Jake Paul was not impressed with Mike Tyson in their fight.
Tyson and Paul had their highly controversial showdown on Friday, and despite some fans believing that the ‘Iron Mike’ of old may make an appearance in the bout, the former world heavyweight champion looked every bit of his 58-years-old.
He wore a knee brace in the fight and failed to land any major blows to make spectators believe that he could be on the verge of getting a knockout win.
Paul controlled the fight for the majority of the action, leading to him earning a unanimous decision victory after the judges scored it 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in his favour.
In the immediate aftermath, the Youtuber-turned-boxer was respectful of Tyson, claiming that he didn’t want to knock out his opponent due to how much the boxing legend meant to him.
Now that the dust has started to settle, Paul has changed his stance slightly, and he needed just three words to sum up Tyson’s performance when speaking on Impaulsive with his brother Logan.
“He was surviving.”
Paul then explained what he would have liked to Tyson do differently.
“I wish he would have put up a better fight so that I could have risen more and done more. He was surviving, so that was the only thing that I didn’t like. [His punches felt like nothing] I didn’t feel a thing to be honest. He didn’t really land anything.”
One man who watched the fight on Friday is current WBC interim light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, and he needed just four words to sum up the performance of ‘Iron Mike.’
