I know it's a circus, but is there any reason not to smash Ben Askren at 6/4 against this YouTube wanker on Saturday?

Obviously Askren isn't a boxer, but surely he's got more boxing nous than this c*nt?

He can't punch

All big fights should be here in my opinion. A 70k seater stadium next door to the Vegas strip. What else do you want?

Think he is there to see BJS (was with Canelo yesterday) so it may just be wishful thinking.

He's 'fighting' a guy that plays computer games for a living though. Surely the fact he is a fighter and the other c*nt isn't counts for something?

Vegas crowds are the worst though.  Obviously London would be great, but if it has to be the US I'd rather it was pretty much anywhere else.

I've a tenner on Askren in each round from 4-8 from 25/1 up to 80/1. Better prices now though, 33/1 - 100/1

Tempted to lump on the draw at 12/1 with Betfred for Tyson v Jones.

The only thing that's stopping me is wondering whether they can drag it out long enough.

Like this for example, which I never fucking backed  :butt

There is sparring footage of Askren where he looks so terrible that no one is sure if he is this badly out of shape or just trolling. Having see it, it definitely looks like he is taking the piss.

I'm reading predictions which are mainly backing the You Tube wanker by early KO. These kind of fights can easily be fixes so I wouldn't be lumping on them!

Edit: Having just watched Paul vs Robinson, I can only assume Paul will win this fight if Askren hasn't bothered training or takes a dive! Otherwise, there is no way an actual MMA fighter with years of training loses this fight even though he isn't a boxer. Neither is YouTube wanker!  :butt

You would do but it would be at a worse time for the American market and would have less interest in America if it wasn't there. You are going to have pretty much the same number of PPV buys in the UK whether it is at 10pm or 3am.

The state of him. I know he's retired but he's still a wrestling coach, how can he look like this? What a circus. This guy has the worst striking I've ever seen in an MMA fighter, if Paul KO's him.. :-X

Can only think he's tried to carry weight to bring him up closer to the other fellas weight. He is going to lose, he can't punch and he is built like me.
I saw a video of him hitting pads and assumed he was taking the piss but now im not sure.

Anyway Liam Williams v Booboo Andrade on DAZN tonight might be decent, Williams is brave but surely not good enough here?

Can the other guy punch? Bearing in mind he plays computer games for a living and isn't a fighter of any description, why are you so confident that Askren will lose?

Because Askren looks like he just came back from a night out with Samie  ;D

Also because Paul BLASTED OUT um.. a fellow YouTuber but also a basketball player, so there! I wouldn't want to predict what will happen in this circus, it could be fixed for all we know.

Having watched this Jake Paul's fight with the basketballer (it was really, really bad), logic dictates that even though he is retired and not in shape, an actual former professional fighter should demolish this wannabe.

I've never seen Jake Paul fight, I just think it's all being set up for a bigger fight than this, the YouTube sensation against Conor or something a year down the line.

I suggest you watch his 'fight' with Nate Robinson. It's brutal. He looks exactly what you'd expect someone with no boxing background to look like.

He doesn't look like it nowadays but Askren is a former pro athlete who would batter anyone on here in his prime.
