PROBLEM CHILD JAKE PAUL DOES IT AGAIN! KOs BEN ASREN IN ONE ROUND


PhilBoxing.com




USA – Jake Paul improved his record to 3W-0L-3KOs, 100% EFFICIENT!!!! Paul knocked down Ben Askren at 1 min 59 seconds in round one. Askren beat the count but referee Brian Stotts stopped the fight, didn’t let Askren continue.

The event was more of a hiphop concert that’s all I can say, I am not familiar with those artists as I am more of The Platters and Manhattans, Andrew E and Max Surban fan.

Jake Paul really looked good out there, you can tell that he’s really stern in his training. His left hooks were sharp/crisp/fast and the jab-straight combo that put Ben to the canvas was a bad ass perfect shot. Askren didn’t anticipate the hit that made him his the canvas face first.

People might think it is a circus, but Askren was a decorated amateur Wrestler, he was a USA Senior Freestyle National Champion (2008) and has an MMA record of 19W-6KOs-6Submission-2Losses.

Check this out: Jake Paul the Problem Child knocked out a NBA Slam Dunk champion and MMA Pro.

If you’re a basketball pro, football pro, mixed martial artist or a ballet dancer pro you don’t play boxing with Jake Paul cause he’s a legit boxer and he is serious.

Prograis won by legit blow!

Regis Prograis the former WBC Super Lightweight Champion of the world won via technical decision as Ivan Redkach faked a low blow hit and did not continue after a 5 minute recovery time.

Prograis the #2 rank just behind Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez, was winning all the rounds until Ivan went down in round 7 claiming he was hit below the belt. Referee thought he got hit by a low blow too. But replay showed Prograis’ right body shot was a legitimate blow, and it wasn’t even a good hit to the body. But Ivan was crying like a baby who claimed he was hit by an illegal punch. Stretcher was his commute outside the ring. Very embarrassing.

Judges scored the fight 60-54, 60-54 and 59-54 all for Regis.
Regis Prograis improved his standing to 26W-1L-21KOs. He should face Josh Taylor / Ramirez winner. While Ivan dropped to 23W-6L-18KOs but I doubt we’ll see him on TV again. What he did was a fraud in live TV.

Cunningham did not KO Frank Mir!

Steve Cunningham was an above average pro boxer he was up there, he was a former IBF cruiserweight champion, a boxing world champion. The odds said he is -2000 favorite, meaning if you bet $2000 you will only win $100. I was expecting a KO, but it didn’t happen. Frank Mir survived the entire 6 rds.
Mir was a black belt former UFC Heavyweight champ. But the fight was pure boxing, Mir is one pack while Steve USS Cunningham (ex-US Navy) sculpted 6 packs. Steve should’ve KO Mir easy.
Cunningham won by a unanimous decision, Mir didn’t win a round from the judges.

Oh!BeerTime!
The Nets problem is they’re like Amir Khan, if you touch Khan’s jaw he’ll drop like a log, Brooklyn Nets are fragile, a thin glass, they get injured so easy… I’ll take a healthy 6 talent over often injured 9.5 talent… meaning Atlanta Hawks, Knicks and Bucks are my top 3 teams in the East coz they are healthy… 76ers won't go anywhere, they still have Ben Simmons, Simmons is a negligible factor in a tight game, he doesn’t have a perimeter game and he missed FTs in last 4 minutes if game is close… so don’t count on 76ers, unless they trade Simmons for Kyle Lowry straight up… Asian won the Masters Tournament, wow I think Hideki was the first Asian to win in Masters, Tiger Woods won 5 Masters and he is half Asian, Asian love in the USA, no hating! Meanwhile check this upcoming fights, is boxing a life or not? Kakakakakaka!!!! BOLD are my picks…May 8, Arlington, Texas (DAZN): Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders, 12 rounds, for Alvarez's WBC and WBA super middleweight titles and Saunders' WBO super middleweight title…May 22: Las Vegas (ESPN, ESPN+): Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor, 12 rounds, for Ramirez's WBC and WBO titles and Taylor's WBA and IBF titles…May 29: Las Vegas (DAZN): Devin Haney vs. Jorge Linares, 12 rounds, for Haney's WBC lightweight title…June 5: Miami (Triller PPV): Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos Jr., 12 rounds, for Lopez's WBO, WBA and IBF lightweight titles.
