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.

Fuck this year is disappointing.

Wish he'd fight young competitive boxers now. It's wild how much time catches up to a human.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

The dude is 58 and in better shape than the vast majority of people his age and he just made 20 millions.

He won

Now I can go back to never thinking about Jake Paul again.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago

Next week he's digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.

Until he runs for office or Trump puts him in his cabinet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 42 minutes ago

Oh he'll definitely be President at some point, that's a given.

The last decade or so has really taught me to avoid saying the words "that will never happen."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Don't you think that into existance Matt! Take it back!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 hours ago

Look, I don't believe in manifesting, but I still think we should be a little cautious

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 hours ago

There is a non-zero chance of this happening, unfortunately.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

All 3 of the opening fights were amazing.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 hours ago

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.

The only thing real in this conflict was the paychecks at the end.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

And the buffering

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Oh boy did we buffer.

We buffered like it was 1999.

I thought it was cute all the people saying Mike was going to murder him. As a 45 year old boxer I am pretty exhausted after 3 minutes. 5 rounds later and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea in an armchair sitting by the window. Time catches up to us all.
