lol boxing at it again. youtube boxer faces smaller mma fighter who is a wrestler and not a striker in a boxing match.

I don't take these exhibitions too seriously. They are just empty calories.

But it might be fun to see a high-level wrestler get beat down by a low-level boxer in a boxing match.

As a boxing fan, this fight is a win win.

I want to see Jake lose, but the idea of him beating a former UFC champ has its appeal.

[rudy]

Ben is going to beat him bad remember he been fighting a long time and how to fight

Bellator champ. He went 1-2 in the UFC and was KO'd in literally 5 seconds in one of his losses.

A .500 journeyman like Gabe Rosado is who I was thinking after Askren.

If you think paul has the balls to get in a ring with rosado then i have a bridge to sell you lol. Rosado has actually become a decent fighter and i personally had him beating jacobs

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

Jake Paul a youtuber who recently began boxing is taking on a former MMA champion. Props to the kid, it is what is it. What's sad is people are giving this more hate than Pac fighting McGregor who just also got knocked out...and Pac isn't some kid who started this as a hobby to make money and seems to be putting in the effort. I don't get the hate, it might not be "Real boxing" but its fun and to be honest people seem to care. They market themselves well and for him its a risk he's not some long time fighter. If only boxing had half the balls or marketing of Jake we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Rosado has improved but he has a lot of wear and tear, I think he beats Paul, but that's a fight if Paul wants to prove he can actually fight.

Rosado vs Berlanga is a fight I'd like to see for Gabe in 2021.

Dude, Paul is a CW/HW. No point putting him in with a SMW. if he wants to box, let him box his own weight class.

Askren has like no hands. Paul should easily win.
