Things not thread worthy

Jake Paul is only a -115 favorite. What am I missing here? Paul is a bum by professional standards, but I think this is a well selected cherry pick.

I'm actually having a tough time believing Askren can really be that bad. Yes he is a wrestler to trade, but he is an elite one. Someone who has the talent, dedication and toughness to reach the top of a sport. His capacity to learn physical skills should be such that he doesn't look like an actual child throwing her first windmills in the playground. That's before you mention that he got into MMA where guys are trying to take your head off and did pretty well in that too (until Masvidal actually took that head off)
