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 ‘The Problem Child’ are a few hours away from fighting each other, the Internet community has continued to share their opinion.

Traditional boxing fans have expressed disgust over the Paul brothers ever 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 and the fighting community in general.

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 Triller event.

Jake Paul vs Ben Askren

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

It opens up the door to several possibilities, but as the experienced boxer, Jake Paul might be the favorite. Despite having all the experience in his corner, ‘Funky’ Askren is not a reputed striker. So, the 24-year-old YouTuber boxer will have a legitimate chance of advancing himself to 3-0.
