Summary

Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson in an eight-round boxing match, with unanimous scores of 79-73 and 80-72.

The bout, widely criticized as a “stunted show,” highlighted Tyson’s physical decline, including issues with sciatica, a stomach ulcer, and knee problems.

Tyson, once a feared heavyweight champion, struggled to compete, while Paul’s performance lacked effort and authenticity.

Fans, initially supportive of Tyson, grew disenchanted, booing by the final rounds.

Tyson dismissed the fight’s significance beforehand, rejecting the concept of legacy as meaningless. The event was seen as a cynical, contrived spectacle.

Why we give so much attention to shit like this

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I actually saw this fight. I knew they'd rig it for Jake Paul just for the headline.... but I was hoping they'd be less obvious about it.

Mike Tyson basically just stood there doing nothing while Jake Paul tried to hug him, and while doing this "hug it out" routine wore himself out in the process...... Dude looked like he was melting into a puddle of sweat while Mike Tyson just kinda no-sold the farce.

I'm tired of the biggest douches in the world beating talented people in fixed fights...

I'm honestly surprised anyone thought it wouldn't go this way.

Anyone who knows how big of a piece of shit Jake Paul is knew this was going to happen.

Jake Paul is a piece of shit and so is his brother Logan.

Fuck this year is disappointing.

The dude is 58 and in better shape than the vast majority of people his age and he just made 20 millions.

He won

Please forget that I raped that woman as I collect my millions...

EDIT: People so in-love with the persona or work of Tyson that they'll disregard the unforgivable. That he still denies to this day, even with the evidence. That says more about you than it does this rich celebrity...

Now I can go back to never thinking about Jake Paul again.

[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Next week he's digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.

Until he runs for office or Trump puts him in his cabinet.

Look, I don't believe in manifesting, but I still think we should be a little cautious

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The last decade or so has really taught me to avoid saying the words "that will never happen."

There is a non-zero chance of this happening, unfortunately.

The only thing real in this conflict was the paychecks at the end.

Oh boy did we buffer.

We buffered like it was 1999.

[–] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

You just reminded me of an awful joke my mom made many times about partying like it's 1999 which I'm sure you're referencing. Many times I asked her what our plans were and she would start singing that line in cringier and cringier ways that I groaned more and more as a kid, teenager, and adult. She passed unexpectedly a few years back.

All that to say, thanks for the rare reference I haven't heard since, and I internally groaned again. I hope you have people to groan about it like I do you cheeky devil.

The main event really undercut the earlier fights.

Serrano vs Taylor was fucking amazing. Despite Taylor’s dirty moves, she couldn’t keep Serrano at bay for a single second. I can’t believe the judges robbed her of the win.

[–] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

That fight was exceptional and the brow cut was so hard to watch. If the 3rd match wasn't there the whole thing would've been a waste of time as a casual watcher. 2nd match was good but wouldn't have pulled my attention by itself. 1st one seemed bush league.

Wish he'd fight young competitive boxers now. It's wild how much time catches up to a human.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

He fought a young competitive boxer once and lost so awfully he never tried again. His career is entirely based on beating up geriatric boxers. He is not out there boxing sub 16 kids because they won't let him. He would definitely punch kids in the face if allowed to.

Young rapist defeats old rapist in "which rapist can punch harder" contest.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't Mikey Boi found innocent?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

No. He went to prison.

I thought it was cute all the people saying Mike was going to murder him. As a 45 year old boxer I am pretty exhausted after 3 minutes. 5 rounds later and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea in an armchair sitting by the window. Time catches up to us all.
