How Jake Paul Beat Mike Tyson

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha this fight couldn't have been more obviously fixed if they tried..about as pre booked as Logan Vs LA knight. Tyson obviously was Jobbing for him, there's no advantage to Paul losing, Tyson gets a payday and Paul gets hype. I totally agree Tyson is 3 times his age, and don't doubt that Paul has skills, but I reeeeally doubt he'd let himself take a real risk against Tyson since it hurts his image. Logan has proven himself as great in WWE, but idk, there's way too much money on the line to leave it to chance, it's basically just WWE

​​@@ZelphTheWebmanceri have suspicion that some of the boxers in these lists are "journeymen". They often start as legit boxers trying to get a career. But after 2 or more losses they don't get promoted anymore.. so... they take on any fight they can get and... they might or might not lose some of them on purpose... but they are paired to lose. U can even find some of these guys cheer as if they won even when they lost. Cuz they get money from it. If they lose against a boxer that is promoted to have winstreak they are hired again. If they accidenally win against such boxer it might be last time anyone hires them. U can find footage about them being good at dodging and having decent form& technique... but they just aren't maybe giving their all. Its nasty how boxing federations and promoters work... i don't really see boxing as legit sport for this reason. The actual athletes can be legit yes but this system punishes way too harshly if you lose one too many times and only way to recover is either go on journean career or try the same route in different federation (or learn other martial arts and maybe ufc career). It is really hard to trust this system cuz some legit sportspersons are dropped way too soon.

Napoleon Blownapart has a 90 minute video on "Circus Fights" (aka Freakshow fights) or fights where a boxer goes against a wrestler, 3-4 guys vs 1 guy, etc. Fights that are meant to sell tickets than be a completion. He ends with the Paul brothers, he gives them just enough props for calling out Dana White on fighter pay and even if the fights are rigged to lose, Paul does give them the money they need for, let's say, hip surgery. But then he rightfully calls Paul out on his many levels of exploitation, from the fighters, to his fans, to his young audience. But that's like 20 minutes. He goes into Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali v Antonio Inoki, Pride FC. It's really good and I recommend it.

Finally someone isnt blind to the situation. It actually really pissed me off that the consensus of the internet was basically that Mike Tyson would ruin his reputation and take a loss just for a quick buck. “but the training footage showed mike having explosive power he must have pulled his punches“. Those clips were precisely why I was so worried for Mike before the fight started. There wasnt a single one of them more than 10 seconds long. He simply cannot keep up that strength at that age

[@ggwp638BC]

I mean, we agree there is no evidence of the matching being thrown, but realistically, is there a difference? Tyson was most aware of his situation. He took the bag knowing how it would end. I don't blame him for that, but as a boxing legend there is some pride that was spat on for this to happen. At the end of the day, it's not like he was forced to fight.

[@mr.f716]

​​​He's also been a convicted criminal for, idk what's allowed in a youtube comment but having nonconsensual sex with someone. So I mean, he's done some really messed up stuff and I wouldn't say he has a great reputation that is deserving of this level of empathy. @ashiok Even regarding his reputation as a boxer, like the video said he kind of lost a lot of that reputation and respect 20 years ago by admitting he's just fighting to pay bills. As was also stated here he made a ton of money. Therefore, there is nothing truly cruel about this situation, he wasn't forced to do this. Nothing "pulled him into the ring" except a pay day lol. He isn't some helpless old man who doesn't understand what is going on

[@jamiebaker9264]

​@@novum2915 While what youre saying is correct I have to nitpick you a little. It is sympathy that Tyson doesnt deserve. Your logical assessment, considering factors to determine ethical merit, is the realm of sympathy. It is what we offer, not what we feel. With that in mind, empathy is especially relevant here. We empathize with this old man, beaten and to some, humiliated. This criminal still wears shoes we can fit into, thus we are compelled by our nature to be considerate of his condition. He deserves little to no sympathy but he elicits a great deal of empathy.

[@nooneinparticular5273]

I mean, the simple fact of the matter is Mike is a 60 year old man. You could tell watching it, Mike is the better boxer from a technical standpoint, and by far. Of course he is. He's Mike Tyson. He's been boxing and fighting his whole life. He grew up fighting. Jake grew up a sheltered white child actor who's only been doing this for fun for a few years and hasn't fought a serious pro yet. Mike's defense was on point, Jake got almost nothing through that really seriously hurt Mike. He hit him hard a few times, but nothing that really stunned him, let alone knocked him down. Unfortunately Mike had no legs. They say you never lose power and they're generally right, but he couldn't close distance to use it and his conditioning gave out within 2 rounds because, again, he is 60 years old. He gave it a good attempt, but you can't beat time.

[@TruXavia]

You can see his knee buckle abnormally nearing the end of the first round, this being the second before he became stiff and slow. Age really does do a number on you

[@nooneinparticular5273]

@@TruXavia Yep, age remains undefeated. The human body just ain't meant to box or compete professionally in something as intense as boxing at that age. You're pushing it at 50 and Mike was 10 past that. And I mean, hey, it's a credit to Mike that he did as well as he did. He did better than most of us could ever hope to at 60.

