Fans Question If Jake Paul Knocking Out Ben Askren in 1st Round Was Rigged

Update 04/18/2021 11:33am:

Previously, Jake Paul and Ben Askren squared up in a boxing match, but the match was cut short after Paul knocked out Askren in the first round. The Triller fight club event found Paul knocking out Askren only a minute into the fight after throwing a right hook at Askren. When the referee got to 8 in his 10 count, he called the fight after noting he felt as if Askren couldn’t continue.

Now, fans are questioning the validity of the fight and if the whole matchup was rigged for Paul to win. The Nate Robinson fight found Paul on the end of fans creating memes for the knockout. However, this fight ended up trending because of the set up of Paul’s punch, and fans even went as far as giving an analysis of the “knock out.” Watch above.
