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.
And the buffering
Oh boy did we buffer.
We buffered like it was 1999.
Now I can go back to never thinking about Jake Paul again.
Next week he’s digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.
I saw hat flesh gits too!
Young rapist defeats old rapist in “which rapist can punch harder” contest.
which rapist can punch more
ftfy
I’ll take your word for it. I’ve never really understood the whole idea of boxing being entertaining in the first place.
Skilled athletes are entertaining to watch. Guys that know how fight and do it well, at least. It can be a highly technical, highly skilled competition. Some people are just there to watch two adults beat the piss out of each other. Which, to be fair, is how the sport started.
Same. Even the match before with the girls seemed like it was an incredible fight for boxing, and it was still just as entertaining as a rock ‘em sock ‘em robot game.
Which rapist can haphazardly throw an occasional swing in the vague direction of their opponent, at least half the time at least being close enough to theoretically connect.
Ftfy.
For millions of dollars.
Wasn’t Mikey Boi found innocent?
No. He went to prison.
Fuck this year is disappointing.
Wish he’d fight young competitive boxers now. It’s wild how much time catches up to a human.
I think that would be even less of a worthy accomplishment for any currently fit athletes. At this point it’s like dunking on a crippled kid then bragging about being the best in your school.
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.
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 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.
Why we give so much attention to shit like this
Someone beat a rapist. Yay.
Surprise! It was another rapist.
And lemmy celebrates whichever rapist they favour. Sick.
You’re literally the only one here cheering.
