I can’t tell you all how much I’m hoping Askren just absolutely obliterates Jake Paul. I hope it’s not even close.
Don’t forget that Askren was a pro MMA fighter for a long time, and he had an outstanding career. The man can fight.
While he’s not a boxer, we know he’ll have the stamina to go the distance.

Somebody just needs to shut Jake Paul up. The dude has to be silenced. He thinks he’s some star athlete because he knocked out Nate Robinson.
Big deal. That means nothing to anyone with a brain. Until he starts taking out real fighters, he’s a joke.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope Ben Askren knocks him out to the moon.
