There has been a significant amount of outrage regarding the performance of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in their recent fight. Some fans are under the impression that there might have been a non-aggression pact or contractual limitations, as they find it hard to fathom how a professional boxing match could have unfolded in such a manner. It is quite peculiar that we did not witness the iconic uppercuts that Mike Tyson is renowned for, which have often sent his opponents into slumber.
How Mike Tyson Forgave Jake Paul
After the fight, as we reported, it became evident from the start that Tyson possessed the necessary skills to knock out Paul and bring the fight to an end quickly. The former world champion deftly neutralized Paul's punches or threw them with less force to minimize the damage. In fact, after just two rounds, Tyson seemingly "gave up" on the fight, completely exposing his guard and making it seem as if he no longer had the energy to attack. This allowed Paul to make a comeback on the scorecards in those initial rounds.Jake Paul's Benevolence
Jake Paul declared himself the winner, and the fans erupted in boos. Just like in a pre-written script, even the fight commentators expressed that "The Problem Child" was being lenient with his 58-year-old rival and forgave him the knockout. Paul himself took pride in his actions after the fight, stating, "Yes, I slowed down in the last rounds because I wanted to provide a show for the spectators and I didn't want to harm someone who didn't deserve it."Tyson's Unusual Behavior
Throughout the week leading up to the fight, Tyson seemed quite downcast, as if he didn't really want to participate. During the weigh-in, he even slapped his opponent, perhaps driven by some internal conflict. It is astonishing to see him walk to the ring alone, like a lost soul, and when the fight began, he didn't go all out. After all, this was supposed to be a real boxing match, and his optimal strategy would have been a quick and decisive victory.
