Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

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.

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight was less a contest of fists than a melancholy dance-a staged spectacle, and yet, a strange mirror of life. I won't dwell on the fixed ending, the scripted moves, the sense that the fight was little more than a play. Instead, let's look deeper, at the sad poetry of what it revealed.

Seeing Tyson-a lion in his winter, once the embodiment of raw strength-reduced to this, a shadow play for spectacle's sake, felt like a hollow echo of his former self. Here was a man who once fought for glory, now standing not for honor, but for the price tag stamped on it. The money bought this fight, yes, but more painfully, it bought a piece of his legend. A reminder, perhaps, that no figure, no legacy, can forever escape the tug of time and fortune.

This wasn't sport; it was a quiet tragedy dressed as entertainment, a reminder that even giants grow weary, even legends fade, and that in the end, we all have our price. Watching him move to a preordained rhythm made me ache with the realization: in life, as in this ring, so much of what we believe to be real is little more than spectacle. And yet, knowing this, we can't help but keep watching.

As a fight, it was empty. As a symbol, it was haunting.

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.
