Topic: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 - page 5. (Read 2969 times)

Askren is a wrestler. He was picked because he’s considered the weakest puncher in professional fighting. He would kick Jake’s ass in wrestling or MMA without a doubt. He may kick his ass in boxing, but he was chosen specifically because boxing is his weakness and he is a respected fighter. You also have to understand he just had a serious hip injury and was out of shape before taking this fight.

Basically, Jake is boxing a retired wrestler coming off a major injury who wasn’t in shape. If he can’t win, I may have to admit that Logan has a 0% chance against Floyd.

That is strange. He could have picked any other retired fighter or a fighter with bad fighting record. Ben is only 1-2 in UFC, but his overall record in mma is 19-2-1.
I think that Jake picked Askren to hype on his loss by knee to Masvidal. I think that was Jakes problem. He wanted to hype (and sadly he would and earn a lot), but instead he will be beaten bad. Logan Paul already made a hype with his sparing against Paulo Costa and got KO'ed hard. Jake plans to repeat that. But this time they will be without head guard  We know that Askren is not famous for his heavy punches, but I'm sure he will beat the shit out of Jake.

Look how I see this fight will go - first round there will be nothing interesting, they will be just scouting. Second round, Askren will go forward, Jake will eat few punches and get dazed. When Askren will be about to finish dazed Jake, ref. will stop this fight. Jake will get his hype, Askren will get some money, but in general, Jake wont learn a lesson from it, coz ref will save him from receiving damage.

It was cool of Logan Paul to have Ben Askren on his podcast. Ben seemed like a really nice guy and a lot of what he said made a lot of sense. I’m not sure how the fight will go down, but it seems like Askren was picked to be an easy win for Jake, and maybe that won’t be the case. It is cool seeing two sides sit down and be so confident in their position against each other. It made me more interested in watching the fight.

Ben Askren showed that he is training with Freddie Roach, Jorge Masvidal is putting more salt on the knee knockout wound hehehe. Masvidal was seen helping Jake Paul with his boxing. This might only be for social media clickbait to create hype, however.



Ben Askren is stepping out of his comfort zone to try a boxing match. The long-time MMA fighter and former champion famously signed on to face YouTuber Jake Paul in a boxing match, despite never having boxed professionally. Paul is fairly new to the sport himself but has enlisted some help. He has been seen training with Jorge Masvidal in the lead-up to the bout with Askren. Masvidal of course holds a record-setting KO victory over Askren in the UFC. Askren isn’t happy to see Masvidal helping Paul prepare.

It would end up in a draw, unless its justified. The Mike Tyson fight had a reason to be a draw, it was for charity, and it had a good feeling sort of vibe towards the whole night. I do think Tyson was up for much of that fight, and probably did win, but there you are.

This isn't for charity though, and it isn't ending in a draw, unless its that close. I don't see it being close though, its either going to be Jake Paul punching Ben in the face all night, and Ben just pressuring or Ben is going to show him exactly what it means to have experience at the elite level. I don't care what people say, and Yeah I've doubted Ben Askrens punching ability, but the mans a dog, and he can take a punch. He can't take knees, that's been well established, but he can take punches, more than Jake Paul will be able to give.

If you look at the recent press conferences, I think Ben is actually living rent free inside Jake paul's head right now. I do think the face palm was a little frustration from Ben, because of the constant interrupting Paul does, but it actually worked out for him. Jake lashed out, in a weak fashion, which either looked to be a rib shot or possibly even kidney shot. I haven't really looked back on it, but its a place where you can definitely catch someone off guard, but Ben looked unfazed, and the punch actually will have a physiological effect on Jake Paul. Ben won the conference by a mile, I noticed that Jake resorted to play ground level insults, and even quoted his brother Logal Paul, when he had the conference in London against KSI by saying "Look at the dick on this guy". This tells me, and I admit I might be looking into it too much, but this tells me that Jake has been effected by Ben calling him "Logan's little brother" rather than using his name, since Logan is in his mind, he feels like hes losing the press conference, and Ben is getting the better of him, so what does he do? He thinks what his older brother did to win the conference against KSI, and used a direct quote.

Jake just looked uncomfortable, constantly adjusting his hands, touching his nose like he was nervous or second guessing himself. Ben on the other hand was very chilled, maybe a little bit too laid back. You have to imagine, how will Jake who looked out of his comfort zone in that conference act when he's in the ring with Ben, who isn't going to stop coming forward until you put him down, and put him down for good.

