Summary

Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old Mike Tyson in an eight-round boxing match, with unanimous scores of 79-73 and 80-72.

The bout, widely criticized as a “stunted show,” highlighted Tyson’s physical decline, including issues with sciatica, a stomach ulcer, and knee problems.

Tyson, once a feared heavyweight champion, struggled to compete, while Paul’s performance lacked effort and authenticity.

Fans, initially supportive of Tyson, grew disenchanted, booing by the final rounds.

Tyson dismissed the fight’s significance beforehand, rejecting the concept of legacy as meaningless. The event was seen as a cynical, contrived spectacle.

    I will admit, the whole “It’s no cancel culture, it’s consequence culture!” annoys me

    When in reality, we let people learn from their mistakes and grow into better people.

    Only a dumbass still thinks Dave Mustaine still gets into drunken fights with Metallica like he did 40+ years ago, but… if the internet had existed back then the Tumblr Twitter whoever Zeitgeist they’d still label him a monster, and be the only ones.

    If the Rise and Return of Trump is any indicator, the internet is not indicative of real life.
