We knew Askren was not a striker but unfortunately didn’t have basics like don’t push jab and make sure to cover after punch. Credit to Paul for knowing basics; counter with a right over slow left. #TrillerFightClub #TrillerFight

My take away from the #BenAskrenvsJakePaul fight and the #TrillerFight card. I'm 100% happy I didn't buy this PPV because it was a concert with a few fixed matches sprinkled in along with a staged slapping match. I thought WWE had there PPV last weekend 🤣

I’ve made a masterpiece #JakePaul #BenAskrenvsJakePaul #KnockoutCity
Going into the fight, the common consensus was that despite being a newbie to the sport, Paul was the superior boxer. Despite being a decorated wrestler and MMA fighter, Askren was never known for his striking.
Right from the first bell, Paul looked composed and did not rush into any shots. He waited patiently till the opportunity presented itself and landed a clean overhand right to shut the lights out on Ben Askren.
