It is reasonable to say that after setting our alarms to watch the most anticipated bout of the year, it was even more disappointing than we had anticipated.
Iron Mike, who is 58 years old, naturally passed out after the first round, and when he stopped punching Jake Paul, the fight swiftly turned into an exhibition.
However, it was evident that both combatants were eager to do it before we start complaining that it was “an unfair matchup” and “not a real boxing match.” Money speaks, after all.
The legendary boxer stated after the contest that he had “no regrets” about going into the ring for “one last time.” “This is one of those situations where you lost but still won,”
Tyson said on social media, revealing that he ‘nearly died’ in June. Thank you for last night. No remorse about taking a final plunge into the ring.
“I nearly passed away in June. received eight transfusions of blood. I had to fight to become healthy to fight after losing half my blood and twenty-five pounds in the hospital, but I prevailed.
“No man has the right to demand that my kids watch me go toe-to-toe and complete eight rounds in front of a crowded Dallas Cowboy stadium against a gifted fighter half my age. Thank you.
Paul, meanwhile, said that his affection for the fighting icon made him hesitant to knock Tyson out. “I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt,”
He stated during a press conference. “I could tell Tyson was getting a little older at one point because he wasn’t responding.
“That violence war thing… that went away as the rounds went on.”People simply enjoy making fun of me. I say stuff I want people to despise on purpose.
That’s my favorite activity. Give me a few months if people would like to see more.I made an effort to fight as hard as I could. “When someone’s just surviving in the ring, it’s hard to make it exciting.
“What people think is irrelevant to me. It is what it is. He continued on his podcast, BS with Jake Paul: “I apologize for not knocking him out.
“I didn’t want to harm him too much after seeing how exhausted he was, but I also wanted the spectators to have a positive experience.
However, there came a time when I stopped being assaulted and my fury and aggression subsided. I adore Mike.
