Why doesn’t he fight someone who’s at the same skill level, better yet someone that’s in shape and that has boxing experience. I heard he wants to fight skip Bayless next!!
Max I agree with you because it’ is what it is and it’s a Celebrity Match and CZcams fans expect no more
GET YOUR FACTS!!!
HE'S 1-2 IN THE UFC !!
He also NEVER belonged in the UFC, it's PROVEN!
It doesn’t have to stop, you just have to know who to put him in the ring with. That shyt ain’t gon fly over here. btw that was definitely an early stoppage foh
Never thought there would be a day when Stephen A Smith mentions Jake Paul's name
The world is a joke
Strange world
That’s what happens when you put the work in
@@dec2567 espn*
He said it before
“He looked like a fat slob”
😂😂😂
If you watch the fight the announcer says he’s “built like a bag of milk”
But he got that country side strength
you could tell stephen a doesnt watch much mma because thats how askren always looked lol askren has never been a guy with the physique of gsp or woodley
@@debojyotisarkar8256 obviously not got rocked right away 😂
@@sthao1733 people keep saying this but I saw one of his weigh ins and he definitely looked much more in shape during his career. Keep in mind Ben probably had to weight cut a little so he’s like 30 pounds overweight
Ben askren Is an embarrassment to the sport of mma
Steven A: put me on the split screen cause I wanna see max when I’m saying this.
Max:🙂
Max: 🤨
XD
LMAO
“He walked in there looking like a fat slob.” - Stephen A Smith
😂
Ridiculous! Harsh on Ben. That has been his look since he has been fighting.
@@84Victorious did ben go up in weight class for this fight..
@@travisreed4070 yes he did go up in weight, he usually fights at 170
That’s being nice compared to what he called Jamarcus Russell or Kwame Brown
Never thought that I’d ever see First Take seriously analyzing Jake Paul’s boxing career. But here we are.
I was just going to say this
Lol
Ksi 😂
@Legendary Impulse He’d rock KSI don’t kid yourself
It's all about views, you're here..you clicked, they're only responding to what we pay attention to.
Ben Askren looking like a Bag of milk was the best comment of the fight
That's how he always looks like
HAUSHDBFN
That was extremely unprofessional from the commentators tbh
@@lolbro6942 Its not a professional fight lol. It's for entertainment only.
@@tyler-hp7oq true bro 😂. One of the commentators also said he hoped that they would kiss... that's a lil sus
“We have not heard from Nate Robison and it’s not funny” 😂😂
Jake Pauls mouth: Who should I retire next?
Jake Paul’s mind: call out Betty White!
I’m not black fool!😂
@Marcus Wright r u blind he fought askren who’s white, ppl wanted Nate to win cus he’s a childhood hero not cus he’s black. Man everything abt race with u huh? Must be fun at party’s 🤡🤡
@Marcus Wright What did race have to do with anything bro?
@Marcus Wright Huh? I was actually rooting for Jake Paul more than anything throughout every fight... Your argument sucks and you need to learn how to stop generalizing everybody before attempting to make a point.
@Marcus Wright we ain’t errbody makin memes of Nate even black dudes so ion see ur point
I can’t believe the thought of Stephen A talking about Jake Paul, it blows my mind 🤣
Its not new. They talked about Jake Paul when he boxed Nate Robinson
I love it
It’s really weird. It’s like if LeBron started following Logan Paul lmao...
Yes just like we couldn’t believe it the last tile they talked about him, we get it....
They do it all the time
A moment of silence for the ones who purchased the fight
😂
it was more entertaining than most ufc or boxing ppv. thats just a fact.
Thanks bro. 😭😭😭😭
Dam it was on ppv lol
@Michael Still whats your point? i boxed and am a lifelong boxing fan. most boxing ppvs suck. the triller thing was a shitshow but like all spectacles you wont forget it. people were laughing at it, at the comedians at everything and having fun. that is better than a ppv where all the fights turn out to be boring mismatches.
Funny thing is, Jake doesn't have to fight "real" boxers. He has the buzz to sell ppv's and that's the bottom line. The "circus" is very lucrative.
Your statement is more factual and true than Stephen A.
