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 main event really undercut the earlier fights.
Serrano vs Taylor was fucking amazing. Despite Taylor’s dirty moves, she couldn’t keep Serrano at bay for a single second. I can’t believe the judges robbed her of the win.
That fight was exceptional and the brow cut was so hard to watch. If the 3rd match wasn’t there the whole thing would’ve been a waste of time as a casual watcher. 2nd match was good but wouldn’t have pulled my attention by itself. 1st one seemed bush league.
All 3 of the opening fights were amazing.
I’d argue the 1st one was weak where the winner couldn’t even punch with his left hand. Just kinda swatted like a kitten. The title card just sucked so bad you might’ve lowered your standards to say it was amazing.
Serrano has earned my respect. I’m not a regular fan of the sport and this is the first time I’ve watched a fight in over 20 years. How she didn’t get the W is beyond me. Her trainer was dropping bombs in the post match interview though, I wouldn’t fuck with that dude.
