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

[Hellowhosthat]

This might give you some hope. If not at least the dude is entertaining.

 

[Sweater of AV]

I wish I could help you bud, but I know next to nothing of Jack other than watching the Nate Robinson fiasco on the Tyson-RJJ card.

Hopefully Ben's healthy after the surgery and able to train hard.

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Yes, he could make a mess of it in there and just clinch and rough Jake up for a couple of rounds, tire him out

How?
Ben isn't some expert in the clinch. This is boxing. The refs not gonna allow that to happen for enough time to really do any damage or gas Jake out.

Jake Paul is not a real fighter. There!

 

[Ares Black]

I hope you're right

Lol me too.

 

[Superior]

Askren has confirmed that if Jake Paul can box, Ben’s gonna lose.

 

[Übermacht]

Artem once beat a professional boxer in BK. Askren should be fine against youtuber.

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Jake Paul is not a real fighter. There!

It's a boxing match and he's still a better boxer than Ben Askren.

 

[SakurabasEar]

If askren successfully eats his shots in the first round or two, he'll start a wear n tare strategy on paul. Paul knows this, but it takes experience to actually do something about it.

You'll see a look of pure hopelessness on his face once his stamina is fading. That look will be satisfying.

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Askren is already in his head, and Paul is shook.

Ahh I forgot about Sherscience.

He's a lot better at getting a hold of people than Jake. All it takes is a handful of times and some dirty boxing to frustrate the fuck out of Jake, take him off his game

Disclaimer: I lost an AV bet, unfortunately. Just so you know lol.

Now,
the closer this fight approaches, the less confident I am in Askren having any real chance of winning. I've heard the likes of Chael and a couple of others say that Askren will win by virtue of "being a competitor" but I don't buy that.
Yes , he's a competitor - a former competitor, who happens to not only be retired, but 36 years old, coming off of hip surgery and he's inconveniently competing in a sport he happens to be absolutely horrendous at.

So what's this competitor stuff? He's not gonna die in there? He's gonna survive eating punches until Jake gasses and then beat him up in the clinch? Idk about all that.

Look, Jake Paul is a clown and nothing would be more glorious to witness on screen than to see him get laid out cold by Ben but if we're being objective here, the kid is young, in good shape, bigger,and he's been taking the sport seriously for a couple of years now.

It's really hard to imagine anything other than Ben collecting the sorriest paycheck of his life - for getting beat up by an obnoxious Youtuber.

Please convince me otherwise Sherbros. I want to have hope!!

Yup. It’s hard to imagine how someone who can’t throw punches can win a boxing match.

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

By making it look something in between Sanchez v Kampmann and Malignaggi v Lobov.

In other words, win ugly via grit. And hope the judges like the aggressor.

 

[Ares Black]

Ahh I forgot about Sherscience.

It's very important.

 

[Abazzdeboom]

Askren can survive the flurry and hopefully take the decision.
Just hope he has a game plan.

 

[mike box]

If askren had any power he would wreck paul. I'm hoping he will plant his feet and really throw, something he never did in mma.

Doing an av bet is one of the gayest things ever, but then constantly telling people you lost an av bet makes it 10x gayer. So congrats.

 

[JKS]

It's a boxing match and he's still a better boxer than Ben Askren.

It matters. Being a pro athlete makes a difference. Conditioning, ability to absorb damage, knowing how your body reacts etc. Askren has been doing it for 20 years and over 10 as a pro fighter. And I am not even sure Jake is a better boxer, Ben sucks but so does the other guy.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

A couple of years ago jake paul got bloodied and shaken up boxing a youtuber half his size while wearing a helmet. Since then he has fought some youtuber imitating a crab and a basket ball player that got flustered and ran into a punch with his chin up.

Askren has been training and competing at the highest level for decades. Askren also has not got outwardly flustered and frustrated in competition, even after getting dropped on his head and punched by robbie lawler with 4oz gloves on.

Jake paul is not a fucking boxer and askren is already in his head haha. And how could he not be? Paul is fully aware that askren would kill him in a real fight. The kid is going to get tired, frustrated and ko'd late into the fight.