Stephen A is saying if u take it seriously why are u fighting guys that don’t
this won’t go on long until he fights a real boxers he’s soft
Jake doesn’t need to fight real fighters, he does have a lot of social media buzz to sell out fights against retired athletes and CZcams stars. But if he wants to do what he claims he wants to do and be a REAL BOXER, he needs to fight at least an opponent who takes fighting and boxing as serious as he does, AND is experienced as well
Yeah what Jake is doing is whatever, like "Go get your money". But then he starts talking like he's a real boxer/fighter and naturally people gonna be like "Nah, not until you get on the ring with a real boxer, even just an amateur boxer"
The "fat slob" part I come back to everyday so I can hear it
Jake smartly chooses fighters that are the weakest but have a branding of a fighter, so that he could say that the CZcams kid beat an MMA fighter. When in reality he beat a weak boxer who doesn't specialize in boxing. He literally beat the worst boxer in the whole sport. LOL but it's smart because he gets to brag that he beat a fighter and live in a Land of delusion. But if it makes him money I will do the same thing LOL
Thats actually exactly what Floyd did for many of his years. It's very smart honestly.
@@realklutzee but it hurt his all-time legacy. Because everybody saw through it. Nobody denied his skill as a fighter, but everyone was perplexed why he was so choosy. Oscar de la Hoya who was less of a fighter than Mayweather had more heart than him
It’s funny coz most of y’all were saying that Askren would beat Jake. His opponents boxing skill only became a problem after they got knocked tf out lmao. Also don’t forget he’s practically been begging to fight Conor
I couldn't agree more and I would do the exact same
@@biged6206 autistic sums up most combat sport fans on CZcams
“Walked up in there looking like Fat slob” “somebody grandparents”😂
true but savage
what steven a want? askren is not a 190lber, he wants askren to gain 20lbs of muscle?
Lol 😆
😂😂
This just shows how much of a casual SAS is. Never in his professional mma career has ben askren been body beautiful. There's guys that just arent built to have muscles. Look at kelvin gastelum, Daniel cormier at light heavy weight, anderson silva "tall and skinny no muscle mass etc.
“fat slob” lmaoo he was so serious too😭
3 years ago when Jake Paul made "Everyday Bro" never thought Id ever hear him on Stephen A & Max Kellerman. Thats how u know what times we live in
Ben’s face when michael buffer introduced him as askew was priceless 😂
Michael buffer was in there?? Oh my god lmfao
I thought he said assjew
Fr and Ben was defending Michael buffer in the weigh ins before the fight too
@@blacklisted3397 LMFAO
@@blacklisted3397 no, that was just you fantasizing
Stephen A does NOT understand that fighting a regular boxer is NOT going to make the same amount of money.
It’s all about the money
I agree its about the money it should always be about the money but he keeps saying he wants ppl to take him serious as a boxer taking celebrity fights really he not Butterbean.
I think it would if he fight a boxer with a name he would make so much money and if he wins .. the narrative would be CZcamsr beats actual boxer
He wants to fight McGregor lol
It is now though , most people didnt know who ben askren was before their fight so whenever jake paul fights again people will watch because of Jake paul as long as its a real boxer
But fighting Ben Askren is no different than fighting a regular boxer
Askren has always looked like that 🤣😭
He said we didn’t laugh about Nate Robinson I was rolllin though 🤣🤣
Askren looked like he had never seen the inside of a gym
He had to put on weight. They would have been in two different weight classes.
Ben is a 170 ponder he had to weigh in at 190 in twelve weeks after being off 3 months with a hip replacement.. what do you expect, 20 pds of muscle in 12 weeks? Aftef being on the couch Lmao
@@yamahakid450f he cuts to 170 I’d assume. Just because he fights at 170 it means nothing, he was built like that his entire career. Max Holloway’s natural weight is 180-190 and he fights at 145
i mean ben always had a high body fat and low muscular mass, which is why he's a "bad striker"
@@jackmcg0 True. But just factor natural weight usually doesn't have the same muscle and low fat fight weight does.
I streamed it for free. I can't believe people actually paid to see that.
I can’t believe anyone spent their time to watch that “fight” to begin with
I didn’t even bother watching that trash
I was entertained for sure lol snoop had me crying the whole night , Oscar Dela Hoya getting drunk 😭😭 we knew Jake was knocking him out tho
I didn’t watch the fight until jake Paul fights somebody good then we are taking because then we get to see what jake Paul will do against a real boxer so far he only went against scrubs
Your proud to steal other people's property?
