Promotions such as the Joshua/Ruiz rematch (it certainly wasn't much of a fight) and the subjective reporting of the match (effusive praise sans any criticism for the ex-champ, a giant of a man, running from a living/breathing/melting Snickers bar), have whetted the fans desire for action in the ring. As a result, the Paul brothers (better than most others) have been able to garner fans in droves for what likely will be less than skilled contests; however, eager for action fans will be tuning in as far too many want to believe that what the Paul brothers and others offer cannot be any more a letdown than Joshua/Ruiz II and quite possibly will provide if not the thrills of a dynamic fight at least two contestants who actually want to mix it up, and who will somehow provide some exciting and highly amusing rounds of caveman pugilism. And in this case (Paul vs Askren) both contestants have personality to spare -- unlike Anthony, the robot, Joshua.

People can say whatever they want but Jake Paul is reviving boxing and making it exciting again. He is my favorite fighter atm.

I doubt Paul takes him out that fast. As bad Bens striking is the guy is pretty damn durable. A gloved up Jake Paul punch is not even close to a Jorge flying knee or what Lawler hit him with.

Ben doesnt have much chance of actually winning though. His best hope is to clinch and dirty box like a mother****er and hope Jake gets worn down and tired.
