Nyligen avgjordes den minst sagt hypade boxningsmatchen Jake Paul och Ben Askren. Det var Paul som redan i första ronden landade en stenhård höger som knockade Askren. Han var uppe innan tio men domaren valde att bryta.
I och med all hype var det många i MMA-världen som följde matchen även om det handlade om boxning. När knocken var ett faktum dröjde inte länge innan Twitter exploderade i reaktioner.
Medan vissa tyckte att Askren borde fått fortsätta efter nerslagningen upprördes andra mer över uppmärksamheten matchen orsakade när det gick en UFC-gala vid samma tid.
Nedan är ett axplock av några stycken.

The fact that there’s more news about PaulXAskren than WhittakerXGastelum shows you that everything is pro wrestling. Everything. Just enjoy it.

Jake Paul after knocking out Ben Askren in round one: "I told y'all I was gonna do it in the first round. I told y'all I'm a real fighter. I don't know how many times I've gotta prove myself that this is for real."

There’s 2 world class, incredibly skilled middleweights fighting with heart, honor, and class on ESPN right now. With real commentators, no hooplah, and it’s a legitimate competition in which both prepared for weeks.
