Joe Rogan Posted Sad Three-Word Tweet After Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
On Friday, the 15th of November, millions of people took to Netflix in order to watch the return of one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time as Mike Tyson took on Jake Paul, and a lot of them went into the bout with a similar hope, to watch the Baddest Man on the Planet knock out the most annoying man on the planet.
However, most of these people had their dreams crushed, with the Problem Child going the distance against Iron Mike, to take a victory by unanimous decision.
Others, who might have been expecting a more exciting contest, may have been left even more disappointed as the bout was marred by technological issues. With Netflix hosting the contest on their platform, constant buffering and ap disconnections dominated the fight as many grew tired of trying to manage the horrible streaming.
Outside the technological issues, however, Jake Paul dominated the fight, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer revealing he intentionally did not knock out the former world champion in an interview with BBC Sport.
“I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt,” Paul said when questioned about the fight. The Ohio-born boxer also claimed to carry Tyson throughout the contest.
“I did, a little bit. He wasn’t really engaging back; I could tell his age was showing, and I have so much respect for him.”
While Iron Mike came out of the gates firing, leaving some fans to believe that maybe the dream could be on, the Problem Child responded with a left hook combination in the third round that had the veteran staggering. Paul proceeded to dominate the rest of the fight, winning the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight rounds.
Quite bizarrely, the YouTube star decided to bow towards Tyson in the dying seconds of the final round, in what some considered to be a mocking gesture. However, it was proven once and for all that, the Baddest Man on the Planet’s time in the sun was finally over, as he couldn’t even muster up the strength to land a hit on a defenceless opponent.
