News Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Confirmed

[Lavitz]

Yeah high school wrestling is actually super intense and competitive.

Placing in Ohio is impressive. Logan was legit. Probably could have improved more if he wanted to.

 

[PulsingJones]

you gotta be kidding me...

Ben please don't lose to this douche

 

[MichaelT]

I don't know if Ben actually has the power to knock out a grown adult male, especially in boxing gloves

 

[Arcticman]

Fuck this jake paul wanker.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Damn Jake Paul about to beat a formerly top ranked MMA fighter

 

[Volador]

This will be hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if battle worn, post-hip-surgery Ben gets flattened or loses a decision. I'd put my money on this Paul dude, to be honest. This should set up an mma rematch, which would be even funnier.

 

[Bubzeh]

Ben about to embarrass us all and Jake's using this as a stepping stone to end up fighting Conor.

CBA.

Anyone got the betting odds? Will be lumping big money on Jake. And by big money I mean 10-12 dollars.

 

[Fight Professor]

Askren is about to embarass himself again. I hope he gets paid. How do people still believe his hype (outside pure wrestling and C-level orgs)?

 

[SmurfyD]

If it werea mma match then no question I'd put my money on Ben but boxing, I have a feeling Jake is going to take this unless he gasses since I'm going to assume Ben has better cardio. Did they say how many rounds this was going to be?

 

[squatchi26]

Jake is pretty smart to book this fight. its an easy win and he will continue to clown and get bigger and bigger fights.

 

[Mesos]

If Ben humps this Buffon in the clinch, he can tire him out and capitalize in the later rounds.

This is the type of stuff people don’t realize. Ben can and will slow this fight down and drag it out. Even with Bens basic striking I think he will give Jake alot of trouble. As saying goes theres levels to this shit

 

[Volador]

Ben Askren is actually an athlete.

Bro, what makes you so confident in Askren here? He's been KO'd in the most brutal way, took a lot of damage vs Lawler too, and he's dealing with a lifetime of wrestling injuries, hip surgery, and he's past his athletic prime. This other dude is young, athletic and has been training pure boxing for a bit. Ben's a complete fish out of water in the striking dept. Maybe if he clinches a lot like Fury vs Wilder, I don't know. Paul is a douche, but I'm seeing him as a favorite here, as hilarious as that is.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Jake Paul fans are huge fucking losers.

Jake Paul has fans?

Askren has light years more competitive experience.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Askren's chances lie in having an unbelievable chin and the clinch game I think. I doubt he'll be worried about Paul's power and it's not like he's going to try and box him from range. If he gets into phone booth range there's a chance he doesn't look like a tit.

 

[Dana's Plight]

Askren should go for a take down and ground and pound. Fuck it. The internet would go crazy.

 

[Kos Fan]

Ben could honestly be the worst striker in modern day 170 pound history. Hopefully he wins but if Paul has any skill, he should win.

 

[milliniar]

I want Ben to win for the LOLs.

But jake should win easy.

 

[piropiro]

Ben is an actual fighter who has gone to war with far scarier strikers than Jake Paul ... Lawler for example threw everything at him including a slam ... and Ben held on, survived and prevailed.

I’m not so sure Jake Paul with boxing gloves will be so powerful and dangerous in comparison ... Ben with basic defence could walk through whatever is coming without much of a worry, clinch, make it dirty and tiring, win.

There is a big difference in resilience and willingness to dig deep between a real professional fighter and some glorified hobbyist ... and we have nothing to indicate Jake is anything more than that.

Jake was tough against a basketball player and seems sharp on the pads. Let’s see how he reacts if he gets punched in the face by someone walking through his best shots.

Ben has a definite chance.

sounds dumb... lol
