the professional fighter or the retard who never fought against a professional?

listen to Dana White, bet on Ben he will win.

  • will be adult vs child Askren will Kill The amateur.
Dana is a promoter. Obviously he won’t admit Jake has any chance because it makes the sport look bad.

you can bet behind closed doors he took Zab Judah at his word that the kid has hands / Dan fight.
 
Lol he will lose badly. Askren cant box. Simple as that. Every talented athlete with 2-3 years of amateur boxing would smoke him. Jake Paul is an athletic guy in his prime, who has trained somewhat like a pro. He is gonna smoke Askren. Some people just cant do certain movements. Askren cant punch and box. He will never be able to.
Paul is a 1/10 boxer a young amateur lion would kill him.

there's a reason he prefers to fight with failed basketball players, not real amateur boxers.
 
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.
Askren never had to rely on his striking only. Different conditioning. Askren is also highly likely to start gassing in the stand up. Gloves are heavier in boxing and he was already gassing in a stand up mostly fight with 4oz gloves vs Maia. It wasn't a very high pace or high volume striking match and he was already gassing. People confuse the difference with conditioning in terms of grappling vs striking, especially with boxing pacing/volume/intensity/timing.
 
Flaming hot or original?
acts like twitch nerd, spews low iq, immature shit

Spams Cheeto fingers, calls everyone virgins.

projection at its finest. Almost always the kids who’ve never been in a gym in their lives as well lol

Ah, well. Britain is in hard times. I’ll leave it be.
 
This made for an odd thread with many people saying of course askren wins he’s a fighter. Ben has absolutely miserable stand up. And I mean miserable. I mean I guess he could win but it won’t be because he’s a better boxer. It will just be because he’s faced way more adversity than Paul and has a track record of overcoming that adversity. So I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Askren gets beat but it’s a boxing match and the man can’t strike. He doesn’t even have decent mma striking.

Looks like you need to get down the gym and burn some of that pent up energy. A nice bit of no gi would do nicely, I'm sure :)
 
Anyone who actually cares about this fight can’t even be convinced that the earth is round. Picking up smoking would be a better use of money
 
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!!
I’ve been doing prayers via rosemary beads for 3 months in preparation for this fight. I’m thinking of going to find the dead Japanese man and asking him for his support in defeating the Paul brothers, JAN style. I hope it’s enough because Ben can’t box

He's not, his hip is destroyed. He'll move like a 90 year old and will get KTFO.

I think that's the method people on here are arguing for Ben on. I think Jake embarrasses him. Ben is a garbage striker.
 
Professional fighter vs. Social media star.


Why is this so difficult?
 
Askren has been brought in by Paul’s camp to be a walk through basically.

High probability that’s exactly what happens. Aside from what we’ve seen on camera so far, I think he has genuine natural talent and potential. Especially training with some of the best in the sport, the improvement we’re likely to see since he last fought will be dramatic.

Only real chance I see Askren having here is taking the fight into deeper waters where his experience and toughness begin to play a factor.

Even then, I think it’s very slim. With a proper team and training partners around him, hard to imagine many scenarios where they don’t prepare / drill against everything someone like Askren has to offer.

there is no bigger advantage in a face punching competition when your 25 and first got punched in the face at 23. And nobody has ever put it on you as there is a way out.

and you can’t prepare a very rich kid against that unless you just beat his ass repeatedly for many rounds and during the point of exhaustion.

he has men cheerleading and staging cheers. It’s a show. He’s good at it. He took Ben because he watched a compilation of YouTube striking.

there has never been a human who got into fighting at 23 and has the sage and talent to overcome anything in the fighting world. Especially a millionaire who made millions of pretending false reality to kids online. And shaping opinions.

shit. I’m going or askren and I’m an old chunk of coal. But I wouldn’t mind seeing Paul win. I would like to see how far he can take his schtick.

I watch fights for entertainment. I don’t pledge allegiance.
So for the best outcome of my entertainment. Would be if Paul won.

it’s hard to explain. But I’m not emotionally invested in anyone I don’t know personally. So. I’ll root for Ben. But if Jake wins it would be better for my future entertainment as he’s a dipshit but I don’t mind dipshits in these side show fights.

many prize fighter it’s not about moral character it’s about who is the funnest to watch in the ring or cage to me.

i can’t edit my post. But Paul’s camp is yes men. And an ok boxer who has never trained anyone who is just in it for money

Ben appears to be the weakest puncher on paper with a name so that’s why this fight is happening. This is about 8 feet up from that you tube kid and a basketball player. Which keep in mind have never been punched in the face.

I dont know what you mean by young amateur lion. a guy that had 70 amateur bouts and is a promising prosepct that will turn pro? Or some random dude from a boxing gym that has a couple of amateur fights a year. If its the second one, i wouldnt be so sure.
