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.

    It’s not clever at all. It’s blatantly transparent and only a moron would watch it.

      There are quite a lot of us morons in the world. So many, in fact, that Netflix struggled to stream it to all of us. Clever or not, everyone involved got what they wanted.

      Or people that don’t know any of the drama and just wanted to see Tyson do something one last time. The uninformed do thoughtless shit all the time.
