Topic: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 - page 12. (Read 2969 times)
Ben Askren is known as a crypto supporter so many people in this forum might already be familiar with him from that. This fight seems like a joke. It is another freak show celebrity fight. Jake Paul is not the best boxer but he does have power and could do some serious damage on Askren. Jake should have enough boxing experience to win this fight.
What is happening to the world of sports now? why do we have a lot of clown who try to ruined the reputation of the sport?
A youtuber fighting an ex MMA fighter, I don't like what I'm seeing anymore, sorry, but I feel like they are trying to make a circus in the sports just to make money. They use their popularity to influence their followers so they can get some money by supporting their fight. Unreal, the Logan brothers are really focus on boxing now than on their youtube channel.
The set up is now different, start making yourself popular in youtube so you can be a boxer.

Sad but that's the reality here for now. Maybe promoters are favouring these fights because they need to raise money as they don't have assurance to generate money from the gate because of the pandemic crisis. So they are banking on the popularity of the fighters, and hoping that people will buy the PPV for the match. I hope this trend will not continue as we are missing a lot of great fighters in this generation.
It's now up to us if we will support this fight by buying the PPV, if fans will not support this kind of fight then promoters would stop doing this. Thing is, we have supported the previous fights of Jake Paul so they are now again doing it, if we keep doing that, they might fight more to make more money, it's very simple.
There's no law that preventing them from doing that, so we have to be open with this kind of entertainment as we can't stop them anyway.
Now, I'm interested to know the betting odds, Jake Paul still has a shot here since he is undefeated.
Ben Askren is good in grappling I have seen a lot of his winning in grappling but I don't know how he will fare in pure boxing where Paul Logan already two wins and training only in boxing, this is an entertaining fight Logan can punch but I don't know if he can hit Ben Askren who has good agility compared to those he faced in his previous fight, this is a good career build-up for both fighters Ben Askren, needs this win badly so he can get back mainstream.

Ben Askren's showed toughness and a high capacity to absorb damage in his fight with Robbie Lawler.

They say you can't teach toughness and heart. There are many who hit hard and appear to have impressive skills. Who end up being glass cannons. They can dish it out, but can't take it.
I think Ben Askren could win the fight with his toughness, durability, aggressiveness and pace.
Its not a guaranteed win for Jake Paul who has never really been tested.

Wait what?! The Ben Askren that was on the receiving end of the fastest KO in the UFC history? An MMA fighter who specializes in wrestling is competing in a fist fight 
Is this fight for charity? If yes, I'll support it. If not, I hope nobody buys tickets/PPVs.
LMAO, yes the same Ben Askren who has a lot of hype around him when he switch to UFC, who trash talk his way, but then Masvidal took out his soul in just 5 seconds. Is this fight for charity? If yes, I'll support it. If not, I hope nobody buys tickets/PPVs.https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/1/26/22250331/ben-askren-to-fight-jake-paul-in-pro-boxing-bout-on-april-17
It's say "pro-boxing", so I don't know if that means charity fight. In any case, yeah, just another hype fight all for the money.

ESPN and Ariel Helwani just announced that Jake Paul will be fighting ex UFC/MMA fighter Ben Askren in eight round pro boxing match on April 17
I have no idea why Ben Askren would accept this match, because he was never known as a fighter with great boxing skills, and he was more known for his wrestling and grappling.
Fight is organized by Triller, same company that was promoting latest Mike Tyson fight against Roy Jones Junior.
Ben Askren UFC record 19-2
Jake Paul boxing record 2-0