I mean it's tempting for sure but to proud of it to.. yikes
If you told me in 2017 SAS would be talking about Jake Paul on first take I would have thought you were crazy lmao
Askren looked like he was eating Dunkin Donuts and drinking beer with the donuts. Together. 😉
Max blew it,this was the perfect opportunity to call Stephen A a noob covering boxing
If he did that. They would call Max a Racist.
SAS always covers himself and any novice mistake he might make in his boxing coverage by initially deferring to Max’s boxing acumen”...Playing it smart. Like the Paul brothers 🤷🏾♂️
@@iamsmarterthanme you mean like Mayweather
Max isn't a child. He doesnt call people "noobs" or "casuals" or say absurd stuff that 14-year-olds post in comment sections like "you obviously don't know anything about basketball if you think Steph Curry is as valuable as James Harden." Just because someone has a different opinion on something than you doesn't mean you should call them a noob or anything like that. Luckily, that's what makes Max great. He isn't petulant.
@@ismaellopez288 doesn't make sense. Everybody knows that Max is a boxing specialist who's definitely not racist
“Ben Askren walked in there looking like fat slob!!!” 😅😂🤣
rewards bellator*
@snitch gets rewards Ikr? 15 months of sitting on the couch after hip surgery. Fought at 170lbs in MMA and never "looked" in shape. What did people expect with an extra 20lbs on him and who say's that wasn't at least partly bc of size differential?
If he wants to fight celebrities, get in the ring with 50 Cent. Built like a tank, trained in boxing... that would be awesome.
Lol. 50 will get dropped in 1 round. I want to see Jake call out Mayweather!
@@ivanvalente4752 i don't think anyone wants to see Mayweather run around the ring for another hour
@@ivanvalente4752 50 is a former golden gloves boxer. I’m not sure what type of shape he’s in though and he’s well in his 40s. Assuming he’s in fight shape he also has a size advantage over Paul. He’d probably destroy Paul
@@DP-eo5xd Put the weed down !
I was thinking 🤔 the same way:
When Stephen A says put me up on the split screen, it's like a battle rapper saying drop the beat!!!
Jake Paul is taking that Mayweather business model to another level.
Including his abusive behavior towards women.
@@PlyrMava. thats the first thing you think of when thought of floyd ? Yall got to much hate in ya heart lmao
Everyone thinks Jake is copying Conor, but he's actually following Mayweather. Getting the public to hate him so much, to pay to watch him lose. Even if its clear the guy he's facing can't beat him in a million years.
@@JakobeOcho ikr
He hasn't took it to another level because the amount of money floyd made from that fight was insane. but for the fact that Jake as a youtuber is capitalizing off of the formula is a great business move and I think it should put the UFC and boxing on alert. people want to see the fights they want they don't care what the judges and organizations think who deserves a shot.
Nate Robinson didn’t disappear, he still going hard on his show house guest and he be at all his son AAU games
I agree with you, but I believe he's talking about he disappeared from the fight world and calling people out.
Wait... he's still alive?
@@frosty2.010 he lasted longer than a pro mma figher in boxing, so yes lmfao why wouldnt he be?
That’s what’s up going to his son’s games. More fathers have to be involved
@@joselarios2129 exactly people wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t
Its like challenging Tom Brady to a swimming race and then bragging that you won because you've been practicing swimming for years and he hasnt
Then Tom shouldn't challenge him if he knows none of his football skills will translate into swimming.
@@elyonkunda6772 He did it for a paycheck..
I mean if i were earning lots of money to fight an inexperienced boxer that challenged me, i don't see no harm in that.
Some lines that Stephen A always used in all kinds of discussion.
“I get all of that.”
“If you look it from that perspective.”
“Blasphemous!”
My grandfather had Ali
My dad had Tyson
I had Mayweather
This generation has Jake Paul 😂
😂😂😂
But imagine he actually pulls off a win against a REAL boxer😳
Pacquio betta
Exactly 👎🏾
I had Pacquiao
Nate Robinson can sleep alot better after seeing Ben getting ko'd too 😂
Lmaoooo nate lasted way longer and his a basketball player and while ben is a fighter😂😂
Rumor has it Nate is still sleep 😴
He can sleep a lot better? Did he ever wake up?
@Leroy Green you are a moron
@Leroy Green what? you mean the PAUL bros? and the MMA community looking like food? Ben Askren is a **retired** MMA fighter and was probably one of if not the worst striker of his time. If you think what Ben Askren put on display last night from both a physical and/or technical standpoint was any indication of the MMA community then you either don't know boxing, MMA, or both. Put Jake Paul in the ring with someone like Isreal and he'd get his entire world rocked.
