Twitter Can’t Wait to See Jake Paul Get Knocked Out, Berates the Triller Event

Jake Paul seems assertive about beating Ben Askren via knockout when they collide inside the squared circle. He has constantly boasted himself as the superior pugilist, apparently demeaning Askren’s word-class fighting resume.

However, several fans and netizens want ‘Funky’ to be victorious and have thoroughly expressed their ill-feeling over Jake Paul. While Askren and Paul are a few hours away from fighting each other, the Internet community continues to pour their opinion on the display.

Traditional boxing fans have expressed disgust over the Paul brothers since their entry into the sport. While ‘The Problem Child’ will face a pro fighter for the first time, many have billed Askren to represent the MMA community. Hence, several fans want a KO coming in favor of Ben ‘Funky’ Askren. Adding to that, netizens also ridiculed the ongoing event and tagged it as a “concert” and not a boxing match. Here’s how Twitter has reacted to the fight.

Jake Paul vs Ben Askren

The eight rounds cruiserweight headliner can either finish in a flush or go to the final bell. Both Jake Paul and Ben Askren are stylistically different. Moreover, they have different experiences and skill-set in combat. So, it’s hard to picture a possible outcome of their fight.

It opens up the door to several possibilities. However, 2-0 as a pro, Jake Paul might be the favorite in the fight. Despite having all the experience in his corner, ‘Funky’ Askren is not a reputed striker. So, 24-year-old Paul will have a legitimate chance of advancing himself to 3-0. But Ben Askren is familiar with taking punishments, and only 2 of his opponents could defeat him in a lengthy MMA career. So, he can rightfully deal with Jake Paul’s prowess.

The former UFC star has several well-wishers, and if he has undergone a proper fight camp, ‘Funky’ Askren has the chance to shock the world tonight. If he does bag the win, the absolute spotlight of the combat world will be on him. So, Askren cannot likely lose the chance and put another scratchy loss in his fighting career that too against a YouTuber turned boxer.
