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.

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 54 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 1 points 14 minutes ago

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

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

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 128 points 6 hours ago (16 children)

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

He won

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.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar 3 points 1 hour ago

All 3 of the opening fights were amazing.

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 14 points 5 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.

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.

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

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 33 points 6 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 27 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy did we buffer.

We buffered like it was 1999.

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Surprised they didn’t wheel him out too

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

He was still buffering

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I never had it buffer once on me. Pirate IPTV > paying for a streaming svc.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Let's be a little more honest on that one. Yes, IPTV is cheaper but also yes, it does buffer. I tried looking for it there but must have searched badly.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 24 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 hours ago

I learned it involves a lot of homoerotic hugging as well

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 hours ago

I was really hoping to see Jake Paul get crippled.

Young rapist defeats old rapist in "which rapist can punch harder" contest.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 34 points 7 hours ago (26 children)
