Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

I decided to return to Netflix for this match, but this event and the main match itself proved to be the biggest disappointment in the history of live streaming.

The live stream crashed or buffered even before the main match. In the end, I didn't see the main match until after it was over. Many subscribers complained about the same thing. You would think that Netflix would have been prepared for something like this, given the huge hype for the match.

This night of boxing offered only one enjoyable and classic fight. The rating of 1 will remain until Netflix has made up for this disappointment. Otherwise this is a 5/10.

This so-called boxing event was nothing more than a money-making scheme disguised as a fight. The matchup between Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, and the legendary Mike Tyson was built on an avalanche of media hype and shallow promotional tactics, but it delivered almost nothing of substance.

The fight lacked authenticity, skill, and any semblance of genuine competition. Tyson, though a boxing icon, seemed more like a shadow of his former self, and Jake Paul's performance felt more about sustaining his celebrity status than showcasing real boxing prowess.

What makes this event even more infuriating is the ripple effect it's had on the boxing world.

In the Netherlands, we're now seeing personalities like Manoeuf and Dave Roelvink attempting to replicate this kind of spectacle, feeding off the manufactured drama for personal gain. This trend is reducing boxing to a mere sideshow, overshadowing the discipline, dedication, and legacy that true fighters bring to the sport.

Really just embarrassing for everyone involved. Tyson for taking the fight and looking like a 60 year old man after all this talk of KO'ing Paul he did nothing for 16 minutes. The main fight was the shortest fight of the night due to Tyson's age and he never once managed to get the fight going, he just looked old, even the highlight reel for the fight is less than 2 minutes. It's embarrassing for Paul after all the talk he beat an old man by decision, no big fight moment. He even said he was going easy on Tyson as he could feel the age difference, what type of entertainment is that? Young boy takes it easy on old man. Yeah I'm sure that's the headline Netflix wanted for it's big boxing match. And finally embarrassing for us for having to watch this rubbish and live in a world that praises people who beat up on old men. Never again.

This was a painful watch. Not because of the brutality, but because of the utter lack of it. The whole thing felt staged, like a poorly choreographed wrestling match with boxing gloves. Mike Tyson, a legend I grew up watching, moved around the ring like a shadow of his former self, throwing hesitant punches and barely engaging. It was sad to see, honestly.

Jake Paul, on the other hand, seemed to be playing a role, cautiously tapping at Tyson without ever really committing to a knockout. The whole thing reeked of a pre-determined outcome, designed for maximum profit rather than a genuine sporting contest. It felt insulting as a fan, like they were banking on nostalgia and spectacle instead of delivering a real fight.

Even the commentary felt flat, forced to hype up moments of minimal action. The crowd seemed equally underwhelmed, with cheers feeling more obligatory than enthusiastic. By the end, I wasn't even interested in who won. The whole thing felt like a waste of time, a cynical exercise in extracting money from fans.

The only genuine emotion I felt was disappointment. Disappointment for Tyson, who deserved a better send-off, and disappointment for boxing as a whole. This wasn't a fight; it was a carefully constructed performance, and a bad one at that.

First of all netflix servers were terrible today and you couldn't watch the fight in a quality more than 360p. The actual fight started like 3 hours in the stream so what happened in the previous 3? Showing us random events that nobody cares! I don't really know anything about boxing but the fight seemed to be way too short and fake. Tyson after the first 2 rounds didn't do anything he wasn't even dodging or hitting jake paul. Jake on the other hand also didn't really seem to fight at all. Punches didn't look strong at all and the whole thing looked like a sparing match which is the shame considering it got delayed before and received so much hype. I think netflix just wanted more dirty money and the whole thing was scripted even though I knew that Jake was going to win anyway. One of the most boring sport event in history.
