This Is How The Combat Sport World Reacted To Jake Paul vs Ben Askren

18th April 202121st April 2021 Leon Jennings

Triller Fight Club put on another fight night on Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, headlined by Jake Paul vs Ben Askren.

Paul went into the fight with a 2-0 professional record, having recorded wins over fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib and NBA star, Nate Robinson. Askren is an Olympian, a two-time NCAA Division 1 national champion, and a former ONE Championship and Bellator and champion, but was making his boxing debut.

Going into the fight, Paul was the favourite and he justified the odds by knocking Askren down in the first two minutes. Although ‘Funky’ got back to his feet, the referee deemed him unable to continue to give the YouTuber his third straight knockout win since turning pro.

Really went with askren after his extremely logical breakdown of himself “being very good at athletics” say what you want, I’m not making fun of him nor what he has accomplished. In fights things happen and sometimes the people you want to win most get caught.

Man look at this shit. That’s so crazy me and Dan Dan react to the knockout on his YouTube. Show him some support https://t.co/Ht9T1IoexU pic.twitter.com/Qc1wGq8GFQ

Still love Ben Askren I enjoyed his wrestling career and mma career he probably would have it wrestled me in an mma fight but I’ll happily avenge this loss for him! Jake and snoop at same time https://t.co/6mnXn5sQfN
— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) April 18, 2021

See, this has to stop. @jakepaul is not some scrub. He’s a pro now. Askren, even though he’s a @ufc fighter, is a grappler. Not a boxer. So why was he even in the damn ring? From now on, Paul needs to fight an actual boxer. He’s gonna hurt any non-boxer.

Hey @triller send me a contract and I will happily knock this fucker out in one round ? https://t.co/JSP5lNh9xh

The referee made the right call for Ben Askren. No work. No conspiracy. No one was “in on it”. Just a referee preventing a forgone conclusion. We don’t always need to see a kill shot.
— Marc Goddard (@marcgoddard_uk) April 18, 2021

ben askren came on my podcast and said he was a genius. at first i doubted him. but after convincing the world he had a chance of beating jake, exploding on social media, and collecting a massive bag, even though he lost… that man WON. GENIUS @Benaskren

Enjoy saying you are a fighter for another day. Try that shit against me i'm catching a body @jakepaul And you mob with hoes. I wouldn't walk into a pillow fight with them. https://t.co/CKVwEH5Yj2

@jakepaul why don’t you try and fight an Olympian with hands? You are a walking advertisement for Planned Parenthood. I’ll knock you and your brother out the same night and save the extra rounds for your ladies. pic.twitter.com/fGMPB7H3Ts
