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.
I agree with you. It’s like saying “sportsball” in a condescending way. He was being dismissive when he said I don’t get how it is entertaining in the first place.
I don’t know dude, people have been fighting other people, for sport, for fucking thousands of years, but you don’t understand the “idea of it being entertaining.”
That is straight up, deliberate obtuseness. I am not really a boxing fan, but I thought your response was warranted.
