Boxing fans were treated to one of the most anticipated fights of the year on Friday night, as legend Mike Tyson faced off against young star Jake Paul . However, the event didn’t seem to live up to expectations, with many Netflix users experiencing technical issues and a performance that left Tyson fans disappointed.

Fight night began with a wave of complaints on social media from viewers who were having trouble watching the stream on Netflix. These technical issues significantly affected the atmosphere of the event and angered fans who were eagerly awaiting this fight.

When it came time for the main event, the gap in age and fitness between the 58-year-old Mike Tyson and his younger opponent, Jake Paul , 27, became apparent. Although Tyson made it through the eighth round, his performance was far from what fans expected, as he was unable to come close to the more energetic and fast Paul.

Jake Paul managed to dominate the match, but his style angered the crowd, who did not stop booing throughout the fight. Despite his clear victory, many wondered how strong he really was, especially with his statements in the post-match press conference.

At the post-fight press conference, Paul was asked about his performance and whether he had given up some of his offensive power after Tyson was clearly tired. Paul replied,
“Yeah, definitely. I wanted to entertain the crowd, but I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to.”

When asked if Tyson’s punches were as hard as the legends say, Paul said they weren’t:
“No… they didn’t hurt. Actually, none of the punches really hurt me. I might have felt a little dazed against Tommy Fury, but that’s about it.”

Tyson, who returned to the ring four years after fighting Roy Jones Jr. , showed a marked decline in speed and power. While Jones had praised Tyson’s striking power in the week leading up to the fight, fans did not see the devastating power that characterized Tyson in his prime.

Despite the challenges he faced, Tyson stated in a post-fight interview that he is ready to return to the ring again in the near future. It seems that the legend still has a great passion for boxing, despite his advanced age.

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul was one of the most anticipated events in boxing this year, but it didn’t live up to expectations for many. However, the event remains a reminder of Tyson’s strength and love for boxing, even as he ages.
