Askren didn't dive as much as he never showed up in the first place. I refuse to believe he trained for this fight seriously. He knew what his role was. If Askren had a legit chance to win, this fight never would have happened.
And to be fair to Jake, this is only his third pro fight. They should be giving him easy ones right now. Deonte Wilder's entire fucking career was built like this; hell even Tyson Fury was a cherry pick gone wrong in the first fight.
Boxing Bros did an amazing five part takedown of Wilder's career. This man was still facing guys with losing records like 30 fights in.
