Comments Thread For: Jake Paul Blasts Out Ben Askren in One Round

That’s was so rigged. Paul misses with the first punch then drops him with the exact same punch the second time. I’ve seen WWE matches more believable.

Ben didn't take a dive, he was ready to continue. The stoppage was an absolute disgrace by the ref

I don't think he understood you need to let the ref check your gloves after the knock down.

Yea in fairness I didn't like the stoppage myself either. Sure this is Ben's first boxing match, but this was the main event fight & its not like Ben didn't have fighting experience elsewhere. Idk that anything at all changes, but I think more folks woulda felt like they'd gotten more fight action value if it wouldn't went a lil longer.

They should have allowed him to continue, but he was going to be knocked unconscious within one of two more punches. Jake Paul was clearly on another level. Faster, much better movement, better defence, ten times more power. It was like a ******* vs a water pistol.

Youtube fans think KSI has a chance. Clearly they're casuals.

I suspect the referee looked at the rolls on Arsken's back and decided he wasn't fit to continue.

Cunningham is 44 and won every round by a mile. Plus they fought at a very low, exhibition-style pace. Garbage comparison.

Mir is a 41 year old BJJ black belt.

It was earlier than it needed to be, but the only thing that woulda happened if that continued was Ben Askren getting stretchered out.

100% he was overmatched

If it was an MMA match though diff story. Just a different skill set

It's just disgusting that the fight got stopped for no good reason.

Askren got to his feet, looked cognitive and steady when the ref was assessing him, and just pure shenanigans the ref waves it off.

Absolutely no reason for the ref to wave that off

Askren was never going to win this outside something freaky like a missed head butt or something. Even .Freddy Roach was talking b.s in the training you could see it . Say what you will but Paul could throw decent, Askren never could and is not used to taking punches .

What surprised me was how poor his movement was. I don't know how he won any fights moving like that.

Dude had his hip replaced or some such hip surgery in fooking September.

I've been saying that for months, even posted his IG posts after his surgery & everyone keeps talking about how Jake sucks. I mean ok, but this other mfer got a fake hip n sh^t lol.

Granted he wasn't Sweet Pea Whitaker before that exactly either to be fair.

As I said, Cunningham won every round, they fought at an exhibition pace, and neither fighter fought with any intent to hurt the other. It was an absolute borefest, and both turned up so they can cash a cheque. Fair play to them. Neither got out of first gear in a glorified sparring session and earned some bank. Both of them are winners in my book after that. Ben Askren on the other hand! Embarassing.
