Comments Thread For: Roach: Askren Hits Very Hard, Has Everything He Needs To Beat Jake Paul

[Dakuwaqa]

He definitely doesn’t hit hard. I want him to win though seems like a alright dude

[kingstip9]

Uh no he's not. He was a stand in for a lot of guys because of who he was connected with, but he was never like a top guy that HAD top guys. Even Pacquiao was filled with *'s if you look at who he fought when he fought them. He trains one style actually. So far from the most skilled.

Says some random poster on a boxing forum.
facts are facts.

roach is one of the best

and If pacquiao has *’s
Then so does mayweather Canelo and I’m sure the list can roll on.

Welcome to boxing

WOW!!! And this guy was a MMA champion?! WOW!! These cage-fighters are awful, how is it possible that a professional athlete ( and one that competes in combat sports ) is the underdog to a social-media influencer? I would be embarrassed to be a MMA fan right now, that sport is a joke.

Same way Canelo would be the underdog vs Jake Paul if they were competing under grappling only rules.

So Mixed-Martial arts does not incorporate boxing? I mean if Saul Alvarez participated in a sport in which 'wrestling' or 'grappling' was part of the game, I give Alvarez the advantage over a youtuber. I think this kid Jake Paul probably whoops the Diaz brothers too ; these cage-fighters suck. I'm expecting MMA to get washed at 'Trilla' this Saturday.

Askren was known as one of the last proper one dimensional specialists left in MMA, and was probably the worst male striker ever to enter the UFC. Theres a reason Ben is the "UFC" fighter Paul is comfortable getting in there with.

Mir/Cunningham probably wont be as one sided as people expect and has a good chance of going the distance.

Uhh because roach is one of the most skilled and decorated boxing coaches of the last decade.

having trained multiple world champions.

a respected individual and a HOF trainer ? Lol what are you on mate

Roach is failure as a trainer.

"Joke Coach Roach" is accurate.

Zou Shiming - failed.
Cotto - failed under Roach's watch.
Khan - failed under Roach's watch.

On and on.

Hell, Manny FAILED because he lost to Jeff Horn, and Roach told Manny to rematch Horn or RETIRE...Manny ducked the rematch, Roach was fired.

I hope Jake Paul blasts this guy into oblivion.

I have no idea why trainers and boxers are giving any time to these MMA guys and being so kind in their comments, when these MMA'ers are always nothing but TOTALLY disrespectful in talking about boxing.


Look for instance at the comments of this Askren guy, who is a 100% wrestler, just 2 days ago

"If I want to beat up an amateur boxer, it ain’t gonna take me more than three months of training to do so"

"Way less stressful to the body"
"Boxing is way easier than anything. Jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, Muay Thai, there’s very little stress comparatively.”

"This one is just drilling repetitions, getting in shape, feeling time and distances, that type of stuff.”

“When you think about it, boxing is so much easier than mixed martial arts. You just have to take your two hands and punch somebody in the face"
Yes it is when your are given the obese-pregnant-disabled-housewife-boxercise lessons where hitting back is just skipped.

The lack of respect really annoys the hell out of me.

Hardly a random poster, doesn't matter. Facts are ydksab if you think Roach is one of the best as a trainer.

Yeah why would any boxing fan side with Askren, he used to talk **** about boxing. Said the sport was a joke if Paulie malignaggi lost to artem lonov, any one with boxing knowledge knows paulie was robbed he out boxed artem.

also jake paul reps boxing, sure he is a slimy creep youtubee but he loves the sport and is bringing eyeballs to the sport, so people should be rooting for him. Boxing fans are a strange bunch.
