[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17

[smyslov]

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  .

The referee did the right thing he is obviously rocked by that punch, referees are good at looking on the condition of a fighter who's been down, and besides, he has a weak defense Jake can easily hit him at will, that's three in a row for Ben Askren, and this means his career is over, and Jake's Paul is going on a full blast knock after knocking an MMA fighter.

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.

It's an easy job for Jake Paul he did not even sweat or get a jab or punch from Askren, it's much easier than his fight against Robinson, Ben can now be considered a patsy and he should retire and never come back again from any combat sports, his career his over, there's really no effort on his part, those who pay for this fight are shortchanged, Jake Paul should fight a real fighter he's been deprived of fighting real fighters.

It's an easy win for Jake Paul, Ben is on a piece of bad news after Cormier

claims Ben 'played us all' in Jake Paul defeat after he was filmed SMILING upon leaving the ring after first round loss to the YouTuber... with fans saying the MMA man is 'laughing to the bank'

DC and the fans will think that way because if you watched the outcome of the fight, there's no resistance whatsoever as if Ben Askren did not do his assignment and did not train well, his physique will show that.

From the first minute we saw that jake paul would take this match. Ben askren wasnt motivated at all or doing any damage
Lost to this youtuber is a shame even with a KO in the first round

He doesnt have to throw, he just has to be lazy in doing any training vs somebody who did.    He probably already has enough money in retirement this is just the icing and has no concerns or obligation to actually put on much of a fight, pretty poor performance but he did what he was paid for I guess.   Its better to bet on a fight as part of a career I guess.

We are all shortchanged it's not worth the hype, these fighters are all just hype, I prefer watching real boxers where there is a lot of action, Ben Askren just made $500k for a two minutes appearance in the ring, other boxers deserves this amount.

They are selling the drama not the fight.

This lucky guy won.

One user has ~200k EUR worth of BTC on Jake Paul between a few different bets. Big confidence for the youtuber!

I'm also wondering what's the odds for first round KO by Jake Paul, that should high.

Looking at Ben Askren, he look not conditioned in this fight, and his body is not built to fight, looks like he was just drinking beer prior to this fight.

Well, he (Ben) is a fighter, but not with boxing. He was a wrestling champ so I guess he's not really a good boxer. Though he can do well with MMA because he can pin down opponents just like what he does in wrestling, but then again boxing is different. Plus, he's not really in a good condition looking at his stance and posture, he is indeed retired.

I guess it's time for Jake Paul to challenge a pro boxer as they really considered him as a pro boxer because he already has professional records.

I think Ben Askren is an MMA fighter, so he has an experience but that's not enough for a boxer like Jake Paul.
Mayweather vs Mggregor is even better than this fight, round one only and it doesn't look like Ben Askren had a chance from the very start.

Congratulations to him by the way and the bettors.

I guess it's time for Jake Paul to challenge a pro boxer as they really considered him as a pro boxer because he already has professional records.

He should, his last three fights are coming off from amateurs, it's time for him to fight professional boxers, but I doubt his chances if he ever faces fighters in the top 10 of middleweight and light heavyweight, people will get enough of Paul's fighting inexperienced fighters, he will eventually have to fight tough fighters to test if he really has what it takes to be called a professional boxer.

Myself too thinking of this guy than the participants Ben Askren and Jake Paul. He is lucky to win, and he has made the right prediction about the fight. What he has made out of the bet is more than enough for a person living in a third world country.

It's just a small amount for him, forget about that 3rd world country thing, we live by our means, and no one would bet that amount if he can't afford it. Snoop dog was even screaming where's his money, I thought he really bet $2 million in this fight and he was right with his prediction.

This guy is reach, so $2 million is easy for them.

That was embarasing performance from fat version of Ben Askren but I guess he is happy with $500,000 he earned for this shitshow.
Problem is that we are going to see a lot more Jake Paul now and maybe he is going to call other MMA fighters like Connor McGreggor who is much better in boxing, or someone else who is in his category.

He looks like he never really train for this fight, Lol.

And with this win, Jake Paul stocks goes up, and yeah he will probably call more MMA fighters or even pure boxer. Conor boxing though is above average, his left still has the power to knock out anyone if he hits someone perfectly.

This just means we'll be subjected to more gimmicky social media infulencer type bullshit until someone actually derails this guy. The whole Triller event with the mini concerts inbetween fights really annoyed me. I'm sure it was popular among casuals, and those that are into that sort of gimmicky attitude, but it was really hard to stomach that for me. I actually just had a split screen going on, where I was watching the UFC, until the Ben Askren fight was due, and I still managed to fall asleep.

I was originally expecting the fight to kick off around 4am UK time, but it must have been around 6am? By the time it actually started. I remember it being 4:30 when Doja Cat, and all those were singing.

For someone who pays, and comes to see fights it was an absolute shitshow.

Looks like an "average Joe" to me

During their "debates" he looked more sporty. The moment he took his shirt off on weigh-ins, it was clearly seen that Ben was there only to get money. Ben was never fit fighter with 6 pack, but this time it looked that he was on a burger diet. He reminded me Rampage Jackson shape in fight against Fedor Emelianenko.

[OgNasty]

Where are all the folks who said Jake Paul had no chance against a professional fighter? Seemed like he had a little bit more of a chance in there... Has this had any effect on the thoughts about the Mayweather fight? Now that it appears the “pro” fighters aren’t the gods they’ve been made out to be, are there people who will begin to give Logan a punchers chance?

This fight was nothing like I expected. From the first moment I said that people are underestimating what Ben could do, dude is a wrestler but he was a fighter, dude had 19 wins in UFC, he was a great fighter, and I know he is not in that shape anymore but anyone who has done that should be a lot better. Some freaking youtuber came out and won with just few punches, hell Jake doesn't seem to be punching that hard neither.

First some weird guy, then an NBA player, now a fighter, I start to feel like there is something going to make Jake look better and better to make more money from his name, I do not know, I mean sure it could be legit, but it feels like it wasn't a "real" fight at all. I am saying all this but I haven't wagered on Ben, I just didn't see a point on betting on this, but I still feel like it was a fishy fight and didn't make any sense in the end.

That's not a problem if we will not watch his fight, lol...

Well, if it's Conor, I guess that would be a nice fight, but we don't know if Conor is now conditioned after losing his last fight.
Conor already made a huge money from his fight against Mayweather, so it's gonna be lower as expected, but still its easy money.

How about Jake Paul vs Mayweather?

jake paul should not call MMA fighters but actual professional boxers. that is, if he wants to move forward his boxing career. should have put more money on this. lol
now that jake paul seems to condition himself to be lined up against prof boxers, he needs to ask a serious one for his next fight. maybe a belt that is appropriate to his weight division.
