In a display far more spectacle than spectacular, Jake Paul easily trounced 58-year-old Mike Tyson via unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 79-73) on Friday night in a bout that paired two celebrities known far more for their personalities than their current athletic abilities.
For 60 seconds, it looked like Tyson might thrill the packed AT&T Stadium crowd in Arlington, Texas, with a performance reminiscent of his heyday in the ’80s and early ’90s. For the next 19 minutes, he looked exactly like a man nearing his 60th birthday who hadn’t fought a professional boxing match in 19 years, landing just 18 total punches.
