BOXING – The legend returned to the ring at 58 years old. Finally, Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson without brilliance.
We must go back to June 11, 2005 to find Mike Tyson’s very last career fight. The legend was then opposed to Kevin McBride and appeared far from his best level. At 58 years old, Tyson returns to the ring against Jake Paul, 31 years younger than him. The legend showed that he had lost none of his anger by slapping his young opponent during the last face-to-face. Both men had promised nothing other than a knockout in the ring. Eventually, Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson without brilliance.
Summary of the meeting
Mike Tyson is the hunter in the first round. The legend literally pushes Jake Paul who still begins to find his jab at the end of the round. Tyson has already slowed down a lot during the second round, which could let people fear the worst if the fight were to last. Iron Mike falters dangerously in the third round while Jake Paul seems to gradually gain the upper hand. If Tyson only throws relatively few punches, Jake Paul fails to bring him down despite more volume on his side.
ON THE SAME SUBJECT:
Eventually, neither man will fall during the encounter. In the last ten seconds, Jake Paul chooses to no longer fight and to pay tribute to his legendary opponent… Heading to Canelo Alvarez now?
