[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17

[cabron]

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 

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

[TopTort777]

but it seems like Askren was picked to be an easy win for Jake.

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.

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.

Ben Askren is a also a very intelligent guy with a very sexy wife hehehe. Marrying someone like that implies self confidence.

In any case, this fight might not be easy. Askren is a real athlete. He was a collegiate wrestler and MMA fighter in Bellator, One and the UFC. He was also an Olympian. Jake Paul is only a youtuber.

It is partially true that Ben Askren was selected because he is not known to be the best stand up fighter but the other aspect is that he is a good promoter and he will make the fight interesting as he knows how to promote the fight and even though he was not having a big voice when he was fighting outside the UFC he now has a following and i do think Askren is a great at defense and he never took that many hard punches in his MMA career.

Like you said the only thing that worries me to place a bet on this fight is his injuries and hip replacement surgeries are not easy and it will make a difference in your movement.

The fancy about Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather is the huge size difference and everyone wants to see Floyd getting knocked out and everyone will be waiting to see an off day if that fight happens, if not Mayweather will school him .

I think Jake is quite a bit bigger then Ben too.  When Ben stood next to Logan on the podcast it was clear that he was much larger.  Jake might be listed at the same height as Ben, and Logan might only be listed as 3" taller, but I'm not sure I believe that.  Mayweather next to Logan is going to look ridiculous, but I think Ben next to Jake might look pretty silly too...  I guess we'll find out in a week, but I'm not sure I believe Askren is 5'11".

Askren at least wasn't Jake Paul's first choice which was Dillon Danis, probably because I'd argue he might be even worse than Ben Askren at throwing hands. Both are somewhat decorated wrestlers/BJJ. Jake also was looking ahead, and if he was to beat Dillon maybe he expected Conor to come out of the woodwork due to the fact they are somewhat close.

Logan Paul has a punchers chance, right? However, Mayweather has been in that ring with many killers, and Logan Paul is far from a killer. Mayweather will have enough experience, and will likely carry Logan for a few rounds to make a spectacle of out of it, but its very unlikely Logan lands anything meaningful on him. Boxing is generally more predictable than MMA or real fights. Logan's reach advantage isn't going to mean anything against Floyd.

Back to Askren, and Paul; I do think Askren might edge this, and surely with the odds being somewhat favourable for a punt on him hes got to be worth it simply because of the experience.

^ The fight is almost there everyone may place their bets now. It's 4 days more left.
I was able to witness how these peeps fight from some of their matches Odds might favor Jake Paul. But probably, judging on how they fight and the strategy. I am seeing a draw on this fight and I was surprised when I saw the news that these two will have both feet within a ring together. It thrilled me as, before this, I have imagined how good the match would be if they are the fighters. Ben Askren has the very least advantage against Paul but we will never know what will happen. Just for me, it’s a draw. They are a match.

placed a small bet on jake paul here for my motivation to watch this fight.  if paul will win this fight, will he ask for exhibition fight from mayweather? lol btw, at least this fight pushed thru as compared to his bro's fight against mayweather.

Probably. It does seem like anyone can get a fight with Mayweather these days. Also, as far as I know Logan Paul VS Mayweather is still on its just been moved back a little bit. I believe Logan Paul is in his training camp right now. No idea if Mayweather even trains for these fights

The odds for this fight are closer than expected. Either fighter is probably worth the punt. I'm going with Askren via decision personally.

It was just a show off by Ben Askren and from what i understand he just took a crash course of one week with Freddie Roach and it looks like it was done for the cameras if not what he is going to learn from one week of training with Freddie Roach. It is going to be a interesting fight and just a few days more and i have my doubts after listening to the routines of Ben Askren preparing for this bout .

[Welsh]

Jake Paul might be a decent guy behind the scenes, and away from the cameras honestly, but his whole persona in front of the cameras annoy the hell out of me. However, you have to admit that this is exactly the reason why so many people will be watching this fight. They aren't interested in seeing Jake win, and if they were partial to Jake then they might not tune in at all. However, because he's built up such a reputation with his antics over the years, he's turned a lot of people against him, which means people want to see him lose, and he's taking advantage of that, and run away with the money. Whatever you say, you can't say the kid isn't smart, and a proper businessman.

However, his antics in the open workout the other day really annoyed me. As a fan, we like to look at how the fighters are looking leading up to their fight right? So he comes out with this warmup stretching routine, which offered nothing.

Jake Paul is a mastermind, I'm going for a Ben Askren TKO

I don't know anything about him behind the scenes.  He seems like he's riding his older brother's coattails, but he seems to be doing a rather good job being successful at it.  Now he's earning himself legitimate paydays or so it seems.  It he can pull out a W then I think it makes the Mayweather fight more interesting.

After seeing him being interviewed on Impaulsive, I actually like Ben Askren more than Jake Paul and my take on it is that Jake is a bully who is picking on the guy he thinks is the weakest.  Karma would make me think Jake deserves a loss, but we'll see how well his calculated decision to fight Askren turns out for him soon enough.  I'm just excited to see the fight for some reason.  Not really sure why.

You've made a small bet to keep yourself motivated watching this fight. Myself got motivated to watch this match due to a bet thats been placed by an user on Stake. I'm waiting for the day once after seeing the bet Jake Paul vs Ben Askren
