The co-main event on the Triller Fight card between Jake Paul and Ben Askren saw Ivan Redkach take on Regis Prograis in a 10-round super lightweight bout. The fight started off well for both men as they both landed a few good shots early on.
However, as the fight progressed, ‘Rougarou’ got a better read on ‘The Killer’. Prograis landed early and often with some devastating left hooks.
The fight ended when ‘Rougarou’ landed an inch-perfect shot to the body, ‘The Killer’ however played it off as a low blow and fell to the ground in pain. Later, the replays showed that the fight-ending punch was a legal blow. Hence, fans on Twitter were enraged by the same and absolutely destroyed Redkach for his antics.

A fan berated ‘The Killer’ for faking a low blow and costing him money.
@ivan_redkach so because you decided to just not fight and act like you took a punch to the nads will you pay for my bet on you? Kinda dumb I lost money cause you gave up and act your way out. Replay literally shows a missed punch.

Safe to say ‘The Killer’ has not won over a lot of fans with his performance tonight. One such fan, edited Ivan Redkach’s Wikipedia page to reflect what he claimed was the true reason the Ukrainian pugilist suffered a defeat.
