Welcome to Black and White Sports, where we tell you the unfiltered truth about the world of sports. And today, we’ve got to talk about the absolute disaster that was the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. Folks, this was a complete circus—nothing more than a fake, staged event designed to make money. The coverage was terrible, and the fight itself was a joke. Let’s break it all down.

A Terrible Start with Netflix

Let’s start with the coverage of the event. The fight was supposed to start at 7 p.m., and I was ready for it. But Netflix? Oh boy, they had issues. Their stream kept buffering, and I couldn’t watch the fight on my TV. I even tried pulling it up on my phone, but the buffering was just as bad. This wasn’t just a minor glitch—this was a major problem, and it ruined the experience for a lot of viewers. In fact, I missed the whole fight because of it! Netflix had no business hosting this event if they couldn’t handle the traffic. This was a major fail.

The Fight Itself: A Complete Joke

Now, onto the fight. Mike Tyson, a boxing legend, going up against Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-“boxer.” From the get-go, it was clear that Tyson wasn’t the same fighter he once was. He still had some flashes of his old self in the first two rounds, but after that, it was all downhill. Mike Tyson’s legs were shot. You could see it—he was barely moving, and his punches lacked the power that made him a feared fighter in the 80s. Meanwhile, Jake Paul, at 27 years old, was doing what he always does—running around, staying out of Tyson’s reach, and avoiding any real danger.

I have to give credit to Ryan from Sports Awards, who predicted there would be a “no knockout” clause in the contract. I believe he was spot on. Jake Paul didn’t knock Tyson out, and he didn’t even try to. Tyson was an easy target, and Paul still didn’t finish him off. It’s clear this was all part of the plan. Jake Paul wasn’t fighting for victory—he was fighting for the payday.

Fans Aren’t Buying It: Backlash Everywhere

The reaction to this fight has been brutal. Just check the comments on Bleacher Report or any other sports outlet. Fans are trashing Jake Paul. One comment even said, “Who’s he fighting next? Joe Biden?” Another one said, “I fell asleep during the fight.” This wasn’t just a bad fight—it was boring. Fans weren’t entertained; they felt like they were watching a setup. And honestly, I get it.

Jake Paul is not a real boxer. He’s an entertainer, and this was nothing more than an entertainment stunt. It was clear to anyone with a sense of boxing that Tyson was no longer the fearsome fighter he once was, and Jake Paul wasn’t interested in taking the fight seriously. The whole thing felt like a scripted event, and fans are not happy about it.

The Fight Was A Stunt, Not Real Boxing

I’ve seen people in the comments calling this a “fake fight,” and I’m inclined to agree. It was a mockery of the sport of boxing. A real boxer wouldn’t have let Tyson hang around for eight rounds like Jake Paul did. And Jake Paul, despite his flashy YouTube career, is not a real fighter. He can’t hang with actual boxers—he’s just been lucky so far. When you see people like Jake Paul fighting legends who are past their prime, it’s hard not to think the whole thing is rigged for the spectacle.

Mike Tyson may be 58, but his legacy in boxing is secure. He didn’t need this fight, and I think he’s just collecting a paycheck. Jake Paul, on the other hand, is looking for validation in the ring, but he’ll never get it by fighting guys who are decades past their prime. He needs to face real, young competition if he wants to be taken seriously.

The Backlash for Tyson

Let’s talk about Tyson’s reputation for a moment. Some people are saying Tyson’s legacy is tarnished because of this fight, but I don’t buy it. Tyson has already cemented his place in boxing history. He’s a Hall of Famer, and this fight won’t change that. What this fight has done, however, is hurt Jake Paul’s reputation even more. He’s now being seen as someone who only fights for money, not for the sport.

Some fans are even pushing for Jake Paul to face real boxers like Canelo, and honestly, I agree. But if Paul ever steps in the ring with someone like Canelo, it’ll be a disaster. Canelo would demolish Jake Paul within the first two rounds, no questions asked. This isn’t a sport for YouTubers—Jake Paul is out of his depth.

Final Thoughts

Was the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight scripted? Let me ask you: What do you think? It sure seems like it was. There are too many signs pointing to this being nothing more than a setup—a way for both Tyson and Paul to cash in while giving the fans a fight that wasn’t real. Tyson’s legacy is intact, but Jake Paul? He’s just a guy who got lucky against washed-up opponents. If he wants to be a real boxer, he needs to step up and fight real competition.

This fight was a joke, and the backlash for Jake Paul is only going to grow. So, what’s next for Jake Paul? More staged fights? Real opponents? Only time will tell, but I know one thing for sure: if he keeps going down this path, fans won’t be tuning in anymore.
