Two fans slug it out in the best fight during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout

 

Friday night's fight between 58-year-old former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and 27-year-old Jake Paul was boring because Paul did not want to o inflict any unnecessary pain on old Iron Mike who landed only 18 punches during the entire fight. Paul landed 78 punches as he won by a unanimous decision.

The 8-round bout took place before a packed house of 70,00 spectators in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Two fans slugged it out in the stands. That turned out to be the best fight during the bout between Jake Paul and rusty Iron Mike.

The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in

The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in.

The fight was also streamed by Netflix to 65 million viewers. The quality of the streaming was very poor. A number of outraged viewers said they were cancelling their subscription to Netflix.

 

Fans declared that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the Paul-Tyson bout

 

This was Tyson's first fight in 19 years. Rusty Iron Mike should have stayed home. The fight was so boring that it caused fans to declare that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the bout.

 

The 70,000 fans in the stadium and the 65 million Netflix viewers paid to see a knockdown brawl like the three Rocky Graziano-Tony Zale fights, but what they got was a sleeper instead. It's a shame that only a few of the fans got to see the slugfest in the stands.
