News Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Confirmed

[FlowchartRog]

Even though Askren has become the butt of jokes on Sherdog, I do hope Ben knocks this tool out

Jake Paul is lucky that there's no spinning backfist in boxing. Nate Robinson don't have this level of striking

He really is pulling a Paulie here, in risking his sport's rep fighting some random scrub.

It's nuts in retrospect that some people thought Chandler would be another Askren.

In one way I can't blame them as we're talking about someone who to Brooks

But yeah, look at the difference.

Damn jake about to ko an actual fighter

 

[Guffman]

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

Ohio is a top five HS wrestling state. Might be second after Pennsylvania Legit for sure.

 

[Iron Skin]

Askren will get KOed again

 

[JDS Klit]

For the guys who keep saying Ben should shoot and there are no consequences...since it’s a pro fight he’d be disqualified and at best have most of his purse withheld.

 

[TJ177]

Jake wrestled all his life also him and his brother were state champs if I remember correctly

Definitely not state champs in Ohio. Maybe on Youtube.

 

[SowingSeason]

Lololol ben’s striking is sooooo bad. This is going to be embarrassing.

 

[Tapatio]

Why hasn't this shit been moved yet?

 

[wwkirk]

I've never seen Ben strike with any power. Can he even hurt Jake?

 

[Doughie99]

Gotta say.... this is a very strange event indeed, a career Wrestler with no known striking ability vs Jake Paul?

If this happens, then I'd say almost certainly Ben is gonna get beaten up, probably 1st or 2nd Round.

They must have offered Askren a LARGE amount of money.

 

[j18lee]

Askren can't box, but he is tough and he has cardio. It may make him a glutton for punishment but it will be entertaining. Askren may get rocked and go into panic wrestle body slam mode.

Askren SUB round 2.
Followed by Paul DQ win over Askren.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

I don’t see how Ben wins this

 

[dangerousD]

Genius move by Jake Paul.

Gets to knock out a guy with zero boxing skills and hype it as beating a former MMA champ and UFC vet.

 

[cungfu]

I pray that Ben pulls a win off for the sake of MMA.

 

[Iron Skin]

Prime Askren's striking was already bad, now he is old, retired and had huge hip surgery recently.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Jake is a legit amateur boxer and as much as you hate him, I predict he beats the shit out of Askren.

 

[Iron Skin]

The only way Askren can win is with a Homer Simpson strategy

 

[JustBleed69]

Ben about to get embarrassed and meme’d to death again, man really has no shame.

At least he’ll secure a nice pay day.

I mean, at this point I hope Jake wind just because of how absolutely fucking stupid Ben is for even entertaining this "fight".
Can't wait for the memes.

 

[pick999]

How do these fights get approved?

 

[Joseph Rica]

Are you serious? Ben has the worst boxing i have ever seen in MMA. This is going to be embarrassing for the sport of MMA.
