Ben Askren will break Jake Paul, he will use Pressure and smother him close

[The Bloody Nine]

i'm not suggesting he do it, but i know he will. i doubt the ref will DQ him over that. especially if he doesn't see it.

Expect a Joe Cortez during Hatton vs Mayweather ref performance.

if that happens, Askren should just walk out of the ring.

This shit is set up to benefit Paul. He's the 'star' here.

His training partners have even admitted he never trained striking. Never. He just kept doing his wrestling. Wrestling over and over and over.

Now he's got a bad hip and literally zero boxing experience. Wrestling is actually not boxing, contrary to what many people here seem to think, and being good at one doesn't make you good at the other. There's zero crossover.

What he have in this fight is a young guy who's trained with good boxing trainers for a while against an old guy with a bad hip who's literally taking his first boxing lessons right now.

Can Askren win? Sure. But I wouldn't bet on it.

They’ll be selling “punch chucks” with Jake Paul’s face on them b4 this is over

 

[applesbananas]

I worry because he’s 1.) not a good boxer and, 2.) old


Jack Paul is younger and much bigger. But he’s a pussy. Ben has a chance if he can make it ugly. I think Ben might get destroyed and make us all upset.

How is he a pussy?

 

[Poirierfan]

Yes and slow boxers win by in fighting and grinding pressure watch boxing bud. Askren has a shot if he is able to press paul non stop and dirty boxing on the ropes

Umm, but Ben's not a boxer. He wouldn't even be considers a half ass descent amateur, he's terrible and I like him.

This. I don't understand why people keep bringing up Ben's wrestling pedigree as if it means anything in a boxing match.

How is he a pussy?

Because he’s from Westlake and everyone from Westlake is a rich kid and a pussy.

He’s also a pussy because he won’t face an actual boxer.

He also sped off to avoid confrontation with Dillon Danis.

three strikes on the “is this guy a pussy?” Punchcard.

 

[Bookerman]

Yip. He’ll lean on him throughout, not sure if he gets the finish but suspect he will through Paul chucking it

 

[jeff7b9]

I love boxing and I am particularly fond of the cross guard style and the fighters who implement it effectively, such as Archie Moore and George Foreman.

I was thrilled to see Yoel Romero adapt cross guard to mma and feel it is a brilliant strategy for him due to his tremendous explosiveness and power but limited cardio, it is a great way for Yoel to conserve energy and keep his power throughout the fight.


I see absolutely nothing to justify Ben being effective with this strategy or any boxing strategy.

I can’t stand Jake Paul. He is the epitome of what I hate about the younger attention seeking “look at me” “I’ll do anything for a ‘like” narcissistic generation.

but this is a boxing match. And Jake has shown boxing skills in boxing matches (however low level they have been) and Ben Askren has shown absolutely atrocious striking.


Ben can have all the Olympic mentality in the world and it won’t make him an effective boxer in 6 weeks.

Dont underestimate the power of self belief bud

Lol, we're not your bud, bud!

 

[Bookerman]

Askren is too slow because of his age and the hip surgery.

I know it’s slightly different but worth noting, Andy Murray plays pro tennis on one of those hips and competes pretty well.

 

[Gilday]

Ben is an old pillowfisted wrestler with half a hip. Jake Paul is a young kid who has power and at least some level of composure and an understanding of the basic of boxing.

I unironically think Jake wins this easily

 

[Poirierfan]

Been trying boxing will be like CM Punk trying mma.

 

[King in the North]

Interesting.

The tough kids from the Cleveland area don’t live in Westlake/go to private schools. I only bring this up because Ol’ Jack made a comment about fighting kids in high school. Made me chuckle.

His brother was a better wrestler in high school. I think he’s the tougher of the two (probably not saying much).

 

[Tylerlikesmma]

What are the odds? if Paul is a BIG favorite, I will put a hundo on Funky.

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

He's insane if he calls out Nate. Nate has legit MMA boxing fundamentals. He would embarrass almost anyone that's only been training hands a few years

I was really hoping Nate would be the guy that would represent Mma against Paul. He would literally bludgeon him. Slowly and beautifully.
