Paul vs Perry

After Jake Paul's fight with Tommy Fury, I joked that Jake can only beat black people. This is still true after his fight with Mike Perry, who is also part black (2% according to him, so the one drop rule applies). Before you say it, no, Ben Askren doesn't count. A man who is out shape, out of practice, with bad hips would've lost to the likes of Glass Joe. Ryan Bourland doesn't count either. Who Ryan Bourland you may ask? My thoughts exactly!

All jokes aside, I still feel like we haven't seen anything different from Jake. The most notable thing is his shitty gas tank. By the second round he was breathing from his mouth that was so wide open a boxer with a good hook would've erased his chin.

In regards to Mike Perry, a man who found much success in Bare Knuckle Fighting, did a good job of representing his sport, because he damn sure wasn't fighting like a boxer. He did have a few glimpses of success. If only he did...

Im not going to finish that sentence, because its the same story for every Jake Paul fight. X should've done this, X should've done that; all because Jake's opponents are shit boxers.

Tommy Fury was able to finish the job in a split decision. I haven't heard much from Tommy since. Apparently he fought KSI a few months after and nothing else, which sounds par for the course. Tommy was more into being a celebrity than a boxer. This is evident if you watched him on the reality game show "Love Island UK" - its a guilty pleasure of mine.

Jake's spectacle with Perry came about due to his fight with Mike Tyson being postponed and rescheduled to November, and Jake wanted to stay busy and not get ring rust. I'll give props to Jake, because he could've just sat on his ass in the meantime. It shows that his loss against Tommy didn't discourage him. He is still committed to boxing... for now.

on split-second biases, ethics class

Within the classical dual-process framework, System 1 is responsible for only intuitive decisions while System 2 is used for only tasks that involve conscious deliberation. However, the Voudori study’s findings indicate that even with the possible limitations of the experiment, tasks designed to cue intuitive processes may still be able to cue conscious deliberation. It may be because a participant happens to be very used to the principles behind certain tasks and thus there is more time to process things deliberately, even if for only a split second. 

A possible example may be found in combat sports, a discipline that uses both intuitive and deliberate processes. A possible intuitive decision is to use head movement (i.e. bobbing and weaving) to dodge blows, likely ingrained into combat athletes’ muscle memory over training. However, Leon Edwards exploited this tendency against Kamaru Usman in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 278, a mixed martial arts (MMA) event. Edwards clearly baited Usman to move his head to his right with a feint punch, following up with a head kick from Edwards’s left side that hit Usman flush on the head. From my perspective, the decision to use this fight-winning setup is deliberate. The execution of the setup was completely intuitive. Emphasis should be drawn into the possibility of using a deliberate decision in a very fast-paced sport that punishes split moments of indecision.

However, intuitive thinking more attributed to System 1 thinking can still be affected by biases. It is commonly said within the MMA world that “styles make fights”. Possibly, this can be attributed to how much emphasis an athlete’s training and upbringing can bias said athlete’s fighting style. Usman’s head-weaving tendency may be attributed to biases developed over training, then exploited. Perhaps another example is Ben Askren’s very prompt defeat to Jorge Masvidal in UFC 239. In an interview, Masvidal noted Askren’s bias towards simply rushing towards his opponents (likely to grapple them) and thus deliberately devised a flying knee for the very start of the match. This resulted in the fastest knockout in UFC history to this day.

Not unlike the situation in Friends in which Ross, Chandler, and Joey mistook a popped tire for a gunshot, biases cost Askren his reputation as a stellar MMA fighter in a split-decision mistake.

Ben Askren has retired from MMA due to hip problems that he has been facing. I am retiring from the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and frankly I am retiring from everything.

Ben has been a former welterweight champion at ONE and Bellator. His career at UFC has unfortunately been cut short due to hip problems. Ben Askren retirement reaction:

[ithisatanytime]

when Nate diaz was scheduled to box jake paul i knew nate was gonna lose bad, and no one else seemed to know it, i get it. the first big UFC name he fought or maybe his brother was ben askren and askren was a wrestler in the ufc, of course if you take away his best tool hes gonna be in some trouble. but nate in the UFC was a boxer, a striker, a brawler. yeah he might not be a good wrestler, or even a very good boxer, and maybe he looks like he has no business in the ring but you dont understand this guy is TOUGH!

if you take the UFC seriously as a sport and dont realize that there is a wrestling-esque fake aspect to it, than you would have no reason to believe nate wasnt about to clean jake pauls clock! nate spent his career going toe to toe punching it out with the best punchers in the world! but nope, he was embarrassed, he got rocked and knocked clean out at one point, and all of his fans refused to accept it. he wasnt really trying was the most often suggested attitude which for obvious reasons im not even gonna address here.

i think nate THOUGHT he was gonna win lol. how is a dude whos been boxing for like a couple years embarrassing professional champion level fighters? its fake, not the paul fights ironically but the ufc at a certain level. thats how i knew jake was gonna win btw, hes a damn good boxer hes a natural and i knew hed be fighting for real which nate wouldnt be used to. they start to believe their own hype, this is especially easy to notice with pro wrestlers, everyone knows what they do is not actually fighting but every big wrestler believes his own hype and carries himself like a fighter.

