The highly-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson had an unexpected outcome as Jake Paul emerged as the victor. However, many fans were left questioning the authenticity of the fight, with some even going as far as to say it was scripted.
The eight-round bout, which was live-streamed on Netflix, saw Paul take the lead with the judges scoring it 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in his favor. Despite Tyson's impressive record and experience in the ring, he seemed to struggle against his younger opponent, visibly showing his age and even biting down on his own gloves in moments of frustration.
As the fight progressed, it became clear that Paul was in control and could have potentially landed a knockout blow. However, to the surprise of the crowd, he deliberately eased off in the closing rounds, choosing not to cause unnecessary harm to his opponent.
When asked about his decision to take his foot off the gas, Paul explained that he wanted to give the fans a show but also didn't want to hurt someone who didn't need to be hurt. Despite some criticism from fans, he stood by his sportsmanship and showed respect for Tyson.
Speaking of Tyson's performance, Paul noted that there was a point where the former champion was not engaging back, which he believed was a result of his age catching up to him. He also acknowledged that it's difficult to make a fight exciting when one person is just trying to survive.
While some fans praised Paul for his show of sportsmanship, others were quick to call the fight out as scripted. They pointed to moments during the match where Paul appeared to bow down to Tyson and accused Netflix of exploiting a 58-year-old legend for their own gain.
In the end, the outcome of the fight may have left some disappointed, but it's clear that both Paul and Tyson showed respect and dignity throughout. Whether or not the fight was truly scripted, it's undeniable that it was an event that had the whole world talking.
