[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17

[Russlenat]

^ 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.

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

That was a huge bet, 81k usd for the youtuber, wow... he really know sometihng or this guy is just playing around with the much btc he has profited during the bull run. It's hard to tell, but I like a real fighter here to win, not a youtuber though his record is 2-0 in profesional boxing.

I watched the weigh in earlier today and Ben Askren did not look like he was in good shape. He was a little fat. It makes me question how serious he is about this fight. He's not exactly facing Floyd Mayweather or another elite champion but I still feel like he should have trained harder.

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.  

Well it is unfortunate that this has become the current state of boxing. Many of the promoters think that these fights are needed right now and they favor having these fights because they needed the money to make a profit especially right now that regular sports cannot hold ordinary fights that can attract many people to come and see them. But of course the PPV arena is a good time right now for them to take advantage of course. So they just pick any popular guy and see if they could profit.

These types of fights are pathetic. Jake paul at least knows how to box, but putting a MMA fighter up against him is a joke. The MMA guy is going to lose everytime. Same thing happened with Connor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather, MMA guy gets his ass whooped.

I would say that the current state of boxing has made these sort of fights necessary. MMA has just become too popular and boxing has suffered a major decline in the last 30 years.

Regardless of that... I’m looking forward to the two upcoming Paul brothers fights and think they’ve brought a lot of attention back to the sport. I wouldn’t be watching boxing tonight otherwise.

Between the two Jake Paul seems to be in a good condition with a well-conditioned physique, Ben Askren is coming off with unwanted weights going to this fight, I never known Ben to be a good boxer and it's too late for him to take and learn boxing, boxing is a game of endurance and he is in trouble here even if Jake Paul is not an A-rated boxer, Jake Paul can score a knockout, he knows how to throw a lethal punch.
I have a bad feeling for Ben on this fight, but let's see.

Btw here is the video of the weigh-in

Will see whether it is a joke, comparing Floyd Mayweather who is considered to be the best defensive boxer against anyone is a tough fight and i bet Conor McGregor has the ability to knock out some of the boxing champions in his weight division.

Jake Paul is not a professional boxer and he has not fought high level competition either but Ben Askren fought high level competition in wrestling and MMA and i think that advantage will help him in this fight as well and it depends upon how healthy Ben Askren is right now as he had a major surgery a few months ago.

Ben really hasn’t been taking this fight seriously either. I’m not sure if he just doesn’t care or is so confident that he felt like he didn’t need to train. He looked obviously out of shape yesterday. Everyone keeps saying that YouTubers have no chance against the pros, so maybe Ben knows this and will slap Jake around. I’d be surprised if you could show up out of shape and win in a different sport than you are used to, but maybe pro fighters are that much better than newcomers. We will see soon enough...

[notblox1]

Youtuber Jake Paul is actually betting favorite but I remember that UFC boss Dana White was saying he is willing to bet miliion dollars on Ben Askren.
Here is nice chance for him to double his money and get a little extra something, but I suspect that something like draw result could happen with bookies making most money.
Win or lose, Ben Askren will get $500,000 and Jake Paul will get $690,000 for this fight

maybe, it seems he is not taking this seriously as it is only exhibition fight. but we dont know their preparation here. we will see it inside the ring.

that's right. win or lose, both of these fighters will get a good amount of money. not that big as compared to others but hey, we are in the pandemic period and this is just an exhibition fight.
waiting bout the results as i placed bet on this fight...

Waiting for the fight to start, i am rooting for Ben Askren to win and he never had a good body even when he was competing in MMA but if he has not taken the fight seriously then he will get knocked out cold as anyone who knows to punch can hurt if the defense is not up to the market and if you are not training the reflexes are not going to be sharp.

Even if this is a an exhibition fight, they can and will hurt each other, as you can see on Jake Paul's last fight against Robinson, where he knock him out cold, for Ben Askren it is not money it's time to redeem himself because 2 losses after he stop fighting it's time for him to get in the winning and for Jake Paul's he wants big money and he can only get it after this win.

I’d be surprised if he got knocked out too to be honest. I’m not sure how this will go. Such a strange matchup. I do see quite a few people streaming it for free on twitch.tv though if people were interested in watching it that don’t have access to the PPV. They should be coming on in another 20 minutes or so I believe.

I believe there is still another fight before the main event, which is unfortunate because the commentary is really bad and Oscar de la Hoya is clearly intoxicated.

Snoop seems to have gotten everyone high on the broadcast I’m watching. I think I had my time zones confused. Looks like I was an hour early.

Umm... Did Snoop just say he has two million dollars bet on Jake Paul to beat Ben Askren? Wow... That should be a catalyst for some good commentary at the end of the fight.

UPDATE:
Less than a minute! Snoop going crazy about just winning 2 million...

So Snoop placed his bet against Dana? From what I read before, he will not go to a sportsbook but instead bet against with Dana. Will just wait for free streaming of this fight. Not really worth watching this on paid subscription from my end. 

[FinneysTrueVision]

As soon as I saw the first few seconds of the fight I knew it was just a matter of time before Askren was knocked out. He did not look prepared at all. He was out of shape and his technique was really bad. Jake Paul is starting to look like the real deal but he needs to start fighting better competition. We don't need to see him in another mismatch.

[TopTort777]

Booo on Askren. He was there only to get the cheque. Such a slow bag with fat...
Looks like gained on purpose. I’m not going to gym for 3 years look better than him. Paying so much money for PPV was probably a steal of the year.

Askren seemed not to give any effort on his training. He was maybe only for the paycheck. Well, I hope Jake Paul will get a bigger name on his next fight. If he is the real deal, then, maybe a belt that he can bring home with. Who knows, he will evolve into a real professional boxer with belts he can brag about? He is considerably young, so he has a lot to prove inside the ring.

I did not pay for the fight, i might watch the highlights later, Ben Askren was knocked out and his talks of venturing another sport just messed up big time, he can protest the stoppage and save his face but even if the referee allowed he would have hurt again as his defense was shit and even though he was training with Freddie Roach for the camera he did not learn the basic defense  .
