Paul wins unanimous decision by two scores of 79-73 and 80-72 shutout as former world champ unable to land telling blows
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.
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
I will admit, the whole "It's no cancel culture, it's consequence culture!" annoys me
When in reality, we let people learn from their mistakes and grow into better people.
Only a dumbass still thinks Dave Mustaine still gets into drunken fights with Metallica like he did 40+ years ago, but.... if the internet had existed back then the TumblrTwitter whoever Zeitgeist they'd still label him a monster, and be the only ones.
If the Rise and Return of Trump is any indicator, the internet is not indicative of real life.
No, lol. He was convicted and went to prison for it. That was the reason he served time.
In case you seriously don't know, Tyson was convicted of rape back in 1992 and served 3? years.
It was at the height of his career and fame.
It was after he was released, when he was fighting for his titles back, that he bit Holyfields ear.
That era was really a downfall of boxing. MMA was gaining popularity and the early, post prison Tyson fights were little more than "show" fights with very poor matchups. This was also when people realized what a piece of shit Don King was.
