

TS, you are asking the worst people you could possibly ask. These same people think any NBA/NFL "A" level athlete would be UFC champ with 6 months training.

 

[SolarSeiko]

Thanks for the advice, buddy

Lol i love this. I often tell sherdoggers to lick their cheetos encrusted fingers

Those thinking Ben will win are kidding themselves. This isn’t MMA how long do you realistically think the clinch will be held for? Do you honestly believe that Ben won’t be eating body shots and headshots on the way in?

Jake isn’t Ali but he has pretty decent boxing mechanics and has shown to be able to KO someone in boxing, granted he KO’d a basketball player but he’s shown the ability to knock out another athlete. Ben hasn’t KO’d anyone in the sport he competed in, he doesn’t have the boxing mechanics, basics neither will he.

Do you honestly think that a young, in shape fighter despite only having two bouts, who’s trained for a good few years won’t be in shape? This isn’t wrestling where Bens body is used to it. Just because someone is an alt here in another sport doesn’t mean you won’t get tired, bens going to be nervous, feel the pressure of getting beat by a “YouTuber” in a sport he’s not thought in, all variables to his energy and cardio. Even a marathon runner wood gas in a different if it’s something the body isn’t used to. People on here are going to be on for a shock assuming just because Ben fought in MMA and wrestling he’s going to win...

Bro you actually think Jake's punches are going to hurt Ben? Jake will gas after a round or 2 and the real athlete will take over.

Not even Jake thinks he's going to win anymore, dude has 0 confidence as proven in the press conference

I don’t think you’re wrong, but I believe both guys are gonna do better than people think, Jake is no slouch, but most likely will gas. Ben won’t tire, but his punches aren’t effective, he uses them strictly to set up takedowns. That being said I would not be surprised if Ben pulls off a decision win somehow.

Imagine it turns out to be a barnburner??

 

[MarleyLynx]

I'd assume Jake is bigger, faster, stronger with better technique and boxing overall.

Ben Askren has basically no ability to win with pillow fists against a larger man and poor boxing.
You're pretty justified in doubting.
If I were to bet i'd pick Jake.

I can only see Askren winning by never getting KO'd and using a lot of clinching and stalling that he overly uses against the rules and refs until Jake is so tired he starts losing close rounds that are more brawling than boxing.

 

[Sweater of AV]

I can assure you that, in terms of functional strength, Jack Paul is nowhere near Askren.

 

[Pierced7681]

Actually Bernard Hopkins got into pro fighting in his late 20s after prison but he was a phenomenal fighter and one off and it’s def not the norm .

Hopkins must have had some kind of street fighting background.

Jake Paul has 0 wins against professional fighters, it surprises me that someone bets on that loser.

 

[MarleyLynx]

Askrens got that grappler strength yes... but if you had them do olympic lifts against one another i'd think Jake would do well.

 

[lagofala]

Say what you want about the fight but the a fight that sells poses the most intriguing questions. The hook is interesting.

Can a young celebrity boxer beat an grizzled combat sports vet with rudimentary striking?

 

[Sweater of AV]

Maybe but it's pretty much irrelevant when analyzing the fight. Also if Jack is carrying around unnecessary weight because he likes to do olympic lifts then that's not working in his favor the longer the fight goes.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

How many rounds is this?

 

[r-harper-1]

I feel Paul wins easily

I mean I'd assume he has more boxing cardio than Askren, not that i'd think Askrens gonna gas. They're not fighting MMA ya know? Speed, Explosion, Compound movements all translate well into boxing (as well as wrestling). Askrens got that grab you and you're his bitch strength but the windows of opportunity for grabbing are miniscule. If askren wins he's definitely wearing Jake down but he's not boxing him. He's annoying the ref until Jake gets tired af and hopefully drags him into a brawl.

 

[djason1988]

He could easily just constantly bully into the clinch and wear on Jake, ala Fury/Wilder. Askren can't throw a punch to save his life, but he does know defense, footwork, and timing. He would have never survived in mma otherwise. Jake is a youtuber. I can't see him having the will to push through if he realizes he's really in a fight.
