News Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Confirmed

[VVarhead]

Why Askren? Why boxing? What the fuck? Askren can't box?

He's Ben Askren for trouble since he entered the UFC.

Askren can start a GoFundMe to reimburse him if this happens. I think it has a good chance of being well funded.

And GoFundMe can take it down. I don't think it's a realistic scenario.

Jake and his bro are state wrestling champs

No they arent.

 

[MartinGibson86]

Yeah high school wrestling is actually super intense and competitive.

Especially in Ohio.

Hope Ben dirty box's his ass off

 

[machidafan99]

Askren bloodied Maia with striking first two rounds.

 

[kingJohn]

I was shocked when i saw it while experience boredom?

Why else are you in here?

Because I'm interested in the fight, I don't post in threads about fights I "don't give a shit about."

 

[ineverpost]

Thi sis the fight we've waited for since UFC 1

I actually don't know if I'm even gonna make the effort to stream this.

I didn't even stream or watch jones vs tyson. No way in hell I watch this

 

[USA!USA!]

Thoughts:

Askren is a better opponent than Nate Robinson. He is at least familiar with the fight game and has been punched before.

Askren is less athletic, slower, has not shown any power punching or even great technique.

Unless Askren shows us something we have never seen before, or if he is training SERIOUSLY for this and not just looking for a payday, I think that Paul is going to win rather easily IF he doesn't gas.

 

[ReyesWon]

He's his own promoter.

He sells his own tickets.

He's a YouTuber making millions boxing and now he's actually suckered a former UFC fighter into his realm.

Just turned 24 and he's a brilliant businessman.

The hatred he gets is helpful, just as it is for Conor. Apathy destroys prize fighting.

I really can't even hate on this youngster getting the bag.

 

[Iron Nick]

The bar you're setting for what is a genius is a bit low, dont you think?

I'll give you that he's clever though.

That being said, he's a full kit w*nker.

Any idiot can make money... Takes a smart man to keep it.

If he's still balling at 30 having now Fyre Festivaled his money away on some scam then fair play.

 

[ReyesWon]

Making lots of money doesn't make him any less of a douchebag

Being a douchebag is what made him rich.

You still don't get it.

The way you feel about him is exactly his goal.

Of course I hope Ben beats him, but I still have to respect his business acumen.

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

Askren is the genius. No one really thinks he can win so if he looks somewhat decent and/or wins his clout goes way up to the casuals and they will want to see him fight again. If he loses it doesn’t matter he’s a retired wrestler.

 

[ReyesWon]

Wise man say "Any idiot can make money... Takes a smart man to keep it".

Kenny Florian.

Considering I can't make it or keep it, I've got no choice but to respect his hustle.