Got to say I was impressed by Stephen a in this, he was dead on
"You don't play boxing" is a great line.
This has to be a new low for ESPN. It’s come so low that they’re talking about this
Its because people like to talk about it, blame the viewers first
How
@@Gr8axeK0 The only people I saw talking about it were the ones saying how bad the PPV was
@@ChandlerTingle 1.8 million paper view buys and probably millions more illegally streaming so it’s very popular and relevant
Facts 💯
Ben askren showed up looking like the middle aged vegan guy at the la fitness that doesn't lift weights but does the bicycle for 20 mins then showers then leaves.
😂😂😂
what is wrong with someone who is vegan doing the bicycle for 20 min, showering and leaving?
@@jamester000 the problem is if you built like ben askren you should be lifting some weights
@@Djuane depends on the body you want. you could argue that that person should be doing cardio to get rid of the fat. I don't really care to argue I just dont understand what the comment means like If it's supposed to be an insult or what

Lmao broo . Literally had me rolling
I bet Jake ain’t think he would be being talked about like this on espn as a kid 💯😂
Jake may be a dirtbag at times but his life is a living W
Story is that he was on his way to the army after high school and now he is on ESPN, crazy to say the least.
He 24. Gervonta Davis is 26 and he’s talked about like he’s so young
I mean the kid started off on Disney
He worked for Disney tho
I don’t know what’s worst, Ben losing so badly after all that talk and confidence he showed or the fact that My body is starting to look like Ben’s more and more 😂😭😂😭😂🤷♂️
@Hersh Z nah... but that would’ve been the top of the iceberg 😂😂😂
But ben looks like that after a career of athletics and an Olympian so he gets a pass
@Hersh Z Majority of the world thought Ben would lose but prayed to god he would win. But nobody expected the man to walk out there looking like a peanut butter n jelly sandwich and get knocked out with a 2 piece in the first minute😂😂😂
😂😂😂
We all know Ben didn't didnt try, after the fight in a interview he looked like he didn't even try.
Always gotta love it when Max talks boxing.
Nah I'm disappointed in max he covers boxing & didnt call it for what it was a scam rigged Ben toke the dive I'm a casual fan & I could tell it was fake
Stephen A!!! I said the same thing he was fresh off the couch!! Lmao 🤣🤣
That muscle memory comment is so true.
@nexxt up true, but he’s got time and money now to dedicate to it. He seems like he likes it. In a year or two, he could be a serious problem to any amateur level boxer
@@nicbell8090 again, a lot of these amateur and pro fighters have been doing this for LIFE. Ever since they were kids, training to be killers and knock other people out cold. Jake has skills man, he looks pretty good and fundamentally sound. But Max made a great comment about muscle memory, experience is huge, and the time gap between Jake and these life-long boxers is huge! Would be dope to see Jake fight someone in his experience level or near it to properly give him legitimate credit
Snoop dogg is a part owner of triller and bet Jake Paul to win, isn’t that illegal, I just watched bens interview after the fight on ariels podcast
KEY THING "HE TAKES IT SERIOUSLY"!!!
“He ain’t never been hit by a CZcamsr” 😂
Boiiii that Youtubaaass boiiss are speciaalalaaaaa
Hahahahahhaha no comm
I only care about what max has to say when it comes to boxing.
Stephen A is pretty informed about most sports subjects, but he does at times say things which can be offensive! For instance saying that Andy Ruiz looks like Butter bean which turned me off.
yep. Steven is a clown.
And max was 100% right here
I get it. But SAS is right. Jake Paul needs to pick on people his own size. Keep it celebrity, but it needs to be someone closer to his age and SIZE that's as serious as him when it comes to boxing.
@@cmartin7052 but he comparing himself to other good boxers. He can’t do that if he fights a bunch of nobody’s
"Max you'll laugh at this"
Max:😐
I haven't seen it yet but from his description it was like the fix was in a man took the fall
Ben was like no weight ins, Fckit, imma drink my milk and take my million hahaha my DUDE RIGHT THERE

Lmaoo
Ben Askren was retired and just got a hip replacement. He had 12 weeks to prepare. Jake knew what he was doing by picking him at his lowest time.
stop it Ben would have lost 5 years ago too he has no stand up skills
12 weeks still should be enough time to drop 20 pounds, that's 3 months.