Early Morning Report: Ben Askren impressed by Sean Strickland's title win, however it's not most significant upset ever

Sean Strickland got rid of large chances in Sydney, Australia as the underdog in his very first profession title battle. UFC 293 still seems like a pipedream after Strickland turned the MMA world upside down. The bold Xtreme Couture item’s victorious consentaneous choice win over ruling two-time champ Israel Adesanya was the greatest upset in middleweight title battle history per oddsmakers, with…

Jake Paul Fighting Real Fighters

Jake Paul Fighting Real Fighters

Jake Paul faces Nate Diaz this weekend in Austin, Texas. The rules, Queensbury, likely favor Paul since he has seniority under that ruleset. 

That is not to take away from Diaz. The definition of fighting in combat sports has evolved. Fights, real fighting has no rules, and the closest either man has come to fighting in no-rules matches is Diaz. Mixed martial arts and the unified rules he competed under are the closest thing to an all-out fight. He deserves all the respect he has because he earned it fighting that way.

But Paul deserves some respect too. Oddly enough, for someone that found his fame on the internet, that is where his biggest critics come from. 

His episode of "Untold" will air on Netflix this week, and that is by design to garner attention for the upcoming bout. He is a naturally gifted marketer, and whatever it is that makes him tick to generate views, he has translated into his love for boxing. 

When his boxing career began, it seemed silly. 

YouTubers' boxing was the equivalent of celebrity boxing from the 80s and 90s. Even a hobbyist that does it for fitness is not going to be able to hang at the level of Ali, Mayweather, and, more recently, Terence Crawford. But you never know until you try, and that is what Paul has been doing since 2018, when he did his first amateur bout. 

He kept going.

Every time he was scoffed at, "Fight a real fighter." 

And so he did. He boxed Ben Askren, who, in his prime, was a world-class fighter in every sense of the word. Askren came into mixed martial arts from freestyle wrestling, where his accomplishments can make for a whole new post outside of this one. He was the Bellator welterweight champion before going to ONE Championship and went 7-0 there, leaving as their welterweight champion. He retired, seemingly before going to the UFC and going 1-2, then retiring again. 

Paul knocked Askren out in the first round. Fans that know Askren's career knew he did not get the best version of Askren, so they wanted him to fight someone that wasn't at the end of their career, in steps former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

Woodley did not have the wear and tear Askren had. Woodley is a real fighter, and Paul answered the call twice.

 "Fight a real fighter."

The first one was a split decision that would happen again, and when it did, Paul knocked Woodley out. It should be added that Woodley came in the second time because when Paul was told to fight a "real boxer," he was trying to face Tommy Fury. Fury was not able to compete due to injury then, so Woodley made sense. 

"Fight Anderson Silva!"

That came from a few of his doubters, including UFC president Dana White. And so Paul did and won a unanimous decision against one of the greatest middleweights in MMA.

"They're not boxers, fight real boxers!"

It seems to be the hardest ask that Paul still manages to answer and underlines one of the problems in boxing, making the actual bouts happen. The Fury fight eventually did happen, but not before dropping out due to travel issues the second time. Paul still tried to face Hasim Rahman Jr, who seemingly made booking the last-minute bout impossible. It would force Paul to cancel the scheduled bout, put a blemish on his MVP brand (Most Valuable Promotions), and underline why he puts on the matches he does. 

Real fighters want to fight. The rules don't matter to real fighters, so of course, Diaz is the right path for Paul. This match makes sense professionally for both parties, and while Paul may have seniority over Diaz under the rules, Diaz is no stranger to spoiling the party for someone making a name for themselves.

It's time to stop doubting Paul and take him seriously; after all his opponent on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, is as serious as they come.

Jake Paul vs Ben Askren (Highlights).

[heavenforblog1111]

Jorge Masvidal has gained a lot of attention this year. He won all his 3 fights this year against Nate Diaz, Darren Till and Ben Askren. He holds the recored for the fastest knockout in UFC history at 5 seconds and currently holds the BMF title. On Ariel Helwani's MMA Show, Masvidal was asked about who would he fight given an option between Kamaru Usaman or Connor Mcgregor. According to Jorge Masvidal between the 2, he would first take care of Connor because that would be a huge money fight and Kamaru Usman fight would always be there so he could deal with it later. But that depends on whether Connor really wants to fight Jorge or not. VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LCsYbLa4NU He doesn't want this, I don't give a f*** then.... You don't want to fight, you don't want to fight. But don't flirt with me and sh**. You want it or you don't. Leave me the fuck alone if you don't.Jorge Masvidal on fighting Connor McGregor *Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
