[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17

[crwth]

It's possible that they are doing it for publicity knowing that having a match like this would be discussed, just like what we are doing now lol. It's all about the money and exposure, I think.

Btw, Ben Askren says he will win by TKO in the 7th round, and Jake Paul quicker than Jorge Masvidal. It's just a bunch of conversations that could spark up more conversations with their claims.

Maybe let's capitalize on betting on this one? Or it's too hard to predict?

it is already past that possibility. it is certain that they are only doing this for exposure and money.

it's too hard to predict and I can't be bothered to bet on their fight but it will surely be interesting to watch but I am not gonna buy a PPV for that. I've seen jake paul fight and I am far from impressed and I doubt his past experience will help him or help him have advantage much in this fight.

[smyslov]

In this article Jake Paul opens as a favorite maybe because Asken is already retired and Jake Paul is coming up a sensational win, but he is now fighting a real fighter, I'm betting Asken to win the match, this is going to be a very interesting match to see and will motivate both fighters heading before the fight.

Jake Paul Opens As Betting Favorite Over Ben Askren

I wonder why are there more and more UFC or even ex UFC fighters being fixed for a boxing match. I guess most fights are all about money, anything for show and money, amateur fighting in a pro boxing league. I guess boxing and MMA promoters are running out of ways to earn, that is why they are fixing a lot of cross-over match up.

This is really all about promotions, and I believed every plans they had would earn a huge amount of return once each fight would successfully happening. MMA fighters is powerful on their strategic attacks in terms of kickboxing, but they're poor against boxing skills because they're not focus on punches. Most often their developments is divided into mixed martial arts, that these fighters should undergo several trainings before their team decide for a big match this coming April.

That is the only reason why they want this fight to happen.

See, they are already talking trash in social media, meaning they are selling the fights right away. Ben Askren prediction is much realistic though, Jake Paul taking advantage of that 5 seconds knock out of Jorge Masvidal to create more hype.

Maybe let's capitalize on betting on this one? Or it's too hard to predict?

Unfortunately, I'm not gonna bet on this one though, but for those who are, goodluck.

Is this the effect of the McGregor-Mayweather fight years ago?
MMA Fighters, Celebrities are fighting in a boxing ring . Quite ironic but for the sake of money, they will do it.

After the loss of Askren against Masvidal (with the fastest time), it is his chance to redeem himself at least. Well for the sake of money they will do it. I might try to bet on this fight for some reasons but I don't who which side I will pick. A lot more of this kind of fights will happen in the future though.

Right, and with the ton of money they've created, make sense for some of celebrities to follow to their footsteps.

I might try to bet on this fight for some reasons but I don't who which side I will pick. A lot more of this kind of fights will happen in the future though.

But if he wanted to regain and redeem himself, he should fight in the Octagon again. I guess that's not his intention here, not for the legacy but for the love of money.

Jake Paul is a favorite here but Asken is a former world champion and has a good record before that two successive losses, the only advantage that I can think of Paul is he is fresh from his winning but Asken is already retired, if Ben losses this match it's going to be a big humiliation for him, it's ok to lose to an MMA fighter but not to a YouTube star.

You are right, Jake Paul is the favorite because this is boxing and he is undefeated with 2-0 record.
As per this site ; https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/boxing/updated-odds-jake-paul-vs-ben-askren-april-2021/

here are the odds :

Fighter   Odds
Jake Paul   -155
Ben Askren   +105

Nice odds, seems like a fair odds for me, but I like Jake Paul to win  here and I believe that this will go to distance.

After his retirement may be he was doing some hard boxing lessons to have this kind of confidence  . Jake Paul can knock out Ben Askren and if the fight goes to the distance i will be surprised. I have seen all his old fights in MMA and i have never seen Ben in a stand up battle.

Maybe let's capitalize on betting on this one? Or it's too hard to predict?

I will stay away from betting and will watch the fight, Ben was a high level MMA fight during his prime but you cannot say that about Jake Paul other than his entertaining fights.

[coin-investor]

Ben Askren has gone through humiliations. I guess that is something he's not afraid of facing once again. If only for the sake of money. But no worries, his opponent is no boxer himself.

There are reports and articles that point Paul as the favorite here, this is very interesting considering that he is facing a tough fighter in Asken, Ben Asken cannot add more humiliations, this the biggest humiliation he will ever receive if ever Jake Paul beats him, his two wins is against a very low-level fighter so I expect ben Asken to go all out here and beat Jake Paul.

[Janation]

I want Ben Askren to win here.

I am not getting salty about Jake Paul's record here or the fact that he's fighting an MMA Fighter well known for his grappling and wrestling skills. I just wanted to see the look at Jake Paul's face when he was knocked out or lose in this match. He's been so confident in the past months because of the knockout that he made but I think someone will sweep his smirk out of his face in the near future.

It seems, Jake Paul here will become an underdog, and obviously, his opponent has got more supporters than Jake.
Ben Askren will most likely who will win this match but who knows, there are too many changes that will happen in this fight.

Is everyone place their bets?

[Kelvinid]

I can remember how McGreggor asking Mayweather for a fight. And now, Askren has been also desperate after a quick loss vs Masdival, yeah it probably of the same ending.

I look forward also that ben would win but the problem is he won't have a boxing skill. He might good in MMA but boxing is a big difference and that 3 months in preparation is not long enough to develop and put him in a firm. If he could extend their fight schedule, much better and probably have a chance to win.

[kkaroul4]

I thought Jake Paul would be fighting May Weather guess no one was interested on the fight, well is there any bookies from the bitcointalk forum that will cover this upcoming match on April?

We can forgive Ben everything, because he turns to be "our guy" 



Not surprise to see not such a big gap in odds. Thought there will be an abyss.
Thanks to 7788bitcoin found out that his opponent has a sport background and, I hope, has enough stamina for the whole distance. As Ben is not a heavy puncher, we might see a fight that last longer than few rounds and there might be an upset in it.

[FlightyPouch]

Why is this a "Pro Boxing Match"? I know that Jake Paul is making his way into boxing, still, I don't see him lasting in that path but his opponent is an MMA fighter whose punching skills is not that great even inside the octagon. I don't know who will win here but even though Ben had a lot of matches than Jake, I think Jake has a higher chance of winning this match.

I guess Triller company has a deeper reason why they arranged this fight but what is sure is, they are doing it to earn some money for sure especially that this kind of fight will generate a huge amount of money if it will click to the viewers.

Though I am not so sure whether the Paul and Askren fight will generate the same profit to Mike and Jones match as they are not that well known. But let's see whether Ben can also make a good performance in boxing ring.

Isnt that obvious? With all of those exhibition fights that we had seen, including to those fighters that had been long retired and just came back to the ring to make out some money.

We will continue to see fights like this and this kind of arrangements and set-ups when these organizations do sees that they can really milk out money from it, not only to the boxers/players itself
but also into the management.
Back to the fight then this isnt really that too much in hype compared into those previous match-ups/exhibitions that we had seen but at least they would really be
getting some views for this fight but expected it wont really be high as that.

[notblox1]

This fight is going to be a bit more interesting for me after I heard that Jake Paul is working with Jorge Masvidal in preparation for boxing with Ben Askren.
People who follow MMA know that Masvidal defeated Ben Akren with great KO after just few seconds of the fight in first round.
