Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

Where do I even begin? Last night was supposed to be the event: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, an exhibition match that promised to deliver spectacle, drama, and perhaps some pure unhinged madness. Whether you love or loathe either of these men, this was going to be a fight for the ages - or at least an entertaining dumpster fire. But thanks to Netflix, the only fight I experienced was with my own Wi-Fi and the refresh button. Spoiler alert: I lost.

Let's backtrack. The hype was real. Netflix, diving headfirst into the realm of live sports, promised a seamless, thrilling experience. The Serrano vs. Taylor fight was the perfect appetizer. A great buildup, tension in the air-this was the kind of content you clear your schedule for. Then, BOOM. Right after Serrano vs. Taylor, Netflix decides to tap out before the main event even starts. The stream froze. Permanently.

Who thought it was a good idea for Netflix, a company that excels at binge-watching dramas and true crime, to suddenly try their hand at streaming a global sporting event? This is like asking someone who's only ever made microwaved ramen to cater a Michelin-starred dinner. Sure, maybe they can pull it off, but odds are you'll end up with a soggy mess-and that's exactly what happened here.

Netflix clearly bit off more than they could chew. They marketed this event like they had the infrastructure of ESPN, DAZN, or any platform that's actually done this before. But when the chips were down and the audience was watching, they folded.

Netflix, you had ONE job. You could have nailed this and opened the door to a whole new era of sports entertainment. Instead, you cemented your reputation as a platform that should stick to what it knows: scripted content. Don't come back to the sports world until you've learned how to stream a live event without turning it into a colossal train wreck.

If you're reading this and considering watching a live sporting event on Netflix in the future: don't. Save yourself the frustration, find an alternative, and leave Netflix to do what they're good at-feeding us endless reruns of The Office. Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson deserved better, and so did we.

The best part about this "fight" was the part I didn't see due to the netflix servers buffering. The look on Jake Paul's face when Mike hit him in rounds 1 and 2 told me all I need to know. Salute. So the rest of the way, Jake ran around the ring throwing body shots that. A baby's bottom would be proud of. I mean those blows were as weak as wet toilet tissue. Congrats to Mike Tyson for cashing a $20 million check at age 58 for doing cardio. May we all strive to be so lucky doing similar activities at age 58. So to Jake Paul, pick on someone your own age and see if you won't have a different outcome, but I know your ego probably couldn't handle it.

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.

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.

Complete garbage.,biggest waste of people time and money in a very long time. Total sham. I don't know why people keep falling for this nonsense. I watched it because I already pay for Netflix and I still feel like I wasted my money and time. Clear cash grab by one fake troll and a 60 year old man who admittedly smokes weed consistently all day. Not much else to say, total disgrace, total waste of time total insult to the people who paid their hard earned money to watch this trash. If Jake Paul wants to be a boxer then have him fight real boxers that are his age and weight and stop conning people with these fake nonsense.
