[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren is still not sure why so much of the public was interested in last Saturday's boxing match with Youtube star Jake Paul. Askren, who appeared to be out of shape and had no boxing experience, was stopped in the first round.

Yeah trying to downplay the embarrassment of being a pro fighter for years and getting flattened by a YouTuber that appeals to kids.

[Straightener]

No pride whatsoever

What a numpty

I will say this, he did look fat. He no business fighting at cruiserweight, had a hip replacement surgery and was told not to do any physical activity for a year, so he couldn't go all out in camp and fought only months later.

War Ben Askren, one of the great warriors of combat sports history. A heart of a champion. You emptied the tank against one of the greatest to ever do it and came up a little short. No shame in that. Don't hang your head Ben, you will be back. Your fan base believes in you because you will always have the heart of a champion. Nobody with a milk bag bod went as far as you did and that is a testament to your will and sheer determination.

That is a valid point, I also don't understand how it could attract so many viewers. Totally mind boggling, it was dreadful, having checked what the fuss was on youtube.

Between getting KO'd with one shot in the opening 5 seconds to now getting KOd in the first round by some **** from Youtube the guy has probably the worst high profile losses of any fighter ever.
