Why is Asken doing thissss?? In a real fight asken smokes him but in boxing i just see this as Ben's to lose. But challebge by boxing an mma'er least known for his standup. Please ben somehow win this.
 
A fighter with HORRIBLE boxing, versus a celebrity with i guess, just as bad boxing skills? The youtuber might take this on pure athleticism, lol.

Yes, of course I have.

But striking against elite MMA competition is different from competing against a Youtuber.

Ben doesn't need to be a proficient striker to win this fight. He needs to be tougher (check), grittier (check), a better athlete (check) and more experienced in combat (check).

Paul has beaten a Youtuber and a fucking basketball player. Askren has been in the ring with fucking killers, didn't get knocked out by most of them and we're acting like this is a mismatch?

Come on, Sherdog.

How do you know he's tougher or grittier? Has jake ever quit in a fight? Ben askrens technique looks horrible. He is stuck in the mud.

I'm not a fan of jake paul, I am just looking at this objectively
 
Just an awful pix of askren to use for the promo.

He looks old and his fro is all flat..makes me totally disinterested

I don't know that 100%

What I do know is what it takes to qualify for the Olympics in wrestling and how few people on the planet possess that.

Ben is one of the few.

I can ask you a similar question... How do you know Jake Paul can box? He's not fought another professional in combat, ever. I can look great at hockey when I'm playing the guys down the street. Put me on the ice with the Bruins and it's a joke.

Until Jake does something besides knock out amateurs, I'll go with the professional.
 
So Ben is a retired prizefighter who gets an offer to box in 10oz gloves for the most money of any fight in his career.. What is he suppose to do?
I picked Ben cause i have no idea of the other guy. Hopefully he can clinch and dirty box.. Hopefully use some tricks of a career of fighting. Maybe a head butt or two
 
jesus christ they couldve put in the lowest ranked flyweight and itd be more competitive than this.

so bad.
 
lmao, out of everyone of course this fool fights the guy with possibly the WORST striking in the UFC

Paul is bigger, younger, in better shape and does not have a bad hip. His boxing looked pretty bad, but he throws with more power than Ben.

What a terrible fight, whats the selling point here?. Ben has absolutely no business in a boxing match vs anyone. Jake gets no ratings for this.

Pretty much to try to get Paul to 2-0 against a name so he can fight another weird ass fight for mo money. Maybe a good 125 pound boxer or something.
 
I seriously believe Ben gets finished. I hope he wins though.
 
Lol askren making me hope he gets koed by paul. Makes me hate askren even more now. Gonna be funny seeing youtuber knocks out ufc fighter headlines
 
I don't like Paul, but Ben Askrens Boxing is just that Damn Bad.
 
Askren has nothing left to lose in terms of embarassment. And thats an advantage. If paul loses he lost to the one of the worst mma strikers in just striking. Thats kind of embarrassing
