You bet on a 36 year old retired wrestler coming out of a recent hip replacement surgery to win a boxing match against a 24 year old "boxer". There is a reason he was picked for this fight, maybe next time use your two remaining braincells and do 10 minutes of research before placing a bet. Besides, Ben said multiple times that he tried his best to win, but ultimately the result is meaningless to him.

the fact that Ben is so okay with being embarrassed and putting himself in the worst possible position for the chance that he will pull off the upset or just be in an embarrassing position that he has to face later has given me a new perspective that i never ever considered looking at. i have such a genuine respect for ben..he's the kind of role model i would want my son or daughter to be influenced by. i will never say anything bad about ben again. dude has my respect forever. he's a man of his word and regardless of what happens he's going to stand by his statements and his performance. i'm no where near half the man he is on a daily basis, let alone after a massive failure. if ben has done anything it's an example of how you address anything in life, especially a failure. ben askren...i'd love to call myself a fan now but i don't think i deserve to be on the ben boat. thanks for your work in sports and i appreciate you as a human being.

@@maddyharvey7414 Agree fully. I would say what they respect is his honesty, or appearance of as only he truly knows his own mind. It's refreshing not to have the smoke and mirrors brevado and just see a "normal" - though exceptional athelete- person. He won't be effected by any social media hit pieces or discussions as it matters not to him. He's very stoic in his attitude. And seems to have a very grounded grasp on reality. I like him a lot, even more after the Masvidal loss and now this. He has strength or charachter. A trate that seems to be slowly deminishing over time. These are the role models the youth need. And the children he is coaching are lucky to have him as their mentor.

Everyone seems to be focused on the physical aspect of why he lost, and while it played a big factor, I think the juxtaposition between their mentality’s going into the fight, and through training camp, played a huge factor. Really hungry and motivated to prove it to himself and prove everyone else wrong vs. not motivated and indifferent towards the result. That’s a recipe for disaster

Man. The more I watch the more I like him as a man. He admits he hates what happened and is a little embarrassed and he continues to live life and impact kids. Fan for life. Onward Ben.
