Boxing odds: Paul projected to beat Askren by KO or DQ, Mir likely to get slept

Us face-punching fans often piss off the combat sports gods and we miss out on Randy/Fedor and Khabib/Tony, or get Floyd/Manny way late. As punishment, we are graced with the spectacle of YouTuber Jake Paul vs. former Bellator and ONE welterweight MMA champion Ben Askren in a boxing bout — with Frank Mir making his sweet science debut on the undercard. Bloody Elbow is here to provide the betting odds for this travesty, but that doesn’t mean we’re happy about it.

When the odds first dropped for this clash of... let’s just say personalities, Paul opened up as a -200 betting favorite to Askren’s underdog line of +160.
