Alright, let’s get into it. I’ve seen some bad fights in my time, but this one? It’s up there as one of the worst. And to make it worse, it wasn’t just the fight itself that sucked—it was the whole experience surrounding it. The hype, the buildup, the anticipation, and then the delivery? Complete trash. I’m talking about the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, a matchup that was hyped up for months and sold as a massive spectacle in the world of combat sports. But after watching it unfold, I can say with absolute certainty… this fight sucked.

The Lead-Up: Hype That Didn’t Deliver

Let’s start with how we got here. For those of you who didn’t catch the endless promos, this fight between 27-year-old Jake Paul and 58-year-old Mike Tyson had been building up for months—hell, even years. Tyson, one of the most iconic figures in boxing history, coming out of retirement to face off against the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, who’s been on a streak of beating people who are either out of their prime or not really boxers at all.

The whole idea of this fight had that circus-like appeal—hey, here’s a guy who’s not a professional boxer fighting a legend who’s way past his prime, how could this go wrong? Spoiler: It went wrong in every possible way.

The Streaming Disaster: Netflix, You Suck

Let’s talk about Netflix for a second because, honestly, they’re just as responsible for ruining the experience as the fight itself. You would think that with all their resources, they’d know how to handle a live-streaming event, right? Wrong. This fight was plagued with streaming issues from the start. Buffering. Freezing. Crashing. It was impossible to watch. I’m not exaggerating when I say I had to restart my stream at least 10 times just to catch a glimpse of what was happening in the ring.

And don’t even get me started on the fact that Netflix has been messing up live streaming for a while now. I mean, their failed attempts at streaming “Love is Blind” reunions should’ve been enough of a warning. But no, they decided to keep going down this road—and man, did they screw it up. People were straight-up streaming the fight on Twitter with better quality than Netflix could manage. At one point, it felt like I was watching the fight in slow motion. It was brutal.

The Fight Itself: A Complete Circus

Now, let’s talk about the actual fight. If you were expecting a high-stakes, action-packed spectacle, then you were sorely mistaken. The fight started somewhat promising—Tyson threw a couple punches in the first round, and you thought, okay, maybe there’s something here. But by round two? It was clear this was a one-sided show.

Mike Tyson, 58 years old, with a knee brace and clearly past his prime, was walking around the ring like a man who had no business being there. He wasn’t just slow—he was stationary. He couldn’t even keep up with Jake Paul’s basic movements. And Jake? He didn’t exactly take advantage of the situation. Sure, he landed some punches, but you could tell he wasn’t even trying to knock Tyson out. He didn’t have that killer instinct that you’d expect from someone who’s supposedly knocking out opponents left and right. Instead, it felt like he was… playing with his food.

Tyson barely threw any punches after round two, and by the end of it, he was just trying to survive. It was less of a boxing match and more of a “how long can Mike Tyson last before he’s too tired to move?” situation. Tyson’s defense was still decent, but at 58, it was clear he didn’t have the energy to put up a fight.

The End: A Unanimous Decision, Really?

At the end of the fight, Jake Paul was awarded a unanimous decision victory. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I watch a fight, I want to see a knockout or at least something that feels earned. Not just the guy who’s half the other guy’s age beating him on points. Jake Paul, at no point, really earned that win. It was just a matter of surviving and making sure Tyson didn’t completely collapse in the ring. But Tyson didn’t get knocked out. That’s honestly the most impressive thing about the whole event—Mike Tyson’s ability to endure.

But let’s be real—this fight was never about the sport. It was about the spectacle, the social media clout, and the money. It was a circus, plain and simple. A circus that no one should have bought tickets to.

The Aftermath: The Fiasco Continues

The worst part? This fight was supposed to mark a new chapter in combat sports—“legends vs. influencers” and all that nonsense. But it didn’t work. It didn’t even come close to being entertaining. And as much as we can blame Netflix for the terrible streaming experience, the real blame should be placed on the people who thought it was a good idea to put a 58-year-old against a 27-year-old.

Mike Tyson was always going to be outclassed in terms of speed, stamina, and strength, but this fight wasn’t even close. Tyson could barely throw punches, and Jake Paul… well, he just didn’t seem interested in finishing him off. It was clear from the start that Tyson wasn’t going to win, and it was frustrating to watch, especially with all the buffering and delays.

Conclusion: Never Again

So here’s the takeaway: this fight sucked. Netflix sucked. The fight sucked. The whole concept of this “legends vs. influencers” boxing circus sucks. And I’m done with it. I’m done being tricked into watching these types of fights. They’re not real competition, they’re just for show. Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was a money grab, and it didn’t even deliver on that front because the whole thing was a mess.

For anyone who spent money on this, I feel for you. This was an absolute waste of time, money, and energy. Let’s all agree—no more old legends fighting social media stars. Mike Tyson should’ve stayed retired, and Jake Paul? He needs to fight guys his own age, not legends from another era. No more of this crap, please.

Never again. This fight sucked.
