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.

    Jake Paul’s a fucking tool, but it’s pretty fucked up to wish a horrible brain disease on someone my guy…

      People can always change and the one thing the internet never seems able to do is forgive. To the point where they’ll wish death on people before they’ll allow them to grow

        I will admit, the whole “It’s no cancel culture, it’s consequence culture!” annoys me

        When in reality, we let people learn from their mistakes and grow into better people.

        Only a dumbass still thinks Dave Mustaine still gets into drunken fights with Metallica like he did 40+ years ago, but… if the internet had existed back then the Tumblr Twitter whoever Zeitgeist they’d still label him a monster, and be the only ones.

        If the Rise and Return of Trump is any indicator, the internet is not indicative of real life.
