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.

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

        Oh boy did we buffer.

        We buffered like it was 1999.

            Netflix probably didn’t want to pay his fee, which I’m sure is up there given that he is 80

          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.

          My legit method was buffering…my bootleg cable had bad audio sync by 30 seconds. I ended up streaming Netflix from my phone to my TV…

          Let’s be a little more honest on that one. Yes, IPTV is cheaper but also yes, it does buffer. I tried looking for it there but must have searched badly.
