Where the **** do Paul bros fans come from if not suburbia? lol.

The Pauls have a rabid Latina fanbase.

Lmao........The MMA fans knows Ben is a legit cherry pick.

Imagine being a youtube star's cherry pick. Cuz that's exactly what he is

[Eff Pandas]

Asken should just be doing his thing outside the ring. I've heard him on a business podcast & he's a intelligent guy doing other sh^t besides getting hit in the head. Not to mention he's a fooking wrestler not a boxer. I don't see him doing well here. It's not like he can sprawl his way to a W in a boxing match.

Askren is 36 with two totally ruined knees. I predict his knee goes out in first round and fight is declared no contest. If Ben's knees don't go out, he gets KOed. Jake Paul boxes everyday, he's younger and bigger than Ben.

Askren all day

He might not be much of a striker in the MMA world but there's levels to the combat sports game and he should win this easily

[Willothelisp]

Askrens striking has been ridiculed for years in mma fan a d media circles. Obviously he knows more than your average untrained person, but sadly the YouTuber will likely win this. Most don't understand how the ability to grapple changes how you strike. With just his hands Askren will likely look lost. It will be embarrassing for mma fan like me.

Well, I think Punk would be a bigger threat, to be fair.

How? At least Askrin is trained in real combat lol

Punk's striking is superior to Askren and as Mike Jackson showed us, Punk actually has a decent chin on him.

Punk's problem was ALWAYS takedowns. He trained for striking against Mickey Gall, trained for striking against Mike Jackson.

I said it on another thread. If Paul needs a real boxer, Mosley Jr or Duran Jr are good picks. They have name rec and casuals don't realize they suck.

Paul should fight Oliver McCall. The Bull is still active, and they're both heavyweights. Sure Paul might win on points (doubt it) but it's guaranteed to go all 10 rounds lol
