Jake Paul had the privilege of locking horns with Mike Tyson for eight rounds. Paul won with a clear margin but spectators left the arena with mixed feelings. The 58-year-old Tyson arrived in the ring to a great reception by fans but as the fight went on, the reception changed into disappointment. Tyson’s reflexes and strength are renowned worldwide. He appeared to be in good form in the first round and flashed glimpses of the razor-sharp punch that made him famous. However, after the first round, Mike Tyson’s stamina & power faded away.
In the third round, the audience was able to clearly see that the former heavyweight champion was struggling to follow up with his younger competitor. The boos of the crowd were very loud. Apparently, some viewers online complained about Netflix’s streaming lags too.

To many, it was a sad moment to see a boxing icon like Tyson being beaten right to near exhaustion probably in one of his last fights. However, Mike Tyson did say that he doesn't think he’s done with fighting and cheekily suggested fighting Logan Paul next. People expected more and they were under delivered.
