how many seconds after? Was it a fishy looking stoppage where the ref stopped it early.
Was it a KO LOSS??
LMFAOOOO just stop, you’re looking terrible here.

Jake threw a jab cross, it just missed. Jake saw that it was still there to take and went for it again, Askren is terrible at boxing and likely didn’t expect the same combo to come again, and was prepared for a switch up. He got spiked with it.
Askren didn’t care about winning the fight. He didn’t even train properly. He wasn’t pursuing a career in boxing. He got offered a bunch of money to do something silly, he was retired and sitting on his ass, and said ‘Yeah I like easy money’ and got beat up. Simple.
He didn’t look “terrible at boxing” when he EASILY dodged the first combo with a gauge of distance.
checkmate again
So he took a dive. Thank you
If Askren knew he was getting paid to take a dive, why would he purposely avoid the incoming KO blow?
"Jake threw a jab cross, it just missed. "
Nope, Askren played a part by moving back to avoid the first jab cross.
LMAO. wrong again
Showing up fat and out of shape for an easy pay day isn’t a dive. Understand your terms.
I’ve had an MMA fight where I didn’t train and got KO’d. I didn’t take a dive. I was there hoping to win, I just didn’t work for it at all, and the other guy did, and he knocked me out.

Why would he avoid the agreed upon KO blow if he agreed to be KO’d?
“Askren agreed to get KO’d for real, but then he decided to avoid getting KO’d, but then he decided to actually take the KO blow 1 second later, don’t ask questions, this all makes perfect sense”
He gauged the distance from the first combo to get ready for the second one. Cause they rehearsed it.
I don’t know if you know this, but the point of a fixed fight is to make it look real.
So you have to brace for a certain move. Watch any 2 minute clip of pro wrestling. Same concept.

If you’re that experienced of an athlete like ben is, you know damn well that you can’t show up like that and still “HOPE TO WIN”
So in your mind, a fake fight and a real fight will look exactly the same.
So how could you possibly tell if a fight is ever real or fake? They look exactly the same.
Name me any fight that’s ever happened, and see if we can apply your same logic to it, and make any determination on its validity.
He didn’t. He got hit by the agreed upon blow. The first combo was for askren to know that it was coming
First blow attempt was a set up to know what’s coming, so he could get ready for the second blow.
A fixed fight is acting. That means you have to get ready for certain sequences.
I don’t understand how mma fans can be this dumb and not understand this lmao

By that logic, what fight has ever NOT been fixed?
Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva agreed to fix their fights. Rich knew when Anderson grabbed the clinch, he was supposed to eat strikes until he fell down and got KO’d. He even agreed to take the knee that shattered his nose, it was part of the plan.
It looked real because it was supposed to look real, that’s why they fake fights.
You know by using your brain.
Ask Joe Rogan:
"That fight looked fake as fk," Rogan said Saturday morning on his ‘Fight Companion’ podcast alongside UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub. "There’s a couple things I don’t like about that fight. I don’t like that clinch. That long clinch that they had when they were mouth to ear. They were mouth to each other’s ears for a long f*ing time.
“When Ken did take [Slice] down he never hit him once. How bout that? He never hit him. He had him down. He had him flattened out. He’s not blasting him with punches. He’s got him flattened out and he’s not hitting him. That doesn’t make any sense.”
Schaub pointed out that Shamrock is, in fact, 51 years-old, but Rogan still had some issues.
"To me, the whole thing … the entrance looked so suspect because he was shaking everybody’s hand. It didn’t look like he was about to go to a fight. It looked like he was about to go put on a performance.
“But they might have told them that this is the way to generate interest in this fight. To hype it up. All the fake bad blood.”
After surviving a rear-naked choke attempt from Shamrock, Slice scored a first-round TKO of the UFC Hall of Famer. Rogan didn’t take issue with the stoppage.
“The other thing that got me was the way Kimbo stopped Shamrock,” said Rogan. “That was real as fk. I mean he definitely cracked him. So maybe they made an agreement and Kimbo said, 'I’m gonna punch this motherf*er anyway.’”
So every fight is potentially fake, but only if it involves people that you don’t like and personally would like to believe are involved in fake fights?
Applying the same logic that justifies your perception of what makes a fight fake, that exact logic ONLY works when you personally make the observation, but never at any time when you do not personally make that observation. Same logic though.
Why did Askren get KO’d? Because he got hit with a real shot that KO’d him.
Why was the Askren KO not real? Because he got hit with a real shot that KO’d him, on purpose.
Why did Rich Franklin get KO’d? Because he got hit with a real shot that KO’d him.
Why was the Franklin KO not real? Because he got hit with a real shot that KO’d him, on purpose.
Do you see the logical fallacy?
There was literally nothing fishy about that fight.
This fight, there were several shady factors
- askren putting his hand down for the blow
- ref stopping it early even though askren showed him both hands like instructed
- literally one real punch landed that entire fight
- Ben Askren laughing after 'KO' loss - YouTube
Nothing this shady and obvious happened in the Rich Franklin/Anderson fight. It’s simple as that. Askren put his hand down at the last second to get hit.
Show me an exact clip of rich franklin doing any move to get hit on purpose.
