Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in a scandalous show
The problem of the struggle between Mike Tyson (50-7, 44 KOs) and Jake Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) is that the organizers managed to get this fight sanctioned as professional. With this concession, the viewer expected two fighters to go for the win, but that was not the case. Unfortunately, the worst omens of this duel came true: this dance lacked real action. Lots of air strikes and a few more accurate ones from Paul to justify sad victory by unanimous decision (79-3×2 and 80-72). The most incredible thing is that this exhibition fight will be counted in the record of both fighters. If anyone thought that they were teleporting to the 80s, they were very mistaken.
That’s enough to explain “Iron Mike,” at 58 years old, had to restrain himself from the first round to prolong the fight.. If he had wanted to, he could have knocked out his opponent at the first opportunity and none of what happened would have happened. There came a point where he decided not to even raise his fists in case El Gallo got off balance. They only landed four punches in the fifth round, and that was it. There, the youngest champion in heavyweight history has already retired from that show; he was tired and fulfilled his role. Of course IThe two contenders managed to raise the hype around this event to incredible heights.and both will receive a million, especially Jake Paul as the event promoter. Of course, the pedigree came from Tyson, who was in better shape than when he retired 19 years ago.
The one who was known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet” could have knocked him out in the early stages of the fight if he wanted to. There was some action in the third round and Paul broke down when he saw his opponent miss a few punches. That’s how it was all planned: “when you get tired, I’ll take over the matter.” From that point on, the former world champion allowed his opponent to carry the burden of the fight to ultimately emerge victorious. The official version says that the “Problem Child” saved the life of the old boxer.who did him a favor and did not humiliate him, but fortunately for the 27-year-old guy, the teacher played his role very well. As for Paul, he will continue to organize national matches, more typical for wrestling.
“Iron Mike” was incomprehensible, but he did not finish his journey in boxing: “Resign? I don’t think so. Maybe (he will fight) his brother,” he said.. The truth is that even in the evening’s epilogue he seemed lethargic and almost didn’t want to talk. “I didn’t have to prove anything to anyone, just myself.”he stated. His opponent was full of praise: “He’s one of the best to ever do something like this, he’s an icon, he’s a legend. But today it’s not about me, man.
