Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson

Well it should not be exactly surprising that an adult beats someone more than twice their age.

Two things stood out to me:

I thought Mike's conditioning would be better.
And Jake was clearly pulling his punches by halfway through, which was a surprising show of respect somehow.

Not sure how I feel about all that. But I am sure that Jake Paul needs to stop fighting geriatric boxers and boxers he outweighs significantly if he actually wants to prove himself.

It's just a WWE level of entertainment, I don't understand people making a pikachu face.

I (...) know basically nothing about Jake other than he's some kind of social influencer person or whatever.

Good. Keep it that way.

I have only heard of Jake Paul by name, so I also don't really know who he is and have no interest in finding out. I didn't even know this was happening until someone in my house was watching it. I watched it because I wanted to see what would happen with Mike Tyson. I thought Tyson was going to put up more of a fight in the first few rounds and then not have the stamina for the later rounds, but it looked like he showed up for the paycheck and didn't want to fight. He mostly stood around and didn't attempt to throw many punches. It also looked like Jake Paul felt bad and didn't want to beat up a 58 year old legend, so he held back a lot. I haven't seen many boxing matches, mainly I have just watched some of the historic title fights from the 50s - 80s, but this was the lamest fight I have ever seen. Actually, I don't think I would consider it a fight. It was just a big money making opportunity for everyone involved and a big disappointment for everyone watching.

That is fascinating, such an odd solution to a very specific problem.

Disappointing, I would have liked to see Paul fight Iron Mike when he was in his prime. This was just a spectacle purely for the money.

Meh...

Wasn't it an exhibition fight just like the one with Mayweather which oddly ended with a draw?

There were so many huggings I thought it was a Christmas special.

Only reason I even knew this match was happening was because of a Flashgitz cartoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXFR3TmWBfg

This Jake guy is a boxer. A real one. Probably kind of a mediocre one, also. That puts him over 99% of the population.

Mike Tyson is old, like 58 years old. He was fighting somebody half his age.

They were all basically for the money.

I don't watch boxing but I don't get how it's still legal to have guys who are built like fridges pound each other bloody for entertainment (and a lot of money changing hands in bets ofc). I don't mean make it illegal but these guys should be wearing head gear at the minimum.
But ofc that would invalidate the circus appeal.

What happened to Ali is not uncommon and there are worse fates even. Our brain was not meant to rattle around our cranium over and over.
Speaking of which, I recently watched a show called La Màquina about boxing, I recommend it.

The only worthy highlight was the ass shot. 😆

I think it's setup

Mike Tyson slapped $20m out of him. Worth it? Sure.

straight from the get-go i was of the opinion that jake paul had no means of winning (in a larger sense). either he beats a 58 year old man in a boxing match, or gets beaten by a 58 year old man. both are pretty shitty. i mean, that 58 year old man is mike tyson, but still.

and yet, he absolutely managed to pull it off. he clearly pulled his punches and didn't allow himself to knock down mike tyson. with ten seconds left in the match, jake paul dropped his arms and bowed to tyson. virtually nobody wanted to see tyson get clobbered, and he didn't. that's a win. from a quick mcgoogly-do, it looks like jp was paid $40m and tyson got $20m. that's a double win. with the match being so high profile, now a lot more people know who jake paul is. win #3.

so, i guess, good for him. he's still a scumbag though.
and the match was boring. seems to be a theme with these kinds of strange fights..

Don't know why people got so worked up over this fake fight it was obvious from a mile away that it would be fixed
