Say what you want about Jake Paul but the guy has basically been training as a professional boxer for the past two years. He completely worked over a guy who was at one point a world class athlete and could have played in the NBA or NFL in Nate Robinson. That said the Askren fight will be much tougher as Askren is one of the all-time greatest collegiate wrestlers/High school wresters and has actually been training as a fighter for a number of years.
Lmfao!
He’s a wrestler, not a boxer, in fact, he might have the worst striking in all of MMA. This proves absolutely nothing, just like the Nate Robinson fight...
This is nothing more than another sore spot for combat sports. It’s sickening...
Yes Askren is a a great wrestler but has never shown that he has hands or a chin, yes I do think these things are garbage money grabs and ugly for the sport.
I do think Jake Paul has a good chance to beat Askren as well. Just becasue you are a good collegiate wrestler doesnt mean you translate to success in the MMA or boxing game. I think it helps tremendoulsy in the cage but stand up and hitting or taking a shot doesnt mean shit.
