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 dude is 58 and in better shape than the vast majority of people his age and he just made 20 millions.
He won
Please forget that I raped that woman as I collect my millions…
EDIT: People so in-love with the persona or work of Tyson that they’ll disregard the unforgivable. That he still denies to this day, even with the evidence. That says more about you than it does this rich celebrity…
Do you or do you not believe in the concept of rehabilitation?
You’re not listening. He refused to apologize for what he did! Rape, like murder, is not just a momentary lapse in judgement/morals, it’s taking everything from someone or scarring them for life. But yes, I believe in redemption. So the moment Tyson acknowledges his violent crime, apologizes for it, and and pays reparations, I’ll shut the fuck up about it.
Until then, you (and people who pretend the past didn’t happen) are in the wrong for victim-blaming just because he’s popular. I’ll take all the downvotes forever due to this view…

The only person who lacks dignity here is the guy challenging someone twice his age to a boxing match.
Nah they probably sat together and said… we can make bank… let’s do this and give people a good show… And then they did the whole shebang and gave people a nice performance that cost next to nothing to produce and pocketed the rest. Pretty clever.
Jake Paul knows some people pay to see Tyson beat the anot out of him, others hate watch him and he has fans apparently.
Tyson can punch me up for 16 minutes straight, take whatever of my dignity he wants for himself, and I’d be cool with even 10 million.
The world isn’t going to shit because people are willing to entertain others for serious money.
My coworkers and I were discussing before the fight how much it would take to get us in the ring with Tyson. $100k seemed to be the consensus. After seeing that fight, I’d do it for $1,000.
The only thing real in this conflict was the paychecks at the end.
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…
Hopefully after a bit more CTE Jake Paul will just kill himself. Maybe we can watch that live on Netflix too
Damn dude! What did he do to you?
He is a rapist, so I wouldn’t lose any sleep over his self inflicted health issues.
Wasn’t Mike later found innocent?
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.
I was talking about Paul anyway.
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.
