Jake Paul says Ben Askren was "lucky" the referee stepped in and saved him

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul believes that Ben Askren was lucky the referee saved him when they did in their boxing match on Saturday. Paul dropped Askren with a massive right hand in the first round. After giving Askren time to compose himself, the referee waved the fight off as Askren's legs were wobbly under him, handing Paul the first-round TKO victory. Following the fight, Paul opened up about the stoppage in the fight. He believes that the referee saved Askren the embarrassment of being knocked out in an even more devastating fashion because he stopped the fight.
