Jake Paul is picking his opponents very carefully.
Paul is a big kid who is training really hard at boxing. He couldn’t be a legit boxer, but as long as he keeps fighting other YouTubers, basketball players, and washed-up MMA fighters there is a lot of money to be made.
Askren didn’t seem to be that broken up about getting knocked out, but did say he let people down.
“It’s probably deserved,” Askren said when asked about the ridicule he’ll receive following the loss. “Because I got knocked out by Jake Paul. It’s f*king embarrassing.
“I didn’t let the MMA community down, I let the world down. People f*cking hate Jake Paul and they wanted to see me make him miserable and I didn’t do that. So I didn’t let the MMA community down, I let the world down.”
You think?
The question begs who will be the person who actually beats Jake Paul?
