Paul vs. Askren results: Joe Fournier calls out Jake Paul after stopping Reykon with two knockdowns

 A four-year absence from the game didn’t stop Joe Fournier from making quick work of reggaeton artist Reykon within the opening bout on the most card for the Triller Fight Club card on Saturday night.

The billionaire businessman was offensive minded from the beginning of the fight against a clearly outmatched opponent in Reykon, who could only keep his hands up in an effort to avoid the punches coming for him. A pair of knockdowns within the second round left Reykon rattled and when he was unable to form it out for the beginning of the third, the fight was stopped with Fournier earning the TKO victory.

Afterwards, Fournier delivered on a pre-fight promise to involve a fight against Jake Paul, who is competing within the main event on an equivalent card.

“It just quite came out naturally,” Fournier said about the finish. “I wanted four or five rounds to urge my feet back under me honestly. Everyone knows, I’d love Jake Paul next.”

There wasn’t plenty of action within the early going with Fournier doing most of the punching while Reykon was playing defense. Fournier wasn’t incredibly active but he was definitely throwing more shots while Reykon was just keeping his hands high.

As the second round got started, Fournier starting digging to the body with Reykon still failing to supply much in response. With Fournier still moving forward, he unloaded an enormous left hook that cracked Reykon on the chin and sent him right down to the canvas.

While he was ready to revisit to the feet, Reykon was just trying to avoid more damage while Fournier was on the attack, trying to find the finish.

Fournier earned a second knockdown after a left-right combination that left Reykon on wobbly feet before he eventually just went right down to his knees because the referee administered an eight count before he was ready to rise up again.

The second round came to an in depth but Reykon was obviously still hurt and exhausted from a lopsided fight. Unable to rise for the third round, Reykon was counted out and therefore the fight was stopped with Fournier moving to 9-0 overall in his fight career.
