Yes, we give Mike his credit and due in this fight, but we all know that he is not going to win against a young fighter in Jake Paul. Others including me are disappointed as there are no more actions in the ring between the two.

If you knew that old is not going to win against young, why are you disappointed with the result? Either you wanted to Mike to be knocked out after being exhausted. Or expected a top high speed performance from an old man. Even though the fight was claimed to be a professional, with special rules, it still looked like an exhibition with nuances. From my point of view, the idea of this fight was to see legendary boxer once again in the ring, then to see one boxer is devastating his opponent.

It was from this match I knew that anything can be fixed. I was so surprised the way Mike was behaving in the out has if he has no hand to hit his opponent, Jake Paul. The match was very disappointing to see the shits that are going on in sports. He was paid exorbitantly to lose the match and I know he was happier to receive such a fortune. Maybe he forgot that his past history had been tarnished with a token he was given. I know many boxers will do the same thing, losing great match that was supposed to increase his rank as one time king of boxing. Many gamblers lost huge amounts of money from the match and casinos made money from us.

Very disappointing indeed on which you could really be able to say that this wasnt really that a fight at all. You could see up tons of opportunities on which Mike could take down Jake but ending up on having those half-way punches and obviously trying out to avoid on hitting up hard Jake and finish up the fight. For exhibition fights then those fixing type of thing isnt really that shocking or surprising at all, and thats why when i have seen on how Mike did make such move then i did really actually laugh and tell to myself that this was really obvious that this fight isnt really supposed to take down its opponent but rather trying out to make out some drama to make it last for long rounds and as if they do really give out that value for the money into their fans that watching.

On side note: Drake loses $350,000 on this one. lol
Canadian rapper Drake wagered $355,000 on Mike Tyson in his fight against Jake Paul, which took place on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Known for his sports betting, Drake backed 58-year-old Tyson in his return to the ring. However, Tyson lost to 27-year-old Paul by unanimous decision, resulting in Drake losing his bet.
