If anyone actually watched the whole thing, Tyson came out hot and Paul had a moment of fear. Then old man got hit a few times and looked like he was about to wobble to the ground.
I thought it was gonna be fake and scripted. And most of it was. But, the actual fight? Mike came out hot and it was pretty clear Paul could have taken him out a number of times but didn’t. He didn’t want to hurt him.
Look, I don’t like Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”
You could gamble on it, which means there was money to be made courting suckers.
I'm sure the lion's share of "rigged" proclamations were coming from folks who got baited into bad bets.
I think Tyson had the power in his arms to do some damage but he just did not have the speed to get in at all after 2 rounds. And he'd leave himself open if he tried.
After the 3rd he couldn't stance, he was flat on his feet.
Thanks for an actually smart summary. I only watched the first few rounds, then skipped to the end, but I have the same impression.
Paul was using his head, not wanting kill a 58 yrs old sport legend accidentally. Also, he stayed in distance, to avoid accidentally walking into a stronger punch from Tyson’s shorter arms. The match we have seen is the logical result of these factors, no scripting needed.
Paul and Tyson made 40 and 20 million from this, 120 million ppl watched live on Netflix, so now the phones will not stop ringing at Paul’s promotion agency to make fights like these happen in the future, as I bet a lot of boxers would love to make money like Tyson did.
Thanks for the summary, I was wondering how it went down.
Best summary I've read.
