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.

      Please forget that I raped that woman as I collect my millions…

      EDIT: People so in-love with the persona or work of Tyson that they’ll disregard the unforgivable. That he still denies to this day, even with the evidence. That says more about you than it does this rich celebrity…

          You’re not listening. He refused to apologize for what he did! Rape, like murder, is not just a momentary lapse in judgement/morals, it’s taking everything from someone or scarring them for life. But yes, I believe in redemption. So the moment Tyson acknowledges his violent crime, apologizes for it, and and pays reparations, I’ll shut the fuck up about it.

          Until then, you (and people who pretend the past didn’t happen) are in the wrong for victim-blaming just because he’s popular. I’ll take all the downvotes forever due to this view…