[@thaddeusgenhelm8979]

@@nooneinparticular5273 I'm reminded of the old Norse story where Utgard Loki sends an old woman to wrestle Thor, and though he tries valiantly he's utterly defeated because she's actually an incarnation of time, of old age, and not even the gods themselves could defeat such a thing in contest like that... If we can credit Jake with anything here, it's choosing his "ally" in the fight well.

[@GAHAHAHH]

I don't even think it's an age thing. I know people who are older than Mike who are good even by professional standards, my taekwondo master back when I was learning had a discipline and talent that far exceeded what was expected of a teacher, she was 58 years old at the time and shorter than 5ft4inch yet she would do double the push ups when counting out for the class and even though it was strictly light to no contact, I always got a sense that she was holding back tremendous power, to have her fist stop in front of your face was like being Genos in that scene in one punch man. She wasn't just teaching others she was trying to push her limits as well. I think it's more about a mental state and consistent training. Not only was Mike not training he was out of practice and in a bad mental state, at least that's how he comes across to me.

[@nooneinparticular5273]

@GAHAHAHH It was definitely an age thing. Mike had been training very hard for this. He'd even gone in for special procedures and treatments to get himself in as good shape and as healthy as possible. And it definitely was not a matter of being out practice. Again, his defense was sharp and very effective. He simply didn't have the endurance or mobility needed to be a boxer because at 60, you can't control it. Some people are luckier than others, your instructor for example, benefitted from a couple things I suspect. For one, she was small. 5'4. Her body has much less wear and tear because she wasn't carrying much weight. Mike is and was a heavyweight boxer. He's not the tallest dude, but he is a powerfully built guy. She also benefitted from not doing pro boxing. Being in good shape is a different thing from being in shape for boxing or another pro sport. Boxing is a high intensity sport of bursts of exertion. Constantly moving. It's not just when you punch or block that you are burning energy. You're talking sparring, which I guarantee you Mike was doing. As for how hard you think she was punching, you're probably right. But I'm sure Mike was punching at Jake even harder. Because power doesn't really go away with age. Durability, agility, reaction time, those are the things that can dull. Impressive as she sounds, I guarantee you she was not the athlete at 58 that she was at 28. Same as this Mike Tyson at 60 years old, he was not the Mike Tyson of the 90s. You can fight age, you can hold it off, some do better than others, but no one wins that fight. Mike's legs were shot, his conditioming was gone and I am certain it was not due to lack of training. He was pretty public with how hard he trained for this thing.

Something me and my freind siad about this fight was if Jake Paul won the fight he jusr dragged a near 60 year old man out of retirement to beat on him and if he lost he ran his mouth and got beat up by Mike tyson so either way people would hate on him but it's that type of hate the generates the money for Jake

My old man is 62 this year. He asked me to help him lift some metal tressels onto the back of his ute. It was at this moment that I realised he was getting old. While still physically fit and capable, he struggled. I heard him groan as he tried to lift. I'm not a particularly healthy male of 37, I'm not in shape, due to medical issues I have only, less than a year ago, had a hip replacement. I lifted my end with ease, no struggle whatsoever, but he.... he groaned with effort.

Jake Paul, like many men, craves identity. Someone like Mike Tyson seems to have had his identity set by a grand fate-like God Himself etched his legacy in stone before time began. But Jake Paul’s life has been one that hasn’t been carved out of stone. His life and his legacy are snow. Because of his wealth and his team, he is able to shape that snow into an occasionally convincing castle. But his life has protected him from anything that actually required him to grow as a man. He has successfully created limelight-maybe that’s his legacy-but he hasn’t seen the sunlight. If he had, he would’ve melted by now.

They see the way the wind is blowing before others, and based on that, they make moves. Then the wonks say "this is stupid. Why would they do this?" Only for them to end up being totally right and it working in their favour. Their one weakness is in the cases where their instincts are wrong and they are put of balance is really hurts them. Like the Suicide Forrest incident. But they both refuse to tap out, they weather the storm, knowing in social media and the 24 hour news cycle, people will be on to something else in no time.

Great video. I'd like to point out that this applies to pretty much every competitive sport. A common and obviously-similar example is in what I call "fighting game purgatory," in which you're better than all your friends, so nobody in your clique wants to play you. But you're also worse than all the big tournament players in your area, so you can't fit in there either. Paul is basically capitalizing on the fact that he can consistently beat his friends on the couch in a game they all play, and can beat pro players in a fighting game they don't play much. You could also apply this to good vs pro musicians, native vs non-native speakers of a given language, etc. You hit the nail on the head in your analysis of how the metric itself of his skill is being kept intentionally easy to misunderstand. I'm glad you made it easy for people like me who know nothing about fighting to see so clearly.
