Well it was so bad that they are allowing the match to be shown on YouTube... Tyson barely threw a punch after the first few rounds. Paul actually took it easy on Tyson.
Yeah, it looked scripted. Paul ran away from Tyson for the first two rounds to tire him out, and then held back at the end when he could have gotten the KO, with Tyson's legs so wobbly. However, 27-YO Tyson would have clobbered 27-YO Paul in the first round back in the day. Can't beat old age I guess.
I also didn't know that Netflix was filming a documentary around the fight, with Tyson and Paul spending a lot of time around each other for that purpose, which just looks suspicious.
But that welter weight fight between Barrios and Ramos was awesome! Those guys beat each other to a pulp! I actually enjoyed that one more than the Tyson-Paul fight.
BTW, Paul has confirmed that he took it easy on Tyson in the end:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14089935/Jake-Paul-KO-Mike-Tyson.htmlPaul admitted afterwards that he decided not to knockout out Tyson after it was clear that he refrained from landing a decisive blow.
In the last 10 seconds of the fight, he even stepped back and bowed towards Tyson in a show of respect to sporting royalty - while effectively taking his foot off the gas.
Following the victory, the 27-year-old revealed that it was conscious decision not to inflict any unnecessary pain on the 58-year-old who, in his view 'didn't need to be hurt.'
When asked whether he eased up after noticing Tyson tiring, Paul said: 'Yeah definitely. Definitely a bit.
'I wanted to give the fans a show but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt.'
And speaking to Mail Sport after the fight, Jake's brother Logan said of Tyson: 'I think Jake let him live.'
With that said, anybody notice Paul's smokin' hot girlfriend?