Dana White actually said that in a podcast with Mike Tyson and with another person who knew Jake Paul and was claiming it is be an impossible task for Ben Askren to defeat him and to counter that Dana White said he would bet a million dollar that Ben Askren would win as he is a world class fighter and Jake Paul is nothing but a internet sensation. Dana White is not getting any money with the exhibition bout and he was simply standing up for Ben Askren even though they never had the best relation when Ben Askren was fighting.

 

not real boxing fights like this is really not worth to bet on imo. you cant expect those judges to be strict with their scoring. anyway, i thought this one has the chance to be cancelled also but it seems this will gonna push thru. wonder if askren will use his wrestling strategies here in this boxing match? lol

I would not bet much on this fight either. I think it is really going to end like Tyson vs RJJ fight, when it was obvious that Tyson was winning, but due to exhibition fight, it ended with a draw. And "UFC president Dana White claimed he would bet 1 million USD" is just a clickbait imho.



This is actually a great idea. Ben could really do that, as he is not new to cryptocurrency.

Seen it, Jones didn't feel the contempt. It could really end up like its a draw in the end. But I hope the emotions will follow. Fans badly want to injure Jake Paul.
Not gonna bet on exhibition fights, it mere and entertainment.

What is more entertaining are the ones who can brutally knock like Conor. Not this Paul who probably prefers to face the camera all day to go live on youtube and create NFT for sale.

Lol, a TKO is also good with me  . The only problem with betting huge on this match is that it is an exhibition fight and that for some dark reasons this match can still end in a draw, even if Askren dominates the fight. Look at the match of Tyson vs Roy Jones jr, Tyson was the better man and deserved to win but still the fight ended in a draw...

Jake Paul 2 fight in boxing equals my 2 fights after school Difference is we did not wear gloves and were in different weight division.
It is known, that Askren dont have a knockout power, that is why he will TKO him. I'm 99.9% sure that this fight will end in 3 round by TKO. Ref wont allow Askren to finish Paul brutally, coz this is just an exhibition fight.

Cotto vs Marquez exhibition fight is not confirm yet, I guess that was just a rumor since there's no schedule yet on when these two will fight, and If I'm not mistaken, they have not sign any contract yet, so we need to wait for that. This fight will happen per schedule but I believe this isn't as exciting as other fighters who really are champions and had and exhibition fights soon.

So 10 days to come , are you ready for your betting? have decided which one will be your Boxer?

Surely i will be for much experience boxer , though the Age is a little difference yet I will go for Ben Askren here.

_____________________________

But of course I will only bet small funds because I am looking for the exhibition fight of Cotto and Marquez 

Exactly, the guy is a joke! The 2 wins in boxing don't really count. Surprising to see that the bookmakers see Paul as favorite so will probably make some bets on Askren to win. Hopefully he can knock him out 

2 win huh? Against a youtuber and NBA player. Really not a joker. Btw, the reason I'm calling him a joker is because he will have a fight against a MMA fighter with 22-2 record and hundreds of wrestling matches. Even if he is not a boxer he is a professional fighter. While Paul is YouTuber, actor, social media influencer, professional boxer, rapper, who, perhaps goes to the gym with his brother, punches bags and did some sparing.

Logan Paul is a pretty decent boxer but to fight against Floyd Mayweather and win is a difficult task for any boxer and i do not think that anyone can because his defense his impeccable and even at this age i do not see him loosing as he is still training even after retirement and he is not known to abuse his body even though the personality he portrays implies that  . 

When it comes to Ben Askren i am confident that he could last all the rounds against Jake Paul and the only worry i have is that Ben Askren recently had a hip replacement surgery and i have not idea about his health situation, but his health is in perfect situation he could stand with Jake Paul and go the distance.

That's what the line is saying, we can't debate on that, Askren does not have a win in boxing yet, but Jake Paul has 2 wins and all coming from KO.

See it here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/912383.. this guy is not a joker.

Askren is an underdog? Because he is not good at striking ? "with these boxers" - among them Askren is a more boxer, while Paul is a joker
To me it is clear that one is a professional fighter, other is a youtube clown. Looks clear who will win, coz I never heard that Askren has a crystal jaw.

^ Judging it by the stats, it seems like Jake Paul is on its advantage against his opponent. They are indeed not that familiar to me but we can see how passionate they both are. But for now, we cannot also judge the underdog yet. It is not about size anyway but we will cross the bridge when we get there.
Nevertheless, the fight was almost there and we are getting closer, for those who are not familiar with these boxers, please do not place bets without any idea on which one would possibly win. Try to check their highlights before deciding. Good luck!

This event is going to be big considering that Jake Paul is going to have a lot of his supporters that are going to watch this fight. We all have our preferences when it comes to entertainment so I get you and cut the guy some slack since he is weak too so it is natural to choose a fighter at around or close to his level.
