Among the fight’s harshest critics was sports journalist Stephen A. Smith, who stated that the bout was “sad to watch” during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take and urged Paul to get in the ring with “real boxers.”
“You can’t continue to build a career without getting in the ring with real fighters,” Smith said.
Netizens were left scratching their heads by the fight, with many pointing out how Tyson’s performance in the ring differed compared to his training videos
“There was an undeniable moment when Tyson swung and could have very easily knocked Jake Paul out but instead pulled back and missed purposely,” a viewer wrote. “In the ring, Tyson was a completely different person to what we saw while he was training.”
“It was like a WWE fight, scripted,” another replied. “if it were real, Tyson would’ve battered him, just a money maker.”
“Mike did it for the money,” a reader argued. “He only received payment per round and would have lost lots of his percentage by knocking Jake’ the fake’ Paul out.”
“100% fixed, which was expected. Sadly, Jake Paul is referred to as a pro boxer, having not faced any current boxers.”
“How about prison for fixing a fight?” asked one viewer, as others joined in to express disappointment over the fight
