Comments Thread For: Jake Paul Blasts Out Ben Askren in One Round

[Naps]

This of course is a LOW IQ opinion of a shut-in. Why would Askren take a dive? Money? how much money does it take to keep someone quiet. What if he talks? That would make everyone look bad. All for a youtube star?

You haven't critically thought this through, like most conspiratards, have you.

I agree, there's no way Askren would've dived in a million years.

But the stoppage was complete bs

As I said, Cunningham won every round, they fought at an exhibition pace, and neither fighter fought with any intent to hurt the other. It was an absolute borefest, and both turned up so they can cash a cheque. Fair play to them. Neither got out of first gear in a glorified sparring session and earned some bank. Both of them are winners in my book after that. Ben Askren on the other hand! Embarassing.

Askren is widely considered to be the worst striker in UFC history, he went 1-2 there with the one win being thanks to a ref mistakenly thinking his opponent had been choked out. He was KO'd in literally 5 seconds, the fastest KO loss ever in the UFC. You clinging to a Youtube *** beating him as though its some kind of win for boxing is pretty desperate. Especially when on the same card an actual former world champion boxer looked far worse than said Youtuber did against an MMA guy.

They should have allowed him to continue, but he was going to be knocked unconscious within one of two more punches. Jake Paul was clearly on another level. Faster, much better movement, better defence, ten times more power. It was like a ******* vs a water pistol.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying.

In fairness to the brother that sh^t was a crazy ass flying knee not a punch. Lotsa mfers woulda gotten taken out by that knee.

Dude had his hip replaced or some such hip surgery in fooking September.

I've been saying that for months, even posted his IG posts after his surgery & everyone keeps talking about how Jake sucks. I mean ok, but this other mfer got a fake hip n sh^t lol.

Granted he wasn't Sweet Pea Whitaker before that exactly either to be fair.

Yep and he looked like it... dude was making $500k to fight a very beatable opponent and looked like he hadn't trained a single day.

Paul is better than people want to give him credit for and MMA fighters are great in grappling and kickboxing etc but if they had what it took to be boxers they would have been pugilists

[deanrw]

I think it about time we all gave NBA and UFC Champion Jake Paul his due credit. He just took over 2 sports in the past year.

Was the old ref just lazy and looking for a quick night?

Quick night?!?! Sh^t man that poor ref heard half of the top ten pop musical artists in the country for the last 6hrs or w/e.

This is the alternative we get when the business of boxing doesn't evolve with the times.

So is Oscar's July fight going to be a Triller WWE promotion?