@@terryindachat7296 he actually did lose 20 pounds. He came down from over 215 after his surgery.
He was cleared by his doctor to fight There goes your hip replacement excuse. 12 weeks is enough for an mma fighter to beat a youtuber so there goes that theory. And Jake wanted Dillon Danis.. He chickened out then came Ben.
"Lookin like a big slob" hhahahahhaha i died
Well It's official boxing is becoming more like WWE.
Lol shut up 🤣 UFC and MMA were destroying the sport of boxing for years when it came to view numbers and PPV. But why would we be upset that we actually have people tuning into these fights? Because it's a CZcams trying to start a boxing career. Or McGregor coming from the UFC to try his hand at boxing?
@@anthonyvolper6520 if u've watched their fight, it's more of a WWE production than an actual boxing match, Ben Askren's smile says it all 🤣🤣

@@brrr3301 lol well yeah 🤣 I agree with that. I just see a lot of people's problems are with Jake. I actually think Jake can be a decent boxer. He just gotta stop with these stupid fights and get some real boxers to fight

What’s that? Clearly it’s not that important
"boxings not his thing" and quote "it was VERY VERY evident"
i love how you can agree with Stephen A for the first few seconds and then vehemently disagree seconds later in every video.Every time ...nice format
People may hate the Paul bros, but can we give them a round of applause on how they have marketed themselves. Really impressive $$$
Just No. They have agents.
Why should we applaud the practice of dangle a massive pay cheque in front of retired guys like Robinson and Askren then knocking them out cold after they accept. Real impressive!!
Money + Connections= Marketing genius (bonus points if you have no morals/shame)
Or fans have no morals or respect for the sport of boxing.
So if I play a pickup basketball I have no respect for basketball . It’s not a serious match this doesn’t actually respresent boxing
They're actually talking about this. 😂
Anyone who is naturally good at throwing overhand rights get more knockouts as the strike goes not only into the jaw but across it as well really rotating the opponents head and shaking the brain and switching it off
Thank you Stephen A i 100% percent agree with you
Insane how the CZcamsrs made it this big. Now they’re on First Take.
He said he walked in there looken like somebody’s grandfather!! 😂😂😂
They were all for Nate going In there when they thought he was gonna beat him up.. 😂
Is it me or max face looks like a filter steve kerr when they did the split screen? 🤔
Drunk de la coca was the best part BABY!😂

That smile on Max’s face 🤣
THANK YOU STEVEN A. Dat Man was so out of Shape
He also had a hip surgery..... at this point jake is fighting disabled people 😂
And Jacky cried in the end like he was rocky fighting for the belt. Someone takes himself waaaay to seriously
ESPN really talking about these celebrity CZcams fights more than actual boxing 🤦♂️
Never thought I would see the day where a youtuber is a main topic on tv for something other than youtube
But this is CZcams news 📰 lol 😂
At the end of the day it's all entertainment ( pro or non pro) and people are willing to tune in. I am more impressed with Jake's ability to market himself by building a brand and taking it serious.
Same here
I love boxing and mma I consider myself a real fan but I do enjoy watching these kinds of events. I think it has its own lane.
Never thought I’d see you tubers being featured on espn/first take
I normally dislike this dude but 90 - 95% of everything he said resonated with my perspective on the fight
Stephen a smith violated ben💀
ESPN Should DEFINITELY be talking about the headliner for an event that Netted 70 MILLION dollars that had a hall of fame fighter in the ring.
Y’all need to stop crying
Did I just watch Max shapeshift into Max? This started with him looking like a completely different person and ended with him looking like himself, lollllllllll
When it comes to boxing max knows what he's talking about.
Max is on point 👏🏾
Max is a fight game specialist, while Stephen A is mainly basketball and football.
Soooo jake should just fight tv hosts and football players .....-_-
@@donrob7347 Jake should fight whoever makes him the most money and signs the waiver saying they are willing to take all the risks.
Don Rob, that depends upon what his goal are with all of this. If he merely after money and social media glory, stay with what he's doing, but if he aspiring to win a world belt, then he has to step up and fight pro boxers.

This really actual makes sense most guys hes tried to fight aren't boxers
Did that not know that Ben Askren was retired and just had hip surgery and he was recovering when offered a huge payday fight against a CZcamsr, why not do it? But don’t expect him to be in fighting shape from when he was still an active MMA fighter
Yeah he went down fast but, it was nice cash grab though.
