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.

I'm glad no one got hurt. The other fights on the card were better. Main event was boring and predictable. Tyson was slow and off balance. Paul threw and landed 2x the punches Tyson did. Not a match that would convince a non fan that there is something more to the sport than punching.

I learned it involves a lot of homoerotic hugging as well

I was really hoping to see Jake Paul get crippled.

Hopefully after a bit more CTE Jake Paul will just kill himself. Maybe we can watch that live on Netflix too

Jake Paul's a fucking tool, but it's pretty fucked up to wish a horrible brain disease on someone my guy...

People can always change and the one thing the internet never seems able to do is forgive. To the point where they’ll wish death on people before they’ll allow them to grow
