blue footed boobie posted:Conor would be nuts to fight Paul. Paul fights a full 35lbs above Conor and anything other than an early KO would be hugely damaging to his reputation. Are you worried about Jake Paul's reputation? because Conor has wasted away whatever good reputation he might have had with all the stupid poo poo he has done over the years.

Stealth Tiger posted:Honestly, Ben Askren should have more pride. He was on the wrong end of the quickest knockout in UFC history, and was tweeting jokes about it the next day. Now he gets run through by a youtuber. He should be embarrassed. Why, though? Would you be embarrassed if you were a great hockey player and were beaten by a good amateur at basketball? I don’t think the rational response to losing is throwing a tantrum, but you do you I guess 🤷🏻♂️

Jump King posted:I'm calling my shot right now: Jake's next four opponents will be Fournier, ODLH, Chavez Jr, Mcgregor ODLH is washed up but c'mon we haven't seen Jake against anyone with meaningful skill. Chavez Jr. Is a loss. Fournier is a toss up. Mcgregor is a good counter puncher and hit loving Floyd Mayweather with meaningful punches and I would bet to counter that telegraphed poo poo.

pentyne posted:For a second it looked like Ben thought it was an mma match where he'd grab the arm or something. Grappling is the domain where Askren excels, and that's not a tactic that would work, especially with boxing gloves on. All I'm saying is that, no matter what he was trying to do in there, he was certainly not trying to grab the arm off a punch at range. blue footed boobie posted:I had seen some of his mma fights and I was honestly surprised. He looked like he had absolutely no training in boxing. I don’t think he even threw a punch. He just clinched a few times and then walked at Paul with one arm outstretched before he was KO’d. But yeah, all Askren needed to do was to slip constantly and not stay in front of that right hand, just like Teddy Atlas asked him to in their interview, but he couldn't be bothered to get into 1st gear for the fight.

The Automator posted:Why, though? Would you be embarrassed if you were a great hockey player and were beaten by a good amateur at basketball? Because there are a bunch of people who wondered "what if you take a high level MMA guy, who has talent but in a different area, and a different style, and taught him boxing? What could he learn with some intense training?" And Ben Askren said "I don't wonder this, I just want to get paid". And there were plenty of people who wanted to see him win! Plenty of people tweeted at Ben "Please knock this guy out, he's a dipshit". I am sure his friends called and texted him and told him they were rooting for him. There are people who would be happier living in the world where he won, and all he has to say after losing is "I'm not even a boxer, I'm just here for the money, you can't get mad at me"

Gumball Gumption posted:He's a wrestler who has many achievements in wrestling. Why should he be ashamed that he earned a huge pile of cash for being a can in a sport he doesn't do? It's a cash grab for everyone involved so if that's what's shameful than everyone involved should be ashamed. If it's that he lost who gives a gently caress, it's a cash grab. And if it's to prove himself to people I don't think the accomplished wrestler with a destroyed hip needs to prove anything to anyone in a boxing ring. That money is keeping him warmer than any admiration will. because he got knocked out by this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSlb1ezRqfA

I think it would be very funny if Jake Paul continued to paste everybody as a rich celebrity who is just playing around with boxing and every time he fought somebody people say something like "ok but surely this time he's bitten off more than he can chew, this guy might be [old, small, an mma fighter], but they still have what it takes to put Jake in trouble" and then after the fight they start rattling off poo poo about how this latest opponent wasn't a credible threat.

Jake Paul is eventually going to have to fight someone with a pulse if he keeps fighting and winning, as eventually it will be almost impossible to get fights sanctioned when the opponent is making their boxing debut.

that fat gently caress shoulda been able to last more than one round. in retrospect the fight before it was even more pathetic. fukcing low blow twenty feet from his balls absolutely pathetic

I want to be clear that my stance is not that Jake Paul beats McGregor, its merely that they definitely will fight and each make 9 figures.Cigar Aficionado posted:Jake Paul is eventually going to have to fight someone with a pulse if he keeps fighting and winning, as eventually it will be almost impossible to get fights sanctioned when the opponent is making their boxing debut. The bar for what counts as "someone with a pulse" will gradually rise with each fight, is more what I'm thinking. Jump King fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Apr 19, 2021 |

It's a pretty clever publicity machine that the Paul brothers have built; pity that the top heavyweights can't seem to schedule their bouts as quickly.

Is that a Joke Jake literally has a hundred percent KO rate. Floyd has a fifty percent chance to knockout Jake, but Jake has a 100% chance of taking out floyd, add that to his 100% win rate. When you do the math Jake has a 200% chance of winning
