Jake Paul actually went against his coach’s advice while delivering the devastating right hand that put an end to Ben Askren’s night in the Triller Fight Club main event.
That’s according to the 24-year-old social influencer turned professional boxer, who moved to 3-0 in his career on Saturday night after putting Askren away at just 1:59 into the opening round.
The knockout came in dramatic fashion after Paul popped Askren with a left jab and then followed that with a brutal right hand that flattened the retired UFC fighter. Askren managed to get back to his feet again but the referee didn’t feel like he should continue and the fight was stopped.
